Re: Suddenly banned for Cheating!

FYI. I downloaded Titanfall 2 about 2 days before I was banned. I might have not even played Titanfall 2 (on PC) until the day of the ban. It automatically links Steam to Origin for Titanfall 2. I never had Steam and Origin linked before. A lot of these bans are having something to do with Steam and I am even wondering if you can be hacked through Steam and the IP address won't show up in the EA data logs? I am also not buying this BS about passwords being cracked because there is such thing as number of failed attempts. It shouldn't matter if your password is crackable in 10^6 or 10^12

A lot of these bans are Steam related:

I think youre onto something. The possibility I was hacked by someone else also exists as I distinctly remember seeing myself as one of my friends a few days ago. Now it's completely gone. That said, whatever it is they better fix it soon. Cus this is genuinely annoying 

Dude I am so sorry this happened to you. That's horrible man. Genuinely, 2 months like this? The more I hear about these cases the less hope I have honestly. Its starting to reach a point where even when they do realise that this was a mistake I'm not going to be as interested in playing to begin with since I now know I'm going to wake up someday randomly and be told all my works gone and tough luck cus I cheated when I didn't. 

Thank you so much for the offer. I think I'll join up if I do go through with it.

Right now EA admitted to seeing Suspicious activity on my account so I'm looking into that to see if I can salvage my game. If by some miracle that's successful, I'll still join so please pass your club name for the time being. But honestly I'm not too hopeful. 

Thank you though! I greatly appreciate the kindness you've shown since I came here. 

I GOT IT BACK! I thought I'd lose this forever but my accounts actually back. Thank you so Much EA. I hope you have luck in catching hackers but PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CATCH THE ACTUAL ONES! that said, thank you very much everyone on this forum who helped and I hope you have luck fixing this as stolen accounts are really a problem.

I enabled Two step Verification the moment I could do so and now I'm going to be very very very very very careful about any updates regarding my activity on this account. 

I'm regards to joining your club, how can I contact you? Thanks again

Glad to hear!  It seems as long as they can tie it to a suspicious activity you can get it back.  Beyond that seems to be a no.

Yeah and the more I hear about it the more depressing the reality becomes. I truly agree with catching hackers but flagging innocent people alongside them is hardly a sustainable model. I just wish there was a better way to properly moderate this stuff and pinpoint hacking effectively beyond just a perma-strike and a "whompwhomp"message 

@nathanhcy If they still allow appeals, make a new ticket asking them to check if your account has perhaps been compromised, present any proof you can if you've noticed anything weird that would give that idea, perhaps new stats in sections you havent played and so on, then wait for sometime. For some reason,or maybe it's because I sent alot of appeals in a panic, they were back to me rather quicker than I'd expected and confirmed that my account had indeed been compromised. From there we went through a process, and after that was finished,I could play again.

@B3ntar sorry for the delay. Im abit of a hermit so I kind of lurk. I'll find that personal message though and shoot a request your way. Thanks again

@nathanhcyI hope so too mate! All the best with this and I hope they give you your account back! Honestly seeing how common this seems to be annoys me abit. I hope EA find a more definitive and effective way of pinpointing cheating amongst the random people caught in the crossfire
