Aside from legal action I dont have any. Mass bannings without clear explanation is very suspect way to operate....though probably the cheapes/easiest. Bot flags behavoir, a few sets of eyes glance at them and you live or die....as the eyes get more tired, the more arbitrary the descion.....scary thought.
Wish I nver saw this thred actually, as now every little glitch ( and we all know there tons of em) make me nervous if I'm going to be caught in the next wave. I've had several glitches happen to me such as die, fall though the map and land with full health at the starting point but I dont know how to trigger it on demand...nor do I want to...not solely for fear of th ban hammer...but in princapal....first, if I cant succeed doing things legit...I'll either improve or quit.
On a side note if cheating is this rampant, why dont they do like Rockstar did with Max Payne 3....and bannish cheaters to cheater only servers and let them do as they please there....that way they can still play at least.
legal action would just line some legal eagle's pockets, its part of the ToS that you cant sue them for anything relateing to the game.
the banning system does seam to leave a lot to be desired, and as for nieavety, how would you know if a game is credit hacked when you receive just a few more credits per game than normal considering that they fluctuate from 12k to 18.5k on bronze, 23k to 38k for silver, most i had in a gold so far was 79k and plat i only played 5 matches that completed, but really since the system calculates on the fly what your going ot get its not exactly possible to know its a dodgy game, sometimes i stay in lobbies wiht people because things are going well (were workign as a team and finishing the game) i have no idea if someone is credit hacking because the stupid system always gives a different ammount as a reward, it doesnt even seem to matter how good or bad you do, weather you use all your consumables or none, solo'd a bronze match using everything and earned 17.5k soled one useing nothing (different char/loadout) and earned only 12.5k but hey ho i know i wasnt hacking in either yet i got different rewards for them both
unless i get more than 20k for bronze more thna 40k for silver more than 90k for gold more than 140k for plat i'm not going to be aware someone is credhacking.
if bioware were that serious about this sort of thing they would of changed the game so it gave a fixed prize based onthe number of rounds completed regardless of awards during completion (which they dont) they would also add some kind of game guard system, instead they just interogate logs which are flaged by there database miner and investigate/sanction en-masse, thats fine for console players but pc gamers can be protected in a variety of ways simple things like punkbuster which would auto eject someone who's "legit" from a dodgy game, and flag the host as "dodgy"
and the whole guilty by association thing is a bit of a stretch unless your playing every match wiht the same people day in day out, using a delination of more than 2 games is rather poor especially as origin is such utter junk it causes 90% of the lag induced glitches experianced in games.......
