Questions to players who might cheat?

this is directed right at the cheaters; I want to know why they CHEAT in online games.

@-Roasted513-  I don't think cheaters would out themselves on this thread just to explain why they cheat in online games to you.

And also don't confront them in any way since they could try and target you.

Totally agree with this comment. The cheaters are highly unlikely to respond to this post. The best solution is to report them where they least expect it.

I'm assuming we aren't talking about me or you would have just asked me. Cheaters are akin to trolls. They thrive in the grief they create. Don't let them know you care and they will become bored and quit eventually.

Bingo.  I put this as the #1 reason in competitive online games.  They are griefers doing it to get their kicks off making other players mad.

  #2 reason would be to earn something (an item/title) they can't earn without hours and hours (and hours) of gameplay.   See this more in MMO type games than in a sports or shooter.

Hey Everyone!

I wanted to drop in the thread really quick, we are unable to assist with reports of players who may be breaking our fair play rules here on Answers HQ.

• Please see our Forum Rules & Guidelines. 

If you do come across someone else who may be breaking our terms of service be sure to check out our EA Help article on how to report them to the correct team! 

• Report players for cheating, abuse, and harassment

From there they will look into the report and take the appropriate action if needed. as there is no additional information or support we can offer on AHQ I will be closing this thread. 

Thanks for reporting!
