People being AFK and farming credits

Question

I've been encountering more and more people who are afk and bypass the system simply by weighing down their w key, or connecting a controller and using rubber bands. It's getting so bad right now that I get at least 1 of them every match, and in gamemodes like HVV, having a team that is just spinning in circles is really unplayable. Not just because I lose, the enemy team doing it is just as bad, it ruins the game for everyone. There needs to be a fix for this very soon, or I'm really not sure if I'll ever touch this game again because its so annoying to get those people, and I play the game to relax, not to end up moody after a game. Please EA, try to fix this in the near future. Thanks.&nbsp;

I have seen many AFK players in the last couple of days. They jump regularly and walk only forward straight into the wall. It was pretty frustrating to see that one of them was lvl&nbsp;51 on a trooper class, which is probably the results of major credit farming.

Dear devs, you simply HAVE NOT fixed AFK Farming on PC. Many people are still using macros.

Why cant you just remove the free points handed out for sitting in a game?

its absolutely baffling this simple solution hasn’t been implemented.

‘Just wow.

Answer

I've Said this many times beforeMicrosoft and Electronic Arts are both responsible for keeping these "Cheaters, Exploiters, Credit Farmers, etc" online and not banning them. Still to this very day, cheaters from SW: Battlefront I are still "online" and playing! Over 100+ xbox players who I personally caught cheating are still not banned. And social media such as YouTube, Twitch has spread "How to cheat at Battlefront II, How to farm credits with Battlefront II, etc..I get the short stick every time landing in a game where one or all the character's" jumping aimlessly at the spawn location, or constantly circling with heads in the air. Whatever repetitive action the controller is performing due to "the rubber band" effect or other "mechanical" feature the xbox ea player is doing, it is absolutely WILLFULL!Watch any character being played that just does circles with his weapon up in the air&nbsp;like one I caught&nbsp;xBox member Sheriff Sprike.&nbsp;The player Sheriff Sprike earns points by cheating than a normal active participating player.&nbsp;NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING FOR THE 100+ CHEATERS STILL PLAYING.
