PvZ Garden Warfare 2 Hackers spotted!

I could put the screenshots up here, but well.... they include NAMES 
. Even though the names will have changed again. And why is it okay to show screenshots in other threads (with names), but not when it contains a hacker?? - It might be random. It's just some personal "montage moment", isn't it??!
But maybe you've got a way where I can send you the images.
Obviously I can't edit my postings, so I have to make a new one if I forgot something. Sorry!
Just wanted to add: The hacker from yesterday was on the European server (PC) in "turf takeover", not "garden and graveyards". I play the German version, so I sometimes don't know the right names of English game modes. 
You're right. Its happening each and every day now! 
But how can this game be played without origin? I was never happy for the need to use it, but several games don't work without it. I especially hate the situation when origin is down, but you can't even play your games in offline mode (the ones that have it), because for that Origin first would have to run. I really don't understand that. I own games, can play them in offline-mode (like the Sims for example), but not without Origin running, even if I don't need the client. Without client the game doesn't run. So if we can't play in multiplayer cause servers are down, okay. We might switch to offline-games until servers are up again. But even THAT isn't possible with Origin. Why?
Those were the days when we could play offline-games without clients... 
In regard to the hacking business: Isn't that supposed to be the job of the specific game companies, like EA? Origin is only the platform they chose to let their games run (or NOT run, if servers are down once again). So EA or maybe even Popcap or others devs first must submit their information to EA, then over to Origin to get someone banned? It looks like a long line of inbetweens.
I always wondered what use it has to "report" someone in game when you're live watching a cheater at work (I tried, though). Without proof or pictures, how would some company know why someone was reported? It could be kids just reporting others for fun ("Hey, I got vanquished 10 times by this guy... Let's report him!"), and I fear this happens a lot. Who is to decide what report is something serious or "just kidding"?
Anyway, we meanwhile showed a lot of "hard evidence" in video or pictures, the company has names from various places with said evidence, but it hasn't changed a thing yet.
I don't think another client would change the situation, because hackers can easily find new ways. We just discussed yesterday how long they'll need until they are onto GW3 and present their hacks.
@kashmirees I don't know how to send videos. If you uploaded them somewhere, you could provide the link. I would be interested in watching as well. But maybe someone else knows of other methods about how to handle videos.
At the moment it helps to share pics, names and videos between us as players after providing them to EA. We cannot ban those guys, but we might be able to collect further evidence or just leave the game, if we see a certain name or some strange action. I didn't appreciate the whole game crashing to desktop because some freak liked to spawn dragon Z-Mechs. All your progress and money in turf takeover is lost then. The coins and the fun at least. At that point we already changed from European to US servers because of hackers, and after one or two peaceful rounds we ran into other hackers. Nice!
