Hello, I tried to lug in to my account t as usual and it says I’m banned. Completely unwarranted, never cheated or done anything untowards… look at my GAC history. I think people with higher gp I beat are being sore losers and reporting me. I hardly ever win any event either.
Well...there is a strange peak of ban complaints these last few days...i would guess there is some new anti-cheat mechanism operating that is detecting a lot of "suspects"...
I assume that for each complaint in forum there are dozens of silent bans...
Either there is some old cheat technique that suddenly became "detectable" and is being "prosecuted"...OR (perhaps AND) there are also a lot of "false positives" being banned.
As far as i can see, it is targetting mostly PVE cheating as most "suspects" are "clean" in PVP...and many players believe that either 1) The cheating they were using was "fair" and/or "undetectable" as it was in PVE OR 2) They did not cheat and it is a mistake
I am curious on HOW these stories will unfold...i hope at least one of the many ban complaints will share what EA decided with their "appeal"...

I guess and hope I will be cleared asap but I don’t know when asap is and if I am not forbidden to - which I am not aware of - I’ll gladly share what decision and hopefully reasoning behind the ban I’ll get.

Cheating isn’t the only reason you can get banned. Not accusing the OP of anything, but it could also be something else.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life.
Actually, most of them did show sus PvP upon deeper review.
I definitely hope that any unjustified bans are successfully appealed, and based on just very circumstantial evidence of Ultra responding to two of the threads with tagging the user and a smiley face, I’m guessing any false bans are being rectified.
But by and large, most of these posts have turned out to be, in fact, justified.

@Ultra I really hope you apply for the community manager gig (assuming Meathead is still temporary). You are doing amazing job catching these cheaters. I know it’s a different skill set, but you’ve earned it.
You also deserve recognition for helping that guy who was scheduled to face a cheater in GAC next round. Kudos to you. Keep up the great work!

Some players hide it better than others. They use the correct counters, but then get caught hitting under protection. Nice job CG. Keep up the good work.
The current CMs are doing a much better job at catching cheaters than i am but its not visible to the public
Ultra, my guild mates asked that I reach out to you for help getting it fixed. I have never cheated once and have been a loyal player for years. Very upset atm
That was a clean win with a decent DR team with a decent Chron. The bossk team I beat wasn’t strong and didn’t have a chron.
Honestly, i can see why it would be suspicious.
According to bossk lead, they recover protection whenever the enemy suffers a debuff. Ferocity is a debuff, so whenever a sith empire ally takes a turn, the BH team recover a good chunk of HP and protection, which i can understand why Ultra would think it is suspicious. Realistically, the BH team would survive long enough for dengar to get off an AOE because of the ferocity healing them, which would also make you drop banners. Just my thoughts. Odd that Jango has full protection though? No idea why. By Chron do you mean datacron? Maybe im stupid but the screenshot has no datacron on both teams.
Holy shiii. I didn’t see the protection on Jango before. Oof. That’s a lot of damage from Sith Empire Trooper or something like that.
Honestly i actually forgot SET does that, but no way a G12 is doing THAT much to a R2 jango. R2 jango has
39209 health, and since its full protection means nobody else attacked jango. Also, when jango dies he doesnt recover protection, so thats even weirder. That means SET killed jango, and then killed jango again. Add in cooldowns and the 1 minute time, no way SET could do that twice. Jango recovers 100% protection when he kills someone, but his team is at max, so thats the weird part: Jango doesnt regain protection when reviving, and he is at 100% protection even though he died twice, which means he died with 100% protection and got 1 shot by SET. That would mean SET did it twice. Let's say somehow SET did 1 shot, no way his cooldowns were ready in a 1 minute period before anyone else killed Jango. So even if SET 1 shot jango, someone else like revan would go next and attack Jango, removing the protection.

I am sorry I did not make myself clearer, because yes, of course that SET couldn’t have done it.

Pretty clean history otherwise, other than one or two sketchy battles
Send a PM to @CG_Leviathan with your request to appeal your ban

And yet it still shows cheating
Ooooooooohhh jango has full protection still!!! I didnt even see that

Sidenote: this has been a REALLY fun forum day following all these ban posts haha...easily my favorite day on here

If you are unbanned, Great!
If you are still banned, and want to know what specific instance triggered your ban, reach out to @CG_Leviathan to dispute
