Anything I can do for a purposeful and malicious sniper?

Neither is the guy from your story. He's simply playing the game while you are posting on the forums to find support for your opinion, that he shouldn't.

if he's engaging me in combat and then idling just to prevent me from doing attacks, he's attempting to prevent me from playing the game, contrarian.

Isn't that a possible consequence of reporting people for cheating?

If he's actually sharing accounts with someone he actually should be banned. He claimed a situation that could only happen 1 of 2 ways. Either he lied about not being in the game when he replied to me twice and attacked a second time that first night, or someone else was on his account.
They can check IP's, I cannot. So my only recourse if I suspect someone of sharing accounts, is to report it.

How would you suggest I "prove" he had 2 people sharing the same account? I can't check IP's and there's no way he'd admit it to me if he was.

Allowed.

He's playing the game, ignorant.

I would suggest, that you didn't report the guy, then. I thought that was pretty clear from my previous comments. Apparently, I didn't put it clearly enough. I hope this is.

So... you were trying to stop not just one, but two people from playing the game? One of whom may not even exist. Also, that was the situation before he said anything. When something happen in game, either someone is online, or they are not. No, the smart course of action would be to be patient and actually check something properly, or even better, nothing at all. It's like someone commenting on Facebook saying they aren't logged in, there's no reason to say the accounts been hacked, whether it's the right person on the end or not, they must be lying, because they are. So what you have done is reported someone for cheating because they played the game sensibly but didn't tell you the truth (no obligation to) or roll over at your "polite" demand to leave you alone. Wonder why they took issue with any of that?

I see no problem with having someone banned for account sharing. You're just being contrarian.
and sensibly? No. Sensibly would be doing your fights near your own payout time to get the highest rank possible before payout happens, not hours before when you would more likely get hit backwards and end up with worse ranking.
Can't believe any of you are still arguing that this is a competition issue when he clearly stated it was personal.
He hasn't benefited from this at all.

Do you see a problem with false reports of cheating? You have no evidence of cheating. You just reported the guy because of your personal quarrels. You're just part of the problem with cheating. Your report delays LD's and Leviathan's investigations of real cheating.

and sensibly? No. Sensibly would be doing your fights near your own payout time to get the highest rank possible before payout happens, not hours before when you would more likely get hit backwards and end up with worse ranking.

Did you ever consider that the game can be played in different ways? That your way is not the only one? That different players have fun in different ways?

Don't worry. It's quite clear that it's personal for you.

1. He claimed he wasn't online when his account had activity. That's potentially account sharing. The only way to verify whether or not it is, is to have someone, namely someone at CG, because I don't have the tools to check myself, check what IPs were logging into the account. Only CG or EA can do this. It's not cheating but it is a violation of the TOS.
2. I consider more that you're just a contrarian seeking to make excuses for someone just because you personally don't like me.
3. Nah I don't care about the guy as long as he's not preventing me from playing. I'd have 0 problems with him playing smart and using his fights closer to his payout so that he performed better.
