An ordinary player's confession after being banned for no reason

Let me briefly introduce myself. I came into contact with this game in Season 9. Until now, I have played for more than 3,500 hours before being banned in Season 25, and I have also invested nearly $2,000. I love this game very much. When I came into contact with it, I felt that it was different from other games, which is why I am willing to invest so much time and money in it.
I am also improving my skills little by little, from the gold at the beginning to the first pread rank when I played 2,000 hours in Season 19. I also participated in CC competitions with my friends, which is the algs qualifiers we are familiar with. Although I didn't advance, it was also a good memory.
But all this ended today. On April 15, 2025, I received an email from EA informing me that I was banned for cheating, but I haven't even logged into the game this season. I have witnessed the prosperity and decline of Apex with my own eyes, but even so I still love this game, but now my loyal fan account has been banned and I don't know how to support it anymore.

    The only reason I’m asking about the mesh is because it’s a unit plugged into my router on the first floor, with one unit plugged into the second floor (via outlet) and one in the attic where my set up is. On the back of these units you can plug an Ethernet into, which I could connect my set up for a stable connection or use WiFi. But the WiFi is a separate “profile” from my router if that makes sense. It’s not an extender it’s a whole different “network” piggy backed off my home router. 

    home WiFi name: generic Fios jibberish and password 
    mesh network name: custom name and password 

    My boyfriend and I (who both use the mesh) got the hammer within a week or two apart.

    RealSwtpotatoTTV​ Interesting setup, but as I've mentioned, I don't know if that would get you flagged or not. 

    For the connection I was on, I was outside the router's range by about 15 feet, so I had to use the extender to get it to reach where I was.

    It's not your mesh network. Mesh is just another form of WiFi and EA nor the Apex game have anyway of knowing what type of network you're on. 

  • Honest players who invest (time and money) get banned without letting justify themselves, and if they do, they get disregarded by EA.

    However, hackers will EASILY get away with their toxic shenanigans, and let voice chat abusers (swearers, downgraders, non-English speakers on English channels etc.) live their days cuz they have NO WORKING systems to prevent these.

    EA is tragic at best, and we keep on playing because the game (at base) is good. Any improvements/ changes are usually for the worst. ''Well, ItzzzTimmy is not complaining since we're paying him money, so we guess the game has been peak since it came out.'' as they ignore EVERY major complain about the game from the larger player base.
