The following sent 16th April 2020
I keep raising concerns about the increase levels of cheating/hacking within Star Wars battlefront 2 on "battlefront-forums.ea.com".
All post about cheating keep getting taken down and today I noticed other people are having there post about the same issue removed.
The problem in the game now is completely out of control and I have the following concerns which I have sent to EA_Tom.
I have the following concerns/questions:
1) The damage being done to the reputation Star Wars Battlefront 2, DICE, EA and Disney.
2) Why when people have but so much time and effort into creating the game, then this issue not taken more seriously?
3) Are the moderators correct in closing cheating issues off early?
4) Due to the way the moderators behave I wonder if they use cheats/themselves.
5) I feel the moderators are looking to kill the subject and intimidate users from raising these issues.
6) I am starting to feel like EA is not concerned about cheating.
The only thing we need is a good 3rd party software like punkbuster (I'm a Battlefield Veteran) that gets regular updates and deals immediate punishments, end of story.
Anything else is pointless, especially in a game that has no private servers.
Because you know, videos about cheaters could always possibly be forged or "taken out o context", also the date of incident might be incorrect and the username of the player was changed in the meantime. Or someone could just create an account and fake a target's username with capital I and minor L letter trick and thereby blackmail him while using a cheat.
Videos that players record themselves will never be taken as waterproof evidence for game devs for this reason, so no chance to get a global ban issued this way.
This is only a thing for games like Battlefield where admins of private servers have all rights to say who is allowed to stay on their specific servers or not.
