Auto ban logic needs fixing due to evos
Looking on here and on social media, I know there are many people that have had the same issue as me. Since Thursday (2nd Nov) I have been banned from the transfer market. I had no email in the spac...
Forum Discussion
Received the email from EA this morning saying their investigation has been done and the right decision was made and that I was selling coins. This is ridiculous. I'm not a trader and have not even had 1 million coins since launch. I simply took a gamble based on rumours of a cam evo. Bought 8 non rare golds for between 4 and 7k in case they met the criteria and went up in price.
If EA don't want people to make profit on the market, why do they allow mass traders to build up millions and post videos giving trading advice. I would possibly have made 10k profit maximum. I have played ut since 17 and never sold a coin or broke any rules. Feel totally let down by EA given the loyalty shown and hours I've spent playing the game.
How long did it take for you to get a response?
I raised the case on Saturday
Just raised a new one:
Hi there, I was banned from the transfer market just under a week ago. I raised case #159209752 thinking this was just a simple mistake and would quickly be overturned. I received an email today saying the decision taken was correct an I was apparently coins selling.
I bought 8 non rare gold cards in anticipation for a cam evolution. The prices were higher than they usually are because lots of people were pre-emptively getting cards to use in the evolution so demand was starting to overtake supply on the market. People do this kind of thing in the market all the time in anticipation of totw, rttko, rttf, otw... How is this any different? I have played ultimate team since 2017 and never had a transfer ban or sold coins. Why did I instantly get a ban with no warning or even communication before? This is not acceptable when I've paid for the ultimate edition every year for at least the last 4 years. I hope you will show some understanding and rectify this as a lot of loyal players are getting the same issue.
Evolutions was added this year by you and it seems as though you did not anticipate the affect it would have on the transfer market. The most popular cards meeting the evolutions criteria are going to max bin after minutes of the evolution been released. All people are doing is paying current market prices for these cards. People selling coins should be easy to spot but please look at my account and you will see I'm playing the game fairly.
I hope common sense will prevail here.
- @pesphill85 I totally get what you're saying. And, you're right that people take gambles on what cards might get a promo or be needed for an SBC, or whatever. But, that information is based on leaked information and it seems like its cheating because you know something that someone else doesn't and are exploiting it.
I think people are upset because EA are just starting to take action where perhaps before they didn't and the community thought it was ok to do so.
I'm not EA, so this is all speculation.
I'm sorry this has happened to you. And you're right, others definitely deserve it more than you and we have been asking EA to ban players who promote coins but it hasn't happened yet.
I hope they decide to show mercy and overturn your ban.
Good luck!@Izzy_FUT_DubsAgain this is just a cop out. There is loads of people banned for all type of things. Selling cards needed for EVO. Managers that go up. You can't ban people on speculation that consumer rights violation. Its why my letter of dispute reached EA legal office today. Yet everu EA Youtube partner has a coin purchasing advertisement. Also all these Traders and discord for traders and youtube traders I wonder if this keep blowing up if they start becoming Liable as well. I couldn't imagine if my son was to follow some youtuber advice on trading and seeing him banned for coin selling or buying falsley. The logic needs fixed because it is falsley banning loads of people and thats a problem.
