It seems that origin doesn't give a damm about hackers

What is the point in paying for a  multi player game when origin doesn't give a dammm( rats arse)  about hackers or hack sites that blatantly advertise hacks for star wars battle front. This is the ...

    Heyho @19NLX78 @1---Yautja---1@Tuzy72@RektalSphincter@shade1968,

    We're using an anti-cheat called "Fairfight" and I can assure you that it's working fine and that our Terms of Service and Anti-Cheat team work hard to achieve a cheater/hacker free game experience. In the past I had several occasions where I encountered cheaters in games that were using Fairfight myself, and I was pleased by the experience with it. 

    If you should encounter a cheater, you can always report that player over this link: -> Click me! <-

    Cheers, 
    Val

It shouldn't be the genuine player's job to police the game.

EA/Dice need to raise their game. Even simple statistical analysis of kill to death ratios being absurdly high would turn up the most blatant likely cheaters. And lets face it, most cheaters are greedy selfish idiots with no self control so finding them shouldn't be too hard. Next would be to confirm the suspicion. Even I manage to get a high kill to death ratio some matches and I don't cheat.

The developers need to...

  1. Identify unrealistically high performers from the stats
  2. Establish beyond reasonable doubt, probably by watching them, that they are cheating
  3. Revoke their game license

Ban waves need to start now or the majority of honest players will simply move on to another game.

Your ideas are good and looking at game statistics should at the least create some type of investigation on EA's part, even to the point of joining the same server as the cheater and observing then banning. It was how we used to do it in our COD and BF servers a long time ago. Maybe EA does not want to offend the cheaters and hackers because they may lose out on the income of those 1% and are not worried about losing the other 99%. Doesn't make sense, but then again, EA quit making sense around 5 years ago.

Sad to say, but a lot of honest players are already leaving the game or telling their friends and family to not purchase the game or anymore EA products. The servers tend to stay empty a good amount of time. A good game that plays well and has some type of "Good" anti-cheat program tends to have servers full nearly 24/7. I find that a lot of the Battlefront servers tend are empty in the mornings and most of the afternoon. I know, because I have been trying to play as much as possible till my work vacation is over. This is really a disappointing situation.

This is the last EA product I will buy for my kids or myself. My son has not even started playing his Battlefront PC game yet, so I am going to take it back to the store and he can buy something else from someone else. Since I paid for the season pass, but nothing has come out yet, I want a refund of the season pass at the very least.

    Hey @shade1968,

    I may have phrased myself wrong, sorry. I meant that I was pleased with the experience that I was encountering a cheater that stayed in the game for 2-3 rounds and was banned permanently afterwards by the Fairfight system. 

    I really do understand your anger that cheaters are ruining a game experience but trust me, the Fairfight system and our teams are working well to minimize those experiences. But even though my colleagues are doing anything they can, we're just humans and we can make mistakes and every software or program is just as good as the people auditing it. That's a common thing in every online game and that's why every online game regardless of what publisher/developer etc. has a report function so that the players are able to report someone, too. 

    Cheers, 

    Val
