Random Ban?

I have no idea how to even start this post. I have played multiple EA titles across multiple platforms and have never once received a ban on any account for any reason. Then randomly today I try to log into BF6 to play escalation and breakthrough and it says my account has been permanently banned. I have never once used any cheat or modification software of any kind and am beyond confused. When I say this ban makes zero sense, it makes below zero sense. There are 100s of players who have exploited since launch and none have received a penalty this permanent. WTF is EA doing?

 

on top of this, they didn’t include any background on what specifically was flagged for the ban. I have no clue what could have even been the reason I was banned. Very upsetting for someone who has been playing battlefield since childhood. May have permanently lost a player.

    Yeah.. something similar happened to me in Arc Raiders..

    I was playing with a colleague from work last night and suddenly got kicked out of the game and permanently banned. I've never done anything on the xbox. I even dont know how to cheat or duplicate the items.. 

    The only thing is, I changed the controller from the vanilla xbox to the Gamesir G7 PRO zzz edition. And a few days later I got banned.

    Thank you very much AI anticheat Anybrain... you make the world a better place.

  • False positives can happen and I am not sure if they are taking them seriously enough
    It is better to let a light cheater get away than to ban an innocent due to a false possitive.

    I use an EasySMX X20 on pc for sports games. I normally have it connected but never use it for shooter games. Hopefully this didn’t cause the issue. How long did it take you to hear back from EA & did they reserve the Ban?

    That’s a great response if you don’t think about this at all and are a bit. (doesn’t clarify anything about why I was banned or the exact reason)

    The ToS team don't provide the full details, OJ_wasinnocent8​, as that information could be used by people to circumvent bans in the future. Due to this, they will only ever provide basic info, such as the ban reason. Unfortunately, all you can do is to appeal to them and hope that the ban is overturned. 

    However, I don't think your EasySMX X20 controller would have been the cause, as it doesn't seem to offer anything like macros, unless you were using third-party software with it as well (like reWASD, for example).

    There was no third party macro software or anything. EA has to issue a ban for a legitimate reason, and so far none has been provided. There is no legitimate reason for my ban 

  • Officially Licensed Status: Because the EasySMX X20 is not officially licensed by Microsoft or Sony, using it on those platforms through adapters can carry a slightly higher risk of detection by strict anti-cheat systems.

    Macro and Turbo Use: The controller features programmable back buttons and built-in turbo functions. Using these to automate inputs (like rapid-fire) in competitive multiplayer games (like Call of Duty) is against most games' Terms of Service.

    Your controller has built in cheats. Ban was legit if you had it plugged in on any platform.

    Yes it has a built in macro...Turbo which can be used as rapid fire in BF6
