Mad props for all the work you put in bud. Takes a lot of effort to record, grab game reports and submit tickets.
It’s tough with the number of players cheating and the energy it takes plus the slow processing times on EA tickets right now.
I think you and @Rogue-N9 have done a great job on educating on esp. I have went into more recent games where I think your numbers can be more like 5-6 in a match using it.
We get the satisfaction of seeing a few banned accounts, but sadly on the PC with bfv it’s a drop in the bucket.
It’s nice to see a cause and action statement even if you can’t control the result rather than just some of the mindless rants sometimes making their way in here.

Thanks, I appreciate it. The gaslighting, as you can see, is bad.

Gaslighting - Wikipedia
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or a group covertly sows seeds of doubt in a targeted individual, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment, often evoking in them cognitive dissonance and other changes such as low self-esteem.

Here are a few gems from the old BF5 thread:

hawkseye17 I hate to admit it but there are cheaters in this game currently

Until I see that cheating is happening I’m not going to believe it is happening

al3xdas0ul I hate to admit it but there are cheaters in this game currently

Haven’t seen a single cheater in all my hours in game.. barly any in battlefield 1 either… I think a lot of the blame in this game is the bad TTD (netcode issue)

jezzzeh I hate to admit it but there are cheaters in this game currently

I can hand on heart say I haven’t seen a single overt cheater yet.
Not saying they are not there in some form but none of the Insta headshot from 800 yards with the a pistol types.

ueberladung I hate to admit it but there are cheaters in this game currently

I’ve got nearly 50hrs on record and did not see a single cheater. Maybe there was one here and there but nothing obvious. I honestly think OP is just a real noob xD. Sorry

paulocosta I hate to admit it but there are cheaters in this game currently

After +10,000 hours playing bf, since 2005 july with 34 battlefield purchased at launch, between games and dlc, there is no skill, skill = cheat.

Yes, you can be a novice or noob, but after years playing, you will be a good player, just it.

All I hear is “man I’m getting my butt kicked, these guys have to be cheating. I’m going to complain on the forums.”

I haven’t seen a single hacker yet ..

99% of time people call hacks; it’s simply dying to someone better than them.

Exactly. Like I mentioned in another QQ thread the other day, if you go onto the hacker’s forums there are countless ppl whining about being banned by FF. Yeah, you might come across hackers(i think I have once or twice but hard to tell without spectating)but I have faith they’re not lasting more than a game or two. My suggestion to ppl who aren’t used to online fps gaming yet, instead of blowing a gasket and getting high blood pressure, report and move to another server. It’s not like there are a bunch of hackers in BF5 atm. Nothing like CS used to be for eg. And know guys, there ARE many ppl much better than you, better hardware, internet etc. Plus the code is a bit wonky and lag/packet loss makes fps games do weird things sometimes. Also, people just don’t want to hear the freaking out and QQing all the time. Just know, most of us roll our eyes when we hear HACKER!!!OMG!!!1111

fairfight is as good as it’s going to get because we don’t see those players anymore. sure there are still hackers but they are trying to look legit to avoid fairfight ban. and those dumb hackers that go 500-1 immediately get the ban hammer.
