Epic Colleagues & Managers! Please, read this!

Like 500,000+ other dedicated Fortnite Competitive players around the world, we deeply love and value this game. It has created not only an entertaining digital environment for us, but also a kindling community enthusiastic about eSports and building game tactics.

However, especially during 2024 (Chapter 5) number of cheating Players in Fortnite Competitive (build & zero build) not even doubled or tripled - in every tournament numbers are shocking: from 10 to 30% of the lobbies are Cheaters using Aimbot, EPS/Wallhacks (DMA cards, etc). They stay undetected during the game and not-banned after. Even we, the majority of fair players, report them again and again.

When violations remain unpunished - they grow proportionally to the time of impunity! Responsibility for this lies with Epic Games.

Epic is not doing enough before, during and after Tournaments. We start to strongly believe that Epic is not doing anything because all official channels are not saying about this disaster problem, and When and How (step-by-step) they are going to fix it! 

But there are things to do and We/Community can help before, during and after Tournaments! 

Some measures below can reduce amount of cheaters drastically:

• Participation to the FN tournament should be prohibited to new accounts & accounts being inactive for several seasons - cheaters abuse newly created accounts/re-use old accounts after they are banned, sometimes. 
• Enthusiasts (sub-contractors or etc) can help to ban obvious cheaters during the qualification watching VOD or live-play of lobby. Hire people you trust and who have skills to detect cheaters because Anti-Cheat is not working against DMA.
• Make Bans serious - detected cheater can't play not only on this account but on this MAC address from any account used with this hardware
• Participation to the FN tournament should be allowed to the active & strong practicing players - 200+ level in the last 3-5 seasons, at least Elite/Champion/Unreal ranked. Players who just joined the game can only participate from these ranks and having practice of several seasons in Ranked/Creative/Pubs lobbies (50 solo wins at least)
• Tackle DMA issue - from legal point of view to software/OS. There should be solutions!

When we lose - You lose with us! (and not only financially)

Cheaters distort the competitiveness of the game, turning it into a frustrating and disheartening experience for genuine gamers who wish to enjoy the thrill and challenge of fair play in a competitive environment. We appeal to Epic Games to take stern measures ensuring an impartial and wholesome gaming experience for all. By swiftly identifying and banning cheaters, they can safeguard the Fortnite community, encouraging growth and regain the trust of disheartened members.

We insist that Epic Games act to prohibit cheaters from participating in Fortnite's competitive play. We invite all fair-play advocates, fellow Fortnite players, and justice believers to sign this petition and make our concerned voices heard. Together, we can pull our beloved game out from this mire of cheating and help restore an uncompromised entertaining digital space for all.

Please sign the petition now.

Thank you for your time!
