Refuting the Wrongful Bans on Fair Players in Apex Legends
Dear Apex Legends Officials and Community Members,
As a long-term fair player, I feel compelled to strongly refute the recent wrongful bans affecting myself and many others. Below is my personal experience and feedback regarding the current ban and appeal system:
1. Wrongful Ban and Ineffective Appeals
During my two-month ban, I submitted over ten appeals but never received a response from an actual representative. Every reply was an automated template rejecting my appeal, leaving me with no fair opportunity to explain or defend myself.
2. Unclear Ban Reasons vs. Actual In-Game Data
I have never been informed of any specific reason for the ban. My gameplay data — including a low KDA and normal ranked progression — shows nothing abnormal or indicative of cheating. The stated reasons contradict my in-game record.
3. Deficiencies in the Anti-Cheat System
Apex’s anti-cheat system continues to fail in identifying and removing real cheaters, such as those using rapid-fire Sentinels or unnatural movement speeds. Many offenders evade timely or repeat bans, which degrades the competitive environment for fair players.
4. Loopholes in the Store and Currency System
The in-game economy is also plagued by issues such as black-market coins, unauthorized gifting, and even negative currency balances. Despite personally spending nearly $1,000, I’ve seen accounts with large negative balances remain unbanned. This inconsistency is deeply concerning.
5. Crisis of Trust in Automated Processes
It’s difficult to trust the accuracy of Apex’s automated systems when the same infrastructure struggles with rampant DDoS attacks and fails to promptly detect actual cheaters. The assertion that I used illegal software seems unsubstantiated given these evident flaws.
Conclusion
I urge Apex officials to conduct a thorough review of their anti-cheat and appeal processes to prevent wrongful bans, improve the detection of real cheaters, and rebuild trust within the player community. I sincerely hope that my case and others like it will be re-evaluated fairly and transparently.
