That screenshot was eye opening, cheaters being able to negotiate out of a perma-ban and then get to choose when they serve their suspension.. what the hell? What a joke.
No thats is a fresh alt account he made. Not against TOS. He got another one from another player which is the one that got banned. This game ain't the only one that do punishments for account sharing/giving/selling, all kinda fall in the same category for online games that do
CG pretty good at making unpopular decisions, and then just disappearing from the forums for a month...so I would bet on another road ahead delay. Cause they cant come back here until this blows over...
Look, im not gonna go watch any of his videos to find out what happened. I dont want him in my youtube algorythms. But if you wanna tell me here, even if its a little exacerbated, im into it. I come here for the flaming bags of terds littered all over this dumpster fire. And this one sounds like a stinky one
Maybe their new tools autodetect enjoyment across all platforms and auto ban?
They didn't ban his main account, but another account that wasn't originally his
1. Account transfer is against the Terms of Service (Violation #1)
2. The other issue (unconfirmed) is that the account was originally a chinese account so there might be illegal crystal purchases (in the past) or since China is removing the game and CG is no longer supporting it after the next Title Update, the account was going to go away eventually
The second point is unconfirmed but Ahnald still has his main account which he has used for all his videos so far, so its not as big of a loss, and he's still able to make the same videos as he always has
That’s not entirely accurate. He has started making videos on the now-banned account because the roster was more complete. All of his recent videos dating back to The Mandalorian content for new releases and testing have come from that account. He mostly streams his GAC on his main; but this is a big loss for him and the community writ large.

My god CG is a joke. This guy literally gives them FREE publicity and this is what you guys do. Literally the devs or whoever is in charge have got to be the dumbest people in the gaming community. What a shame
To be fair, he makes money off the videos. He isn't exactly doing it for free either.
CG what a completely stupid move. I am dumbfounded that the level of stupidity I mean are you running on one brain cell or something. Your ban of Ahnald's account is complete and total crap. Don't give me that crap of it is clearly against the rules crap when you cherry pick those same rules depending on who is breaking them. You guys are full of it.

I cannot wait to see this thread get archived and watch as CG claims all their highlighted acts were justified.
Shared accounts? Yeah it's against T.O.S, though they've NEVER acted on this previously from what I remember, or have observed in my 3 years playing this game.
Cheating? Not only against their T.O.S, but against EA's own cheating policies, yet offers them back with a cuddle and a cry and a "It will be okay, just PLEASE don't do it again."
Just you wait, I'm calling it now, the cheating will be completely ignored in this debacle.
so they kill the gamechangers program and get rid of all test accounts that these Youtubers used to test out new characters and squads, you know, free advertising for their game that gets people to whale out on these new marquee and legendary characters.. so he found another way to continue to make videos like that without a test account and he gets banned for it? I'd think CG would be all over this in a good way, here is a form of free advertising for your game, not just free, advertising that is paying you to whale out for new marquee characters and gear
and they ban it?
I thought CG was all about making more money. I thought that's all they cared about. they certainly don't care about balance or game integrity or cheating.
Seriously CG, you guys have not been doing well with your community, then you pull something like this? Get your act together or you won't have a game much longer. Especially doing something like this while the world is in a protesting and rioting mood (particularly america) maybe we should bring some of that over here and smack some sense into you. You probably wont see or care about my individual post but it's adding to the voices so that hopefully you can't ignore us. Even Palpatine knew he couldn't hold his empire without the people and as such didn't dissolve the senate directly after order 66. How does it feel to be worse than the Emperor?
Complete and utter ****. (Sorry if I have offended any horses). Cap games can supply us with any tools to determine when someone is cheating, can’t police the cheaters THEMSELVES, can’t (or refuses) to supply anything useful for the community to use for theory crafting. I’m dumbfounded by the stupidity of this decision as it gives exposure to all the things that cap games has failed at delivering to the community.

He streams the other on twitch.

Lucky for the cheaters that cheating isn‘t against the TOS.
They are running on one laptop.
