I've got banned from Apex Legends - eviltoast

Got greeted with this message today. I’ve been playing Apex on linux for more than a year. Not sure if this could be related? Is this just me?

I’ve contested the ban and I’m currently waiting for a response from ea support.

UPDATE : Got an email response from EA today. It’s basically a generic message saying that my account was associated with “cheating practices” and so they will not remove the ban.

This is absolutely fucking ridiculous! I’ve been playing this game since 2020 and have 3K+ hours on record, now this shit happens and there’s no recourse ? Fuck this company.

    People weren’t blaming proton or linux for him being banned, it’s well known that it’s because of EA and the anti-cheat they use being unreliable and them being unwilling to address the issues with false bans to linux users. Your bad faith misrepresentation just further erodes your credibility here, like no one here can read this and not think of you as a troll. This isn’t Steamcommunity where bad faith accusations trying to foster ill-will towards someone are seen as good or acceptable, people here see them for what they are.

    Oh yeah, and no you aren’t being oppressed or mistreated by being called out for your baseless claims or the fact that you are using tactics employed by trolls and bad faith actors. That’s not a valid basis for being abused or harassed, that is you being held accountable for actions and behavior which is seen as undesirable. The difference between what you are doing and what I and others here are doing is that the bad things you claim OP did are in fact, not provable. Whereas the bad faith arguments you’ve engaged in are indeed provable as you’ve done them before our eyes.


    Let’s list some of them out so there’s zero ambiguity. Circular logic:

    Cheaters make appeal request all the time.

    Circular logic and ad-hominem: You sound exactly like the people I ban…lol dindu nuffin!

    Strawman:

    You defend cheaters blind you aint my friend.

    strawman:

    You dont even know this guy… yet you are so sure he is not cheating… lmfao

    Strawman and ad-hominem:

    Proof = he was banned its the OP picture! You have 0 proof he did not cheat and you dont know him but here you are so sure he “dindu nuffin” wrong and Im a bad guy.

    yet again Strawman:

    I can prove it…open your eyes and see picture OP posted ill even read it for you. “Permanently banned” the definition of permanently is for ever. You are not challenging shit!


    For someone who claims he has so much knowledge and experience, you sure need to twist misrepresent people’s arguments a lot to try to win them. Shows you don’t have any ground to stand on. In reality OP being a cheater is your opinion which isn’t backed up by facts or logic. The only thing that is backed up by any sort of facts is OP’s account being banned, which doesn’t prove that he is a cheater either, that would also be circular logic to try and justify your, very unagreeable opinion, as a fact when it is only your opinion.

      You sound like parrot!

      Op cheated I called him out somehow you got butthurt and had to open your mouth and I clapped it shut. So hard that I have you taking like a parrot going in circles. You have not added anything new to your spew. Writing a lot is not helping, multi blaming everything else came back to bite you in the butt. Next time you try and defend a cheater remember conversation. I will be living rent free for a while!

      You blamed linux and EA wtf are you taking about the community did???

        You seem to have a very strong delusion that you are in control or somehow winning claiming that you have “shut me up” when the only thing you have done is continue to make unsubstantiated claims about the OP based on your own opinion alone, and all but admitting that they are completely unsubstantiated while you try and strawman my arguments, claiming that I am blaming linux or proton, or trying to claim that I am debating whether the OP is actually banned, yet another strawman.

        As much as you dislike it, I will continue to point out the fallacies in your arguments as you continue to make them, even if you insult me. I’m not afraid of you, I see through your lies and your deceptive tactics, as do many other people here, I’ve debated hundreds of trolls like you in the past and you are no different than any of them. The content of our discussion may be different but the tactics are the same.

        Whether you accept it or not EA is a terrible company who is well known for being hostile towards their customers, and has already had many similar incidents happen before already. This is an opinion very commonly shared both by people in this community and Lemmy as a whole (which generally leans towards anti-corporatism). An opinion which is still an opinion but is backed up by the history of this company and their practices, which have been hostile towards their users but also their staff and developers too.

                It was you who decided to continue replying after a whole day and you had nothing left to say, because you can’t address any of the points I’ve made with real logic, or try to devalue it by trying to claim people aren’t reading it, because you don’t have a better argument. Your whole first page is full of replies to this thread, you’ve thought about nothing else besides this for the past few days, yet you don’t think you live rent free in my head 🤣

                    Wow you’re still here? I actually forgot about you, but I guess you’re still thinking of me, projection much?

                    I’m glad we had this conversation because it’s rare that people like yourself have your faulty logic and shitty opinions challenged. But if you want to stop hearing from me, there’s an easy way to do so, though I don’t think you will because just how you said it, I’m living rent free in your head, and you just can’t stop thinking of me.
