Re: Auction House Is Currently Unavailable in Madden Mobile 18...

@hodgEbeatz11 you are correct, it's not illegal.  It's cheating!

Cheating involves a video game player using a non-standard method to create an advantage beyond normal game play, in order to make the game easier.  Cheats come in all forms, some examples are; cheat codes, third party software and/or hardware, exploring software bugs and in game hacks. 

Purchasing coins is 100% cheating!!   Anyone that has purchased coins to give themselves an advantage in this game, deserves to be banned indefinitely. 

Let's use the board game Monopoly as an example really quick. You start the game off with $1,500 for each player.  It's not illegal to take more money from the bank.  It's not illegal to position the Chance and Community cards so that the next draw works to your advantage. It's also not illegal to purposely move your token more or less moves than you rolled on the dice.  You won't find any of these written in the rules as being illegal. You won't even find written in the rules that it's considered cheating. However, just because it's not written doesn't mean it's not cheating!

    Not all of us are denying what happened, or that it was/wasn't against policy, but some communication about how long the 'soft ban' is would help the cause. They aren't following through on what their support is telling us when we call or open cases either. I know I won't be buying coins outside the game in the future because I love the game too much to get my AH closed on me again.

    Using this logic, you could consider purchasing madden cash “cheating”
  • Did you get your ban lifted yet? I still cant access the auction house.

    I don’t think EA is thinking about fixing this anytime soon
  • Yeah this is so frustrating. If I domt get my AH back, Im calling apple so I can get my purchases refunded. This is just so ridiculous. @EA_Barry Where ya at?

    I've heard it's because people who aren't adept at AH flipping are upset they can't hustle. People who just make alot of in-game money without spending alot of cash got AH banned as a way of saying "slow down". I've also heard it could be some glitch in their game to cause reposting. If so than we are being punished for their mistake in-game even if you didn't realize it was happening. I would repost everything till it sold with so many items up at a time I could never tell. Honestly I wouldn't care at this point either way if they would just man up and say something. It is absolutely cowardly because they were told not to respond by superiors who can't do their job and make stupid decisions with misguided power plays. I hope anybody woth ban is firmly keeping their wallets closed until this is resolved. Worst of all you go on YouTube and ALL the cheaters are STILL THERE!
