Hello, my username is Avern, my playerID is 47845 and Ally Code = 375-732-811. I joined swgoh in 2017 but stopped playing then started again in 2019. I have been playing honestly for 3 years. But this year, A month ago something bad happend. I was in the last semester of my college, besides that I was looking for a job and preparing for GATE exam. I had enormous study pressure. So I told my cousin brother who also is a swgoh player to use my account and complete the progress for Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. I sometimes opened the game just to view the progress and nothing else. He unlocked JML and started journey guide for SEE. Now a month ago(6/7 th April) I opened the swgoh and found that my accound has been banned for repeated offense. I could not belive my eyes. I thought someone has reported wrongly. So, I googled about it and came here, complained and I searched the discussion. After that I went to my swgoh.gg account and searched for grand arena history and found some battle history which could only be explained by some kind of cheating. So I asked my brother if he had done something but he denied telling he has not played GA for a time and did not open regularly. Then remembered that some months ago(2-3) my insta account was hacked, an hacking attempt on my steam account was also made. The facebook account which was linked to my insta and swgoh account, was hacked also. As far I have seen my brother playing, he is a fair player, so I dont think he cheated, But I am sure my account was hacked. Now my college is over, I want my account back. I am being punished for something I didn't do. Last year I invested a lot of money(2000-3000 inr) after my account. Please help me.

It's his cousin's brother or his brother's cousin.

To be fair to the OP (who has clearly cheated, been caught, and should be banned) the line between brother and cousin in some cultures is very blurred. In some Eastern European languages, for example, they have no word for cousin and would instead describe them as, their brother from their aunt etc. if the OP is EAL then this could be an easy mistake to make and should be forgiven. Cheating on the other hand should get a lifetime ban.

Likely due to the gaming chair.

So...someone would hack into insta, then facebook, then swogh, then take the time to understand the game, then how to hack it, then hack the account, then use cheats to progress...all the time maintining the login info...Seriously?!?!?!?

This is what I thought about the cousin- brother; could be a cousin that was raised with them and feels like a brother.

But it doesn't make the story more believable, and even sharing accounts violates ToS.

“been playing honestly for 3 years”

At that point I couldn’t wait to read more.

to be fair, a lot and little amount of money varies person to person

If spending $2-3 per month over 12 months is “a lot of money”, then I must be super privileged.

In Terms of the ToS there is no difference if you payd or not. If you cheated or someone who played for you.

The ACCOUNT cheated and thats all that counts. Therefore the ACCOUNT gets banned.
And as its not a "one of" but a repeat offense, there is no chance of unbanning it.

That sayd... i agree with that it can be a lot of money. But it doesnt change anything for the case.

I dont know why this thread is still open. There is no point in discussing the case any further.

I read the agreements and saw something about giving warning.Why I was banned without getting any warning? If I had got one, I would have taken steps long before.
