Reporting griefers

Can we please get an option to report griefers that brake check, dirty driving and doesn't adhere to the rules?

I have gameplay recordings/footage of incidents including usernames that can be provided, but there's currently no way of submitting it as of now.

It's starting to get old being taken out on long straights by people that can't handle being overtaken.

This shouldn't be a thing while in A-license anyway.

Can we at least ghost people that attempt to brake check during high speed straights?

    @EA_BarryI did, I sent video and images, and I got a templated response to the ticket via email saying that I had to do it via the link that you provided even though I used the correct form.

    Really tired of being juggled back and forth without anyone taking this seriously. Not a fan of the hoops one has to go through to report another player to later get turned down.

    Please make it easier to report anti-social behaviour like griefing.

    Ticket is in the "Waiting for player" even though I replied to the email.

    @EA_Barry I think it is safe to say that there's no point in even attempting to report anti-social behaviour as one will only get sent into an infinite loop between customer representatives/bots sending template responses, and doesn't bother with reading the content of the initial message/ticket or watching the submitted proof.

    It's also clear that EA nor Codemasters do not care about this issue as there's nothing being made to mitigate it. At this point, why even bother driving cleanly if you can take out your opponents and get away with it and win the race?

    The state of Ranked could be compared to battle royale at the moment as people take each other out left and right.
    I shouldn't have to be afraid of the car ahead and wonder if it is going to spontaneously brake check me on the straight when following the car.
  • @EA_Barry  @EA_rephii  I officially give up, I have now been juggled between 9+ different representatives telling me to "fill out a form" which I already used to create the initial ticket via, or to "join a chat", they refuse to review the image and video files that I provide, and they also create new tickets as soon as I reply to their emails and completely ignoring the report/ticket.

    This is a complete and utter waste of time. I guess EA thinks it is okay to cheat, disrupt, grief and do other anti-social things in F1 23 without any risk of repercussions as it isn't possible to properly report other players. Considering the inaction when attempting to report via a ticket or even attempting to contact the support in the first place.

    I had expected more, especially since there's not even an anti-cheat implemented at the moment.

    It's clear that the certain support center that's located in the eastern part of the world does not seem to be able to do anything else than responding with pre-manufactured template answers and not being the slightest interest of resolving anything. Nor are they able to use or utilize the Salesforce CMS properly.

    Either that or there's no human representatives and it's all bots. Absolutely pathetic regardless.

    This is so incredibly frustrating, and I guess I would have better chance of getting this dealt with by making and publishing a compilation of the infringement of the griefers as that type of publicity seem to be taken seriously.

    @EA_Barry   @EA_rephii Did a final attempt in replying to the latest email that support sent to me and my email just bounced with the reason of "email no longer being monitored", so I guess I am banned/blacklisted from the support.

    Absolutely laughable.

    Yes Im in agreement too, there has got to be a ban for these so called F1 drivers, nearly every single time I may qualify 5th or 6th and by the second bend there is carnage everywhere, this is not racing, you need to buy a different game !!! Does reporting ever result in a block of a player I don’t know. I will not be renewing my subscription in May, in fact could I get a refund now??
