@SkullLOB

If you suspect a player or players of cheating, you will have to see how to report them via http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-report-cheating/

Oh guys 🙂 That is the problem. Report is useless ! Many players are very mad !

Support is lazy or powerless! Did You read message to the end ?

You severely over estimate the number of cheaters in PB and FF protected servers. Most of the time they are just better players or you are seeing the effects of latency on your game play experience. Reporting does indeed work, but since you think it doesn't there's no answer that will placate you.

If I might add something... part of the perception that barely anyone gets banned comes from few main aspects:

1) Most of reports are simply false (which is connected to what Ragnarok said - most of 'cheaters' either are better players or bullet sponge because of connection problems)

2) Fairfight requires a certain sample size in order to identify someone using cheats - it will not magically detect a cheater before he even starts playing. It really does a decent job in combination with PB, but it needs some info in order to work.

3) If you report someone, you will NOT receive the results of investigation. Also, that investigation tends to take a while due to sheer number of reports.

4) If someone gets a full ban, you will not see a huge 'BANNED' writing on his profile - from outsider's standpoint, his stats will simply stay the way they were, but he will not play. At all.

So, in conclusion - it's a mix of false reports, anti-cheat programs needing time to react (which is the way anti-cheat programs work in EVERY online game) and you not getting any visible info regarding whether someone got banned after the report..

After watching someone wall hack, become invisible, and pester the heck out players on a server recently (by using both),  I see what you mean. Report them and then link support to the server you were on, as well as the gamer tag of the individual. Then as others have said, you won't know the outcome. If you can record the hack at the time, and can link that to Imgur or the like, and then link that in your report too, it will help for someone to see it. All you can do is bring down one hacker or hack at a time, as the hacks change constantly and need time to be caught and dealt with by a company. At least EA/Battlefield does try to do something about it, unlike other gaming companies/games.  It's a shame some get their joys this way but there is nothing the community here can do about it.
