Hi ali_offline,
I'm really sorry, but the only way of having a ban reviewed is through the appeal process that you've initiated already. It's not something that can be done or escalated here, unfortunately.
You could try contacting EA Help through help.ea.com to ask if they can give any update, but I'm not sure how much they'll be able to see.
It'd probably be worth seeing if you can get a refund for the second copy you purchased. Since your linked EA account is currently banned, you won't be able to unlink your Steam account from it.
My EA account is actually in good standing and I can play my other titles without issue; the ban is exclusive to BF6. I previously tried the 'REDSEC' and was banned because I had reWASD installed on my PC. Completely forgetting about that restriction, I recently purchased the full game on Steam, only to find I'm still blocked and unable to get a refund.
I’ve found EA Help to be unresponsive, as they simply provide links stating that reWASD is flagged as a cheating tool regardless of whether it was actively used. It’s frustrating because EA wasn't transparent about this from the start. If they chose to treat legitimate software as a cheat, they should have implemented a warning within the EA App or in-game to disable it before launching.
Instead, they banned players first and explained the reason later. While the game now prompts users to disable it in order to play, that fix came far too late for the many players who had already been permanently banned.
