New account banned

CG_Meathead 

Good morning, 

my in game name is GeneralKushyKenobi, guild leader for Order of Iron Knights.

we have a member who has been targeted twice from malicious attacks.

the first time his account was hijacked and the hijacker deleted the account. Our guild stepped up in a huge way to help this member by spending our own money after he created another account.

members pitched in bought Light Speed Bundles from the gift store to help him bounce back, we get a message in discord this morning and the member has now been “banned for multiple offenses”. 

I have attached two screenshots for reference of the account name and the screenshot of the ban screen.

my guild members also want a refund for the gifts sent to this account. 

we just want to know why the account was banned and if he can possibly get the account back off the ban list.

    This will never be answered by EA on the forum for legal reasons. Historically only other players discuss it.

    From what i saw, there may have been a false auto report on the most recent GAC for Jango finishing with full protection but less than full health or maybe for so many sub 20 seconds battles. Their detection system is unknown for what its detecting. There may have been cheating in game modes that Swgoh.gg doesn't show. 

    The player is the only one who can go through the appeal and if they didn't cheat the account would be reinstated.  EA won't confirm what was the reason.

    CG_Meatheadmate this is a very close knit guild that has many members paying good money towards your game.

    Please look out for your loyal customers and player base. He isn't some hacker or anything and  he shouldn't be the victim of something going wrong on someone else's part, it's not right. 

    All we hope for is a happy resolution to this issue

      +1 to this.

      I've seen enough of these to know that the dude most likely is cheating. Especially when an ally code isn't provided

        His ally code is 399-726-855. Not sure if it’s automatically the same as his original account (don’t know how ally codes work) but this is the account he started after being hacked.

      How is it a crap response? They posted a very formal channel for handling these things, which is better than what we had before. Why should this be handled by an off-the-cuff process of someone grabbing a request off the forums? There are probably thousands of accounts that need to be reviewed. 

      CG made a post about how tgis should be handled with the form right there; that's the process that should be followed.

      Fr not even “sorry to hear”. These guys are taught customer service in a dumpster

  • From what I can see, I don't think he has cheated, in obtaining characters or GAC.

  • EA_Gunner 

    we removed the player from our guild, members spent money to help this guy and he didn’t care to try and recover the account.

    as a guild leader I would to like to know at the very least why the account was banned. Did he cheat?

      I mean if he didn't even bother to try and recover it; there's your answer. He got caught and knew it.
