I finally figured out why I got banned

I downloaded my apex legends data, after searching for anything out of the ordinary I checked my login data and there it was, several logins from London of all places. Someone was using my account or something and I got banned for it I don’t know how to reverse this or to get unbanned I have proof but idk if that’s enough. I’m going to submit another appeal and let you guys know how it goes.

  • I'm going to let you know I'm a skeptic I don't believe this not even for a single second. Like if you had someone on your account, whether you let them play on your account and they were cheating on your account or whether some random person that you've never met never talked to never knew hacked into your account, which in reality isn't as likely as people actually think considering the significant security for account protection because if they don't have that they can be sued. The other thing is that if you don't have two-step verification, that's on you so your band should be permanent regardless. But considering boosting has been a serious problem and people just account sharing and letting people play on their account so they can get boosted and then those players cheating on their account and then they get banned and then they come here and act like they don't know why they got banned. I personally think that you should stay banned. And if you really weren't you know just make another account but and then if that account gets banned. Then clearly you were doing something that you weren't supposed to. Like I don't feel sympathetic to this at all. I've played this game for 7 years and I've never copped a band.

    Why would I risk my account I’ve been playing since 2019 and have almost a thousand hours and several hundreds dollars on? If I wanted to cheat or hit a stupid rank I would just use a alt, and you saying “I’ve played this game for 7 years and never copped a band” is pretty telling of who you are considering how large of a problem false bans are in the apex community. I mean even streamers get false banned sometimes with no proof and the only reason they get unbanned is because they have a platform, boosting is pointless if you can’t compete at the level you have someone get you to then the game becomes unplayable and it defeats the purpose of getting better at the game. I’m not looking for sympathy points especially from you, I’m venting frustration to EA and looking for assistance on a issue many others in the community are having if you think every single person having this issue or at least most of us are “boosting” or “deserve to be banned” for little to no reason then you don’t care about other players or the health of the game you only care about having fun for yourself.

    Just because you asked, why would you risk your account doesn't mean that you wouldn't risk your account. It's basically just a projection claim to shift suspicion off of you. Just make another account if you weren't really cheating because at the end of the day it's your fault for not having two-step verification on your account preventing anybody from ever getting access and if you had to step verification then you clearly gave your account credentials to someone. And someone could have gave your account information to somebody else. Or you gave your account to information to someone. I personally think that your account should stay banned. I personally think that your account should stay banned. And if you really weren't cheating, just make another account. 

  • I've played this game since it came out. I've played this game for 7 years and I've never coped a band. You were either doing something you weren't supposed to. Somebody else was doing something they weren't supposed to on your account. And there's no way for somebody to get into your account. Unless you give them access. Even without two-step verification, it's extremely hard. May the good Lord forgive you if you're lying lest he strike you down. The last time there was any kind of account breaches was back when there was a breach in the servers. Ever since they patched that little issue, it's not really easy for people to get to access to your account unless you give them access. Nobody's stupid

    And again, even if you're innocent, you should not be on ban. Just make another account and if you were cheating then you should be banned for ban evasion and never be allowed to play these game again

    Hi ToxlcLegend​ ,

    Sorry to hear that, but thank you for sharing the update.

    If you’ve found login activity that doesn't match your own, submitting another appeal is definitely the right next step. Please include as much detail as possible, including the suspicious login information and any other evidence you found.

    If you believe your account may have been hacked, I’d also strongly recommend taking steps to secure it as soon as possible. This article may be helpful to you.

    Thanks again for the update.
