G'day @HDrag ,

I'm not entirely sure which answer I gave that makes you feel I was justifying people who cheat. I am merely stating that just like in real life, you need proof of an individual doing something wrong before you can challenge them for unlawful or nefarious activities , otherwise it becomes a "he said she said situation". If DICE was to ban everyone that had a report against them with no proof and only hearsay, they wouldn't have a playerbase for very long 🙂

    To further @Real_Noobalishus 's point - EA cannot act on name and shaming/ heresay (without proof) for various reasons, an important one being they'll be open to legal troubles associated with (but not limited to) defemation if the person is innocent.

    I know many players who can go 100-10 in matches and you wouldn't believe the messages they recieve from people accusing them. The best thing to do is enter spectator mode and record at least a few minutes worth of the suspected cheaters gameplay and privately send it to an EA rep to look at.

        G'day @SpiderPigSausage ,

        While it may seem like something may be going on, recently there has been a plethora of highly skilled high level players creating "smurf" accounts in order to boost their K/D score straight from the beginning.

        This has been a common trend in the past 3 months on Xbox and I would only assume this is abundant on other platforms. The best thing you can do is go into spectator mode and actual record the events as a scoreboard does not provide sufficient evidence to state if someone is cheating or not.
