I have been in many games where people are racist and cursing at me and pretty much anyoen they don't like, don't agree with, I don't want people to join a fun game and treat people like rotten meat.. Part of the main issue about this is the outreach and such will dwindle. I get it, it's a game about bounties and such. Someone has to over rule this ridiculousness. It doesn't help anyone at all to say "kill yourself" on the internet like I saw it happen today. One person gets really mad and just because I got Bangalore picked without chosing. He decides to throw a huge fit and curses and says he will do a number 2 on my chest and head. This guy gets really mad after I accidently pick it and he says he doesn't care and I was like "maybe we can trade?". Just to add a little humor....He keeps harassing me because I was like "dude it's a game you need to not take me that seriously i said it was an accident". He responds with ridiculousness and says "no this is not just a game" I'm like "dude get your priorities straight it's not worth dying over" he yells into his mic, he "*" someone in my family ....and on and on gets worse... But you get the idea. Not acceptable I even read this game was or is rated T......NO WAY? They can get away with that in a rated T game?!?!? Like don't treat a good game like a throw away, please this is a free game and a good game too. My ears hurt. It is just a game and he says to that: "No don't laugh at me it's not just a game!!". AFTER that he yells he's going to "*" someone in my family.
In another seperate game no more then 15 minutes later a different guy calls me the racist word, which.... we all know that one. Tells me to "kill myself"....He says a ton of curse words I cannot even remember all of them. He says all of this just because I don't drop right next to him and two of them die with them. I was actually on my way to revive them. At the moment I did not have a screen capture and I was rustling through my information to find how to log back in and accidently copied my email address over the screenshot. These comments are rated X. There is absolutely no reason that I shouldn't be able to report this. It an assault to good livelihood and nature directly. Most people would say "just mute them"...I don't know what to say to that, I feel on edge about most people now it's not a fun thing. All of this just to gain verbal ground? This stuff is like meant to hurt people's lives shouldn't be said to your enemies or anyone....I feel like I am now forced to bear a certain weight of theirs that they intentionally throw on me feels like being hit by a pillow with lead in it. Feels like they just want to be on a track of life and dependance but they won't want the good air it entails. Honestly this train of thought hurts my eyes I am doing my best to describe this situation. Like this is not a chem exam for verbal over dosing. It's made to be fun and have fun with team mates and cooperate and find common interests and this game is very rewarding but it somehow feels like it's cutting down people sometimes...Just a thought, "oh play a different game" trust me I play too many different games....This game is still great fun. Be sure I may add some verbal abuse screen shots if I can...up and coming guys...

Mute would suffice people are generally free to say whatever they like.

Fill a form here: https://help.ea.com/contact-us/?product=apex-legends. There's a sub-category to "Report concerns or harassment".
So far, that's the best solution I found. Don't pay too much attention to the stupid reply they'll send to acknowledge your report, because it is usually a template meant for hacking reports.

This is a joke right? From a troll? Who the hell writes this much? Just mute them. Or wake up, it’s gaming, it has always been like this. Shut up.
Asking to someone who's been stunned by verbal abuse (or other form of violence) from someone else to shut up is exactly why people want to report abuse in the first place.
By asking offended/victims to shut up, people who say such things are devaluing and downplaying their experience, their feelings and their thoughts.
Asking them to shut up is saying "your problem is insignificant and we don't care about what you are saying". Indirectly, asking them to shut up is to side with the assailant.

this game for some reason has the most toxic people in voice chat, never fails when they get knocked first then instantly turn into the most toxic arm chair quarterback ever.... it's going to get even worse now with the leave early penalty, thanks respawn...

They need to split servers between "social" and "competitive", because while I love the new tweaks they made to reduce quitters and increase the time between "dying" and "starting a new game", I definitely agree with you when you say that it could get worse pretty soon if they don't split the community soon enough. I played to Titanfall 2 in multiplayer (for the first time) and I noticed they split "social" and "competitive", which I think is a great idea!
