RE: Apex Legends BAN Illegal

I'm sorry I can't find my original posting where I complain about being accused of being a cheater.  Here is my latest posting on the matter.

The "auto" and "macro" functions are on the menu provided by Steam, the people I got the game from.  I was using the game as intended by the provider.  If AE didn't want people using the auto or macro functions of Steam they should never have let them put the game on the GeForce NOW/Steam game streaming service menu.  Their share holder share in the profits of these companies.  I had zero kills at the time of the ban and it's not like I was unwilling to change my game play, I was just fooling around with my controller.   EA won't even tell you why they are accusing you of cheating.  They just send you a form email and tell you to appeal if you disagree.  They just tell you to study the agreement.  If they deny your appeal enough time they close the case and you can't even start a new one. Just so a manager doesn't have to answer another email.  What are they, royalty or are they too gready to sacrifice their bonus and allow  another person to work on appeals to game bans.  The players are only human.  What fun is it to study the agreement when you get a new game?  Every controller made used to come with "auto" and "macro" functions.  Now you just stick to the menus and use common sense and try to enjoy yourself.

    Its all starting to make sense.  So it may have been an operator that found my game name of geek offensive and decided to report me as cheating.  Google says geek means a person with specialized knowledge.  Best Buy has the geek squad.  I've worked in IT and have heard the term geek thrown around loosely by managers of all people.  If you ask microsoft bing it reports that it used to mean a circus freek.  I don't like the term, its still insulting to some but you learn to live with it.  It seams you can't win.

    Hey @vl6gm8d38r05,

    To be clear, this action on the account was not because you were afk in the lobby, or due to your username being reported for being offensive.

    Neither of these actions would result in a ban or suspension for cheating as mentioned in your original post.

    If you've already appealed this multiple times and our Terms of Service team has declined to remove the penalty, that means they've reviewed our records of the situation multiple times and confirmed their initial findings will not be changed.

    As we cannot address these issues on the forums this thread is being locked here, thanks.
