This is 100% false information.

We've never banned solely based on stats or boosting in BFV. Never will either. We learned that lesson a long time ago and will never repeat it.

It's really easy to judge a person based on their stats. The common defense from players is always to post their battlefield tracker page but that never, ever gives the full side of a story. Unfortunately that's something we'll never be able to deep dive into as people will use any information we provide against us. What i will say is that while Fairfight applies the bans, don't for a second think we're not doing any work on the DICE side to catch cheaters.

Fair fight doesn't understand that and thinks your hacking/ cheating/boosting. Over 55 people have been permanently banned this week cause of it. And with EAs new policy (probably due to firestorm) they don't review cases anymore.

Source please. For both facts.

There isn't one, because it's not true.

Like going 200-0 with bossk

Public perception of how our anti-cheat functions and what it actually does will always be two very different things. If you knew how it worked, then so would the cheat developers. Kinda defeats the purpose at that point. :)

What are we meant to think? The public perception is that your systems just don't work.

That's a fair argument. I can say the majority of the time these people are already flagged for bans before it's even posted to Reddit. I can also say we've banned 70% more people in BFV then BF1 (time adjusted) on PC so far with zero sign of slowing down.

I know the community wants us to better surface information regarding bans. My hands are somewhat tied on this, but we are looking at the best way of getting this information out which will satisfy all parties, the community included.

I will concede though that I don't think we'll ever reach the point where you the community will be able to make an informed decision on how anti-cheat operates. As such, we'll always be in somewhat of a catch 22 situation here unfortunately.
