Complaint

I am not sure were to complain about a player, I was in a silver match and hosting, it was public and Burningbend joined, it was on hydra, I was sniping and used grenades, he then decided to stand in front of me and fire his weapon, he followed me around the map and fired in front everytime, I asked him what his problem was and he said me, no reason as to why, all way though the 11 waves he did this, fair enough I lost my temper and was not kind towards him, the other players saw what happened and did not revive him, basically he leached the entire game, I said I would report him and he said yeah whatever, I am not sure what to do, if he did this to me there is no doubt he would do this to somone else.

    Hi coffeyn7,

     I am not sure if this article will help with this matter. It does have instructions on what to do.

    I found it at https://help.ea.com.article/how-to-report-cheating.

    Goodluck to you. 

    Side note: don't let rudeness spoil your enjoyment of the game. Just play...what goes around comes around--as you saw when the other players came to your side and failed to revive him to show their dislike of his/her behavior.

  • You encountered a griefer. Their goal is the same as that of a forum troll, namely to draw reactions out of annoyed people. In that case, reacting is the worst thing to do. Just ignore the griefer.

    For these sorts of situations I always have Fraps running. If someone's cheating or griefing, I can show evidence. Fortunately, I've mostly played with civilized players and never had to report one.

  • Thanks guys, I have banned him from joining my games.  I have been playing this game since release and never had an experience like this one, I love the game and enjoy meeting new players.  I hope he/she gets whats coming to them.

    Have fun guys hope to see you in game sometime.

    Yeah, I remember this (and you).

    It was because you went to one side of the map, didn't shoot anything, and just hid the entire time while the rest of us were actually working to kill things.  You also didn't bother to do any objectives, and left us to do devices while you didn't even bother to do the one that spawned right behind you.  By the time I said "screw it," you weren't anywhere close to anyone in points and it was pretty clear you were just mooching off of everyone else's effort, and hadn't moved the entire game.  Then I went and intentionally died at the start of each round so that you would actually have to pick up the slack.  I'm not going to put in the effort for you to get free stuff; carry your own weight for a change.  It's a coop game, genius.

    I had no idea you could actually ban people from your games in ME3, but I'm more than happy to be on your list.

    No point digging this back up. This was four years ago. Time to move on.
