EA AI autobans are stupid

Are there any real people behind who bans players who spent $70 to play their game? Why without any real subsequential warning, my brother who works all week gets on Saturday, tries to play the game and is banned. It doesn't make any sense to just automatically ban someone for a whole WEEK without any prior record because of an "inappropriate username". He has owned an EA account for well over 8 years now with the SAME play on words "PeaToTheNut" as his username. Never once contacted for violation. Why not prompt the player in game and ask them to change their username before playing, instead of letting them walk themselves into a trap where they get automatically banned by an AI system? My brother's account is registered in America, it would make no sense why they would send out a Chinese warning unless NO ONE WAS behind it. Automatically banned on a Friday just to be let down for the weekend is a crazy shot the the balls. EA fix your sh!t and make this right

  • This is probably a Chinese player vpn'ing to US servers that reported the username and the Chinese branch is probably way more stricter and banned not aware you're in the US. That's about the only way i see this happening, definitely contact EAhelp about this. They also need to do something about all these people vpn'ing from distant regions, all it does is f up the servers, they need to region lock every continent.  

    You are in the US right? because you say registered? Otherwise if you're in Asia, it makes total sense and your brother never got reported.

    Well, i don't see anything wrong with the name, just a funny name, imagine getting offended by this.

    my friend "AlphadanRC" got banned by enhanced gameplay with kda 1:1 and normal gameplay we play legit 100% but this new Anti Cheat System can flag you by some reason and you loose your money your time.

    You can create a new post showing your frustration and sometimes EA deletes the post from the forum because there is really nothing you can do but wait for nothing. This company does not care about solving the problems that this new anti-cheat system is having with players who are not really cheating and are flagged and permanently banned.

    I don't know what these inept EA people think, that they'll ban you and you can just go buy another license if you want? Everything's fine, really. Their anti-cheat system seems to be working, but it seems to also be unfairly scourged by a lot of people who aren't cheating.
