Goodbye EA franchise , played since 1994

Been transfermarket banned, after playing Ultimate team sice 2015 on playstation and changed this year to PC. Never had a suspicion or a hint of suspension since. I play all game mods (for rewards/coins) and do occasionally some trading flips of some players that i tried, not that bulk trading the we see some pll do.

Last week I bought a Ginola for 450k, and see that a few minutes later, he had a rarity spike and go for 539k and i sell him. As i wanted him to play in the weekend I watched his price for the next hour, AND SOMEONE LISTED 4 GINOLAS on min bid and max buyout!! I shorted listed all four of them of course, and try to bid on them all. I ONLY WON 1 OF HIM for 389k, the other 3 went for less i think, but the companion app was dificult to bid war on them.

Later that day I received a market ban, after two appeals, they said confidently that I was transfering coins!! I HAD 3.000.000 coins that i was saving for TOTY that i earn mostly from playing the game, since day ONE, most of my team is untradable, first owner!! The coin total has been built slowly since day one, NO MAJOR SPIKES (PROVES THAT I DONT BUY COINS), coin total ALWAYS WENT UP gradually (PROVES THAT I DONT SELL COINS)

Conclusion: WHY I RISKED 3M coins with for a 75k proffit?! I dont think the coin seller even sell that small amount of coins!! ITS JUST COMMON SENSE!! Even if I got that Ginola from a suspicious acount its easy to see that was unintentional, just bad luck.

This major layoffs and IA driven methods of banning will raise the amount of false positives, making long playing fans, like me and they family and friends leave the franchise

GOODBYE, leave here a pick of the team I build from playing everyday, doing game modes/SBC´s and EVOS with that cursed ginola, even was saving the fifa points of pre order for the season pass

  • Don't stop with future FC games, but EVERY future EA game. That's my plan. I only bought this one because of the world cup hype. This game has been a complete disaster.

    They claim that they ban coin farming "to protect the integrity and competitiveness of the game." I guess that's code for "we don't like it when others are cutting into our fat profits." They just want you to buy from them and not others.

    If anyone is doing any shady dealings in the transfer market, it's EA. I packed a tradeable Valverde a some time ago. He was selling for 100k-130K coins. I held onto him because I wanted him in my team. I recently packed an untradeable version recently. EA set the max buy it now price to 90K coins. I had planned to buy FC points before TOTY, but now I think I'll just take my chances with the meager rewards from game modes.
