Game or EA Account Ban Appeals
We can’t handle bans or appeals here. Please don't ask us to remove or review bans as it's not something we can take any action on.
Please check here for info on how to appeal/move forward in the case of a ban or action.
Those who have appealed know that the TOS Team almost does not have real person reviews, and they only use AI review tools to reject appeals in batches to evade their work and responsibility.
From what I understand, each ban is reviewed by a real person, (although they do use templates with their replies to help speed things along, (which may come off as being an AI bot reply)).
No one wants your chatbot like replies, and your hero title seems very funny and ridiculous in the responses to these topics.
If there was other ways to appeal the ban, I would had mention it, however since bans can only be handled by the EA TOS Team, there is no other way to appeal the ban.
That being said, if you believe your ban was caused by a bug:
Matter of fact i do have a screenshot(would provide if asked) showing my Easy anti-cheat wasnt working (error 87)
i didnt know at the time but the gameplay was normal and nothing looked weird or worng, it was apparently broken or corrupted Chatgpt said.
I tried to repair the EAC but it wouldnt work so i deleted it and verified my apex files so i could re install it back safely , but that also didnt work.
so i just fully clean restarted my pc to deleted all my files i had so here we are now still waiting for my 6th appeal response and yes i did add the screenshot to the appeal and they still denied me.
Same thing happed to me after i got banned on apex. before i knew the main issue i played a diffrent game that runs with Easy anti-cheat, i was able to play one single game then the second one i got kicked out the match and a pop up showed that i was banned for 24 hours so i instantly knew it was something wrong with the EAC
I have never used cheats, hacks, macros, or unauthorized software's. So yes i think this was a false ban
Thank you for your time.
Narrsicist Yeah, that does sound like the EAC is being weird, (which doesn't surprise me as sometimes it would still be running for Apex when I had switched to playing Fortnite for the day).

If it was caused by a bug, that would be useful to share.

I personally don't like EAC as I've gotten errors before saying that the game "was not running the anti-cheat" on launch or randomly after a match, (which either forced me to restart the game or it had let me continue playing, (and I would always manually restart the game at that point as well)).

From what I understand, Error 87 usually means there was a conflict with Window's services, a corruption in the game's files, or a compatibility issue, (which the common fixes involved reinstalling the EAC, reinstalling the game, updating Windows, updating system drivers, etc. (but that doesn't always work).

With this, that sounds more like you are having a compatibility issue, so are you running any kind of anti-virus program, (other than Windows Defender), or anything that may interfere with the EAC? Is your PC running Windows 11? Do you have secure boot and other required settings enabled?
I did have Malwarebytes installed alongside Windows Defender to add an extra layer of protection.
(Someone recommended Malwarebytes to me so I could have extra protection alongside Windows Defender.)
but i never had any problems with it or like interfering with The EAC
Ive always had it installed on my pc and every game was running or working normal nothing was wrong no error or ban
The game I mentioned me being banned after i got banned on apex was fortnite. First i got banned for 24 hours then the next day i logged on Fortnite to find out it turned to 365 days (a year)
it was only games with EAC that was getting me banned i was playing Valorant after all that stress (Same day) and nothing happened no ban no error
And you know that the Kernel anti-cheat on Valorant is on another level — it sees way more than normal anti-cheats, so it’s way better at catching cheaters. If I were actually cheating, kernel-level anti-cheat would’ve caught it instantly.
That’s why I know I wasn’t cheating — I’ve never used cheats, and there was nothing for a kernel-level anti-cheat to detect
PSA My apex appeal has been denied six times now, and each response has been the same automated message.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Narrsicist I've used Malwarebytes before and it shouldn't be messing with the EAC either, (and besides, if it was a problem, Valorant's anti-cheat would be mad at you too).

Hmm weird... I wonder if it got turned into a year since the EAC had banned you in Apex, (although that doesn't make sense as those are two different games, despite using the same anti-cheat), like if a ban in one game had mattered, you would of been banned in every EAC protected game.
And you know that the Kernel anti-cheat on Valorant is on another level — it sees way more than normal anti-cheats, so it’s way better at catching cheaters. If I were actually cheating, kernel-level anti-cheat would’ve caught it instantly.
Yup, it doesn't mess around.

That's unfortunate, (and I did report the issue as a possible bug to EA, (however I'm not sure if that would change anything)).
