Got randomly banned.

I got randomly banned, apparently I was using a cheating software, which I didn't do nor plan to use one.

I really haven't cheated nor plan to cheat on this game. I despise cheaters, why would I cheat?

I only have 1 and only account, I don't "try hard" for ranks (just staying in silver-platinum), doing daily quests until my battle pass gets maxed out, also, my record/s weren't stellar, I got low k/d/a ratio, average damage/kills. I usually plays solo. I usually push solo too, and causes my team to lose. I often make bad in-game decisions.

I also stream sometimes my gameplay on youtube and twitch. (youtube.com/@eienkurisuki)

I quit pubg and played apex legends instead, being a good player that doesn't do illegal things, and don't have much friend/s to play with, and I still get banned? Maybe i got teamed up with a cheater that I wasn't aware of, why would I get banned for it? Was it my last game? Played rampart and randomly firing sheila from far away? Of course I'll do it because I have unlimited ammo/reload when sheila is deployed.

The only thing I did on my client was having english and japanese pack on my client. My client has english text with japanese dub. I put "+miles_language japanese -dev" in my launch options.

It's saddening to get banned on a game you're playing.This is my first time getting banned in an online game. I haven't even get vac banned on steam, and seems like EA is firm that I cheated. If my account ban will not get lifted, I guess thanks for the memories and letting me experience the game.

    The exact same thing happened to me 3 days ago. After 2000 hours of playtime and almost $2k in cosmetics since game release I got randomly banned for "account involved in cheating". My KDA has always been around 0.6. It's end of season – I was only playing casual game modes to finish up the season & the event. No ranked, no BR, nothing serious or competitive, no amazing performances, nothing. I like fair matches. Getting my longtime account banned for "cheating" is quite frankly ridiculous.

    And what do you know, every response that you get from support is the same canned nonsense that everyone else gets. No actual oversight, communication or transparency. No actual investigation of anything. Just boiler plate statements that might as well be written by an AI.

    You have no recourse. 4 years, 2000 hours and 2000$ down the drain because the billion dollar company doesn't respect its customers.

    One of my friends had the only reasonable take on it: "that's why I mostly don't buy in-game stuff for real money – you don't actually own the stuff".

    Lesson learned. Don't pay for things that you have no control over, and don't put your trust in companies with worse service than Verizon or Comcast.
