So i bump into this Achuang guy, literralys takes down all my team snapshotting a longbow (had over 20 kills on his own).
I look him up on Origin and he has 154 accounts....
EA, perhaps a more effective system to ban cheaters and avoid them coming back?
Thanks....

Hey @kartikins, @kartikins
The name & shame rule is a general rule used by more forums and company's for example: Blizzard, Jagex.
They don't want to start a witch hunt or promote public shaming.
I stand behind this rule even with proof, there is no place for this on AHQ
If someone is cheating, he should be reported with the in-game tool or to EAC
The player will receive action taken towards his account when reported correctly.
AHQ is a place to ask questions or to share tips and tricks, not shaming others.
If you disagree with this rule, i recommend talking to a EA Community Manager.

Hey there!
Please don't name & shame on the forums please.
This against the AHQ Rules and guidelines
If you suspect someone of cheating please use of following methods.
Client side reporting: Report the player with the in-game tool.
EAC Site reporting: Fill in all details on the EAC Site - Report a Cheater.
Getting killed by a cheater is not fair and could be frustrating.
They are permanently looking to improve there cheat detection systems.
Every report will be reviewed and is taken very seriously.

Maybe you should change AHQ Rules then... so long as nobody is being doxed with real names/addresses I don't see the harm in publicly shaming proven cheaters.
Everyone knows cheat reporting doesn't work, it's just a bs system put in to stop people feeling powerless and make them feel like something is being done... there's simply too many idiots who will report players out of frustration who are simply better than them. Like Shroud said, you need an anti-cheat that actually works, and with a FTP game, unless you actually hardware ban cheaters they will simply come back an hour later on another account.
And EAC reporting is messed up anyway... what the hell does "ammo was unusual" actually mean?! Instead of bullets his gun was shooting Oreos?!
Like everything else with Apex Legends, Respawn were forced to do the anti cheat on a shoestring budget, hence why they simply dumped EAC in there as a quick simple solution rather than developing tailored system for the game.
I come across blatent cheaters 2-3 times a day now, and add to that the "maybes" (players I couldn't spec in combat or maybe who toggled off when being specced) there is a lot of cheating in Apex... a LOT.
EAC is clearly NOT working to protect the community.

Post a link to the video ot them cheating people can make up their own minds then.

Huh? Why? How on earth is that going to help?

I have met this AChuang guy many times too with different series of numbers at the back, cheating every game and I have been reporting him while Respawn has done NOTHING.

Surely EAC is has a rather large list to deal with as to howmany cheaters get on here, Locking Mainland China and Russia to the Hongkong server and denying a VPN connecting would clean things up and lower server loads.

Your response is absolutely not satisfying.
This ACHUANG guy had 154 accounts.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOUR accounts.
He goes by ACHUANGxxxxxxx where the Xxxxx is different number in each account.
It is NOT name and shame that is needed here. it is a proper ban and putting him on a WALL OF SHAME that you should host.
I can understand that a kid cheat once. But you had banned this guy 153 times and this was his 154th attempt.
And the irony is I've bumped into him AGAIN today and i looked him up on origin. He's probably at his 200th account now.
Make your bans permanent. These guys are ruining the game and making people leave Apex for good.
Thanks.

Just a Badluck at it again.

@Zeelmaekers The Rule Should be Changed & Must Allow to Shame Proven Cheaters ( with Video Proof ) which clearly show they are cheating BTW in game Nickname do not reflect Real life names
