The new victim here. Been playing one Control mode with 16 bots in the lobby; I did it for 5000 damages, then was banned permanently. Shocking that my effort, time and money just gone by killing AFK bots
The fact that there's a bunch of people here with the exact specific ban confirms there is a bug with easy anti cheat or with the game yet nothing is being taken into action.
This is absurd.
I think the anti-cheat is working as we deal maybe too much damage. But it doesn't ignore that EA did nothing to double-check that they banned the right person. I have started playing since season 6, and I think it's time to quit, as they banned my account. There are just other games worth playing, and they won't ban you for things I have not done. I am totally disappointed with this company.
My guess is it has a limit on damage/kills because your supposed to be filled with other real players.
In my case I had 28 kills and 8000dmg in team death match and I got banned mid game.
My lobby were filled with afk bots so I just wanted to get the match over with but got punished instead...
But yeah EAC is such a * anti cheat.
No wonder they keep getting these massive false ban waves recently (talking about the steam deck false ban awhile back)
Been playing since season 0 with lots of skins and heirlooms and it's all gone...
Some say they allow these bots in the game because they can keep the number of people playing Apex higher. I am considering it true. LMAO
Hey. I filed a second appeal, and they just unbanned my account, saying there was suspicious activity in my account. But at first, they claimed that I was cheating... LMAO. Still, I won't spend that much time on this game now, I am just afraid that they will ban my account again for no reason in the future. If you could appeal again, make sure you attach proof showing that you spent money in the game. I attached my heirlooms and skins; it might sound silly, but it might actually work. Good luck, man.
Nope I've sent like 10 appeals now and my first one was full of screenshots of my account and heirlooms even receipts.
AND the forums and reddit posts regarding this issue and all they said was "we did all investigations and we took the right action by banning you due to cheating"
Now it basically sends me a bot reply of the same thing...
EA detection mechanism makes me speechless, this kind of thing can not understand
I could only wish that they will have a big update in this coming revenant remake and unban people, that is just unfair.
They probably won't.
They don't even want to acknowledge that this specific issue exists.
I still don't understand how you can get banned for reaching high dmg/high kill games in tdm.
It's totally possible to get 20+ kills by yourself.
I've seen pros break records in mixtapes.
Even without the afk bot issue this ban is beyond ridiculous.
Your telling me after investing tons and tons of hours and money into your game and grinding out ranked and pubs to get better at the game there's a chance that I can get banned?
The only reason why I got a 28 kill 8000 dmg game is because of afk bots anyway and 2-3 players in the lobby that just press W for whatever reason...
The worst part is I bought apex coins in preparation for Valkyrie prestige skin so my account is banned AND it's got 16000+ coins just sitting there waiting to expire...
Don't think I've ever screwed so hard by a anti cheat/developer this hard lol
I don't think this game has an anti cheating system. There are too many plugins appearing in the rank, and they don't care. EA's anti cheating only works in strange and meaningless places，I was banned without doing anything, and I cannot lift my ban through appeal. EA's customer service is like a personal computer, and their professional team won't even look at what you say. They will only answer that your account did cheat, which is the worst anti cheating and worst I have ever seen
Yeah the random account bans are incredibly frustrating. One of my friend experienced the same thing so they had to create a new account and the new account has not been banned.
So many posts about random unjustified account bans. It's insane
Got no issue with my new account too with the same setup and background apps lol
What the hell is going on with the anti cheat.,,
Bro really ask innocent people to provide evidence for crimes they haven’t committed. Otherwise you won’t get your account back.☠️
Same here I got banned on july 10 and made a new account and it's been fine.
No issues whatsoever except for their horrible servers
