MUT Ban

@airraidassassin 

That is something you can get banned for so I wouldn't recommend anyone do this.

I wasnt running farm accounts before i Got banned for no reason but since i was banned I had no choice but to use this method to rebuild the team that was stolen from me. I'm back up to a 98 overall team and hopefully wont be banned for no reason.

Maybe EA shouldnt worry so much about farm accounts and worry a little more about not alienating customers who have been buying their games since 1992. 

I was banned on March 5th, have filed multiple appeals and have heard nothing. What would you have me do? Rebuilding my 98 overall team without farm accounts would have taken me until June. 

I'm so glad the company I work for has ethics and morals and would never treat a customer in this way

I got banned for simply playing the game without an explanation. What exactly do I have to lose at this point? I read your ToS, followed it to the letter. I sent a certified letter to your legal department with the heading "Notice of Dispute" detailing that I would like arbitration/mediation with EA regarding getting my account unbanned. EA requires all disputes are settled by arbitration so of course when I called the arbitrators I was informed there was a 200$ filing fee that I was responsible for. EA can feel confident offering to pay for arbitration and mediation when nobody is going to pay 200$ just to get the ball rolling. 

@airraidassassinI think I can understand you. my brother's account got recently banned although my brother did not even use it for a few years. a month ago he bought Battlefield V via Steam in order to play with my other brother and my cousin. he linked the newly bought game to his Origin account (which he did not use for years) and before he was able to start the game for the first time, he got banned.

in addition, the response from EA's ToS team was ... not helpful, at first. the first response seemed to be a standard one (i.e. "your account has correctly been banned") without providing any reason why. two weeks later, my brother received another email and was asked whether the issue is still there (well, of course it was. not really a helpful response to calm down the anger). after responding, my brother received another email: "the team is investigating the case", but nothing more for two more weeks. my brother then asked another time, what the reason was for his ban. and this time, he got informed that the ban was unjustified and his ban got lifted. no apology, no explanation of how it happened, nothing...

why do I write this? I don't want to support you breaking the rules just because you were treated unfairly. certainly I don't want you encouraging others to do so. however, I think EA's policy regarding bans should really be reconsidered. it can't be that in case of doubt the player has to prove that (s)he did something wrong. Especially since the player is the one who pays to be allowed to play the game. and besides, the game lacks any information about the rules (in-game), what is allowed and what is not.

In this sense, I would like to support your feedback to EA, but not approve of your behavior of breaking the rules!

after my ban was lifted i reopened my case and wrote a message to tos that i think that i deserve a "make-right" for this wrongly ban. i see that my case was updated yesterday and again today from the tos team. but i still didnt get any mail that informs me what is going on right now. and of course i still have no information about the original reason for my ban. what is so complicate to say: "ok, we made a mistake. sorry for that.

here is the final answer from tos after i had ask for a makeright for the missing 3 weeks because of the wrongly ban:

If the ban is right why was it taken away after 3 weeks?

If the ban is right why im still unbanned?

Why can tos still not tell me what I was supposed to have done wrong?

If something like this happen again i will talk to microsoft and let them remove ea play from my game pass ultimate and @EA loses another longyear costumer.
