As title says, the player base seems pretty small (or at least I bump into the same people over and other again in Europe), so despite some great players the same old ugly heads keep on turning up in lobbies and in game where people have dropped for one reason or another.

 

I've no real issue with the low levels trying to poke their head into perilous or any of that, but repeatedly never moving in threatening games from start to finish, or shoving on god mode and infinite fade-steps in perilous spoils the game for others. I tried reporting one last week via Origins, but do the Avatars even use the same IDs, and since I've bumped into that one two-dozen times since then, I'm guessing it's not a priority for the devs, but it should be.

 

If BioWare is watching, the kick tool in game is a nice idea, but it seems only the sorts of players who tend to read the forum even know about it, it's very hard getting consensus when the mics are garbled/not on/language dependant. And even when they do get kicked, they'll only troll another lobby, so it's really only the devs that can stop them before they destroy the playerbase.

There are a couple of fairly common bugs where players can

zone in and have limited ability functions, but no ability to move

outside of ability actions.  The only resolution I know of when

something happens along those lines, is to leave the group.

The in-game kick tool is there when necessary, that's a good thing.

 

MEMP auto-kicked when AFK for 2 minutes, I don't know if that mechanic exists here.

Perhaps it should.

 

The issue of an leech or cheating is to prove it.

It is also possible that some players may be accused of cheating when they are in fact playing really well with unique weapons.

 

I'm not convinced that BioWare want to be a police force.

I think they would prefer the mechanics of DAMP and the other players to have the facility to keep the game clean.

 

But there is certainly a case for some reporting process.

It does not. I've done solos where in between zones, I've walked away and done something like eaten dinner, come back, and continued on with the solo.

Given Bioware's history with ME3MP on PC, I don't think reporting makes much difference. Scripters in particular would always get a free pass. I don't see DAMP being any different.

As for the community being so small, it has to do to the fact that it is divided and region-locked. Silly decision by Bioware. If you are always coming across the same names while playing from Europe, imagine those like me who play from third world regions.
However, since the community isn't going to get any bigger than it already is, I hope the region-lock matchmaking will be lifted one day.

A public lobby would be a better AFK timer test. ME3MP didn't AFK auto-kick in private lobbies either.

Tha would greatly depend on how passionate Bioware becomes about a specific cheat/exploit. For example: How many were banned or reset from rocket-glitching?

I don't know, I play on PC. But would assume not enough players were punished for rocket-glitching.
I don't know of anyone being punished on PC for having hacked millions of credits, which is pretty weird, since the only reason I could imagine for the game being up for so long was exactly it's cashing potential via RNG.
Instead, Bioware had a beef with harmless exploits, such as closing the "Camping Room" next to the basement on Glacier.
I think we can all expect the same level of service this time around. That's obviously while being optimistic.

I think it was more like a beef with stale gameplay and keeping things interesting. New Glacier is one of the best maps, imo.

Really? I had no idea.
