Just Want to Share My Wrongful Ban Frustration
My last post got taken down by mods. Reason? They said I used AI to write it. Fine, then—I’m sitting here right now, typing every single word myself, just to get this off my chest. Nothing fancy, just want regular players’ struggles to be seen.
I don’t have anything against EA. Hell, I’m practically an FC die-hard—why else would I fork over real cash for the Ultimate Edition? Just to play the game a few days early. But here’s what happened: I made my account on September 18, played for maybe 7 or 8 hours (never even got to open the Transfer Market), and by September 19, I was locked out of every platform. They said I violated the User Agreement. I read that agreement, read the Fair Play rules—over and over. I replayed those 7-8 hours in my head a hundred times: just followed the in-game tutorials, did the basic tasks. My UT coin balance was barely over 10k. I didn’t trade a single player. I still can’t figure out what I did wrong.
What’s even more frustrating? Those gold-selling studios—you see them spamming WeChat groups and forums every day, selling UT coins left and right. How come EA’s “anti-cheat” never catches them? They’re the ones breaking the game’s fairness. But us? We’re the ones who pay for the game, play it straight, and get wrongfully banned. I submitted an appeal two days ago—crickets. No reply, no update. I even used a friend’s account to reach out, and all I got was cold, scripted garbage. Like I’m just some annoyance to brush off.
If I wanted to cheat, why would I bother paying for the Ultimate Edition? If I wanted to break the rules, what could I even do with just over 10k UT coins? I’m just a guy who wanted to play a game in his free time. How’d that make me a “rule-breaker”?
Mods, you can delete this post—go ahead. But you can’t delete the one-star reviews on Steam from other wrongfully banned players. You can’t delete the pages of “appeal ignored” rants on forums. You can’t erase the frustration of people who just wanted to play, but had that taken away for no reason.
EA, if you actually care about “fairness”? Look at us first. We don’t need apologies—we need answers. We need a chance to play the game we paid for, the game we love.
