My game account was mistakenly banned, but EA ignored it.

My game account has been banned. I have contacted customer service, but it has not been unlocked yet. The permissions of the manual customer service are still insufficient, and she believes that my a...

Perhaps it's the fact you shot the bots that got you banned. False kills essentially.
There are a few who use bot servers as gateways to boost the account they are playing. Easy way to get 300m+ snipes and 30ks etc. Flawless 2 Chamionships. Kill Leader and Champion Win. All because the foes were just bots.
They don't need to be able to link you to the bots, as in most cases it's untraceable. The mere fact you shot the bots and got so many kills is all the evidence they need.
If I were in your scenario, I probably would have let the ring go down to final ring and then erased the remnants in the final ring. Effectively protesting the bots. Let the map kill them. Don't get absurd stats that would get me targeted for ban. That or take the 2 minute penalty until I find a match that actually has players.
If that's only BR, then play Mixtape. Avoid the ban bots and find players.

Personally, if I were head of EA, I'd deny access outside NA, except maybe in Europe. Purely for security reasons. Depending on network security in SA, might allow that too.

@Zulkiers
I saw you say “don't take the fun away from other players” in a previous topic somewhere, but why do you yourself say things that encourage other players to take the fun away from others, such as making it inaccessible except to NA players?
Don't you realize that your stance of not wanting to take away your own enjoyment but approving of taking away the enjoyment of others who have nothing to do with you is a very self-centered and selfish argument?

The problem of cheaters is serious, but to ban access from outside NA for security reasons is as outrageous as saying that you want to burn down the house because it is infested with cockroaches.

If you want to insist that people should not be deprived of their enjoyment of something that is relevant to their enjoyment, you should never say that it should be inaccessible to non-NAs, even if it is for security reasons.

What should really be done against cheats is to update security, update to the latest game engines, etc. to make it more difficult to use or develop cheats, not to restrict access or limit play areas.
