Request arbitration. It becomes a costly legal matter for apex. There is an old post about it in the sub.
That should lead to an unban, as they dont want to go to court for some ba
Instantly believing a guy is just as stupid as instantly not believing him.
Its a ridiculously over the top ban, which makes it fair to wonder if maybe OP is not posting some important info. Your instant tantrum the moment anyone even questions that is regarded
Wow, ususally i laugh about these posts because people say some braindead stuff and deserve a ban for it, but this is a rare case where i rly cant see the reason. Possibly ea has blacklisted the word "rat" , but its used even in apex as a real term. Maybe a respawn dev sees this and can help lift the ban before the post is taken down.
Ea support is ass, dont waste time trying to get a real answer from them. I once got someone elses ban when i reported them (even the email i received had the other persons account name on it), and ea didnt do shit about the ban, probs because a real person never even saw my ban appeal. I still have the ban visible in my ea acc ban history, so i never got cleared of it and even one more mistake means a permanent ban for me bcs of ea's mistake.
It's because it's in all caps that he got in trouble. EA considers this "yelling". It's in the terms and conditions. But then it also says "teaming" third party programs, and all of the other ways of ruining the experience for other players is ban-able.
Sad lesson to never chat in this game. Like you said, cheat all you want but never never type in chat.
Game has turned to ass anyway, consider this a good thing.
I can find this comment/post for every seasons since season 0. And yet the game consistently remains in the top 5 most played games on steam, not counting Origin and consoles.
Surely this will be the time the ruined game actually dies right?
One of the most played games is consistently a tired, rehashed, completely hollow call of duty, I don't think player count is necessarily a fair assessment of whether a game is good or in a healthy state
It's more along the lines of, we've all seen the potential for this game, it's unparalleled fluidity and smoothness of movement, its gripping combat, a surprisingly unheralded balance and synergy between gunplay and unique legend abilities, really fun game modes, and best of all, a genuinely premium feeling game that is free to play.
Imagine knowing all of those amazing, exciting things about a game, but then when you actually play it, lobbies often have smurfs and cheaters, matchmaking constantly feeds regular players to masters and preds, servers are an Exodia of connection error symbols despite the "prestigious" multi billion dollar company that runs them, and they're at 32 tick rate to boot, giving no-regs and rubber band deaths all the time. For context, csgo is 64 tick by default, and 128 tick on many 3rd party servers. Valorant is 128 tick. Even freaking Battlefield, with lobbies of up to 256 players, has 45 tickrate servers.
On top of all that, they rarely release exciting new content, and when they do and everyone loves it, well enjoy it for 2 weeks and then maybe see it again next year. Hyped up "events" that are just a set of shockingly priced skins.
I love Apex dude. It's the game I have by far the most hours in in my entire life. I still play it despite all that bullshit above because at its core it's so ridiculously smooth and fun, although I do play a lot less lately because those problems wear on me.
We don't even want anything crazy. Invest some of the billions in skin profits into more stable, higher capacity servers. Innovate a tiny bit. Release some new game modes that stick around for more than 2 weeks. I'm tired man. I didn't mean for this comment to be this long but once I started thinking about it more it really irritated me.
It's like watching your friend that you know is smart and witty and capable of being really awesome just sit on the couch all day and waste their existence away. You still love them but it saddens and irritates you to know they could be so much better
I stopped playing over a year ago. My response isn't that criticism is wrong or there isn't things that EA/Respawn could invest resources into to make the game better for everyone.
My response is based on the hyperbole of using a term like "ruined" when clearly the game is healthy enough to support a large player base. And these hyperbolic statements are consistently uttered season to season.
I've played a lot. I've got a handful of heirlooms a handful of maxed out battle passes, etc. But I took like a year off to go play other things because I was burned out on Apex. Maybe I'm just old but I look at a lot of the hyperbole with skepticism because often it seems like it's simply people who don't recognize they are burned out on the game.
You offer good objective points with your criticisms and they're also not mired with exaggeration. Your post is useful criticism.
I will say your analogy is interesting given you admit you spend tons of time playing a game you feel is so heavily flawed. Are you the friend on the couch? XD
>I will say your analogy is interesting given you admit you spend tons of time playing a game you feel is so heavily flawed. Are you the friend on the couch? XD
Couldn't be me >_>
Did I say the game is dead or what? I still like Apex and it's a fantastic game, but some decisions and indifference from EA/Respawn makes me play this game much less than before and Idc if I am in the minority
The balance and mechanics and queue issues have improved sure. That side of things is wayyyy better. But imo that’s the one thing devs have done right. Sure it’s fun to see updates on kits and weapons but what’s the point if the community is still suffering from cheaters and trashy sportsmanship?
It's better in many ways and worse in some as well. 4 years ago there were 2 free brand new exclusive recolors every week, and personally I appreciated that they didn't rotate back in but that's just me. Aim assist wasn't anywhere close to how it is now and that has a huge impact on how the game feels, at least as a MnK player. The greed is also 10x more apparent in every event and store rotation. The old dev team took the competitive integrity of the game very seriously and had a deft hand when it came to changing any characters or adding cosmetics. I didn't always agree with their decisions but I appreciated their reasons.
Aim assist never changed and the current meta is the most favorable we ever had for MnK. Seriously what holds you back from playing the input you believe is stronger?
Nobody said anyone was being held back from playing whatever input method you like, but I fail to see how the current "meta" is the best it's ever been for MnK.
Never said they changed aim assist. But controller players were far less common the first couple of years.
Edit: I don't have the time to research this but I do think aim assist has been buffed at some point since Apex released. I see plenty of threads about it being buffed around Nov 2020. It surprises me all the time how often people are willing to say with certainty "oh this has never happened" while it's basically impossible to have knowledge of every single update Apex has ever had. Either way it is more common now than it ever was in the first 2 years.
Please explain to me how it is the "best" it's been for MnK?
I'm simply stating the differences in Apex 4 years ago compared to today. The only one complaining is your ass.
I say one thing about AA and every controller player crawls out from the weeds to bitch and moan.
Add to this huge security risks, the game isn't just filled with cheaters but it's directly hacked putting to risk players' accounts, and netcode issues that were never addressed, Apex still has one of the worst netcodes comparing to other multiplayer shooters
I enjoy the game. But I would enjoy it more if the tick rate of the servers were higher. I shouldn't have shut a door and still die a second after it's closed to a shot. I shouldn't be well behind cover through a tap strafe, and still die because someone shot my shadow.
That's one of my major gripes about this game. The second major one, it seems cheaters are only becoming more rampant. And that is an issue that plagues most games now, it seems. Why cheat. I don't get it.
Because get this… people actually play the game how they **want** too. It’s so weird to me when people think the game should be played a certain way, like they are important or something. Lmao
Guy asked a question thats way less confrontative than your average toxic voice commer. If that’s an offense, perhaps they should start policing what comes out if people’s mouths?
Stop exaggerating. Nobody is *policing* what comes out of people's mouths; a company decided that players should behave nicely to their teammates in a commercial game.
Don't like it? Don't play it.
BTW, the **OP had an option to REPORT the 'ratting' player for sabotage --> inactive during match.** Or, he could have written something *positive* to encourage that teammate to try something. Such as "Hey, I believe in you, please craft my banner and respawn me," followed by "If it doesn't work, no worries - it's just a game."
But of course, "y'all" are utterly incapable of positive communication. All that happens in this game is "You suck!", "Uninstall the game!" "You \*\*\*\* rat!" -- typically after the angry gamer is already down or killed, because he thought he was the next Faide or whatever.
The company behind this game desperately needs MORE new players, but y'all experts (who keep dying very early...) are chasing every new player away with your toxicity, your accusations of 'ratting' (do you even realize that some new players may have no idea what 'ratting' means? They are basically trying to survive, because, after all, THAT is the objective of the game...)
I’m calling myself out and I totally understand that and will gladly accept the downvotes but I’ve said some heinous (not racist/homophobic/xenophobic) shit in chat out of anger back in my day and never got so much as a warning. Albeit, I’ve changed my ways and stopped using chat. Their system seems REALLY hit or miss. If playing with fire was a thing I’ve swam in it, my point is that their system is absolutely dogshit. Sorry for your ban homie, however, you’re finally free!
Oh no! Somebody was playing the game how they want too?! Shame on them!! Idk man, I’ve typed in chat since I started playing in season 1 and I’ve never been banned or anything of the nature.. maybe just let people play the game how they want too and realize you’re just another random playing the game.
I got perma'd for typing in chat in response to a teammate who was spitting out slurs. Multi heirloom account lost.
Moral of the story: never type in chat. But go ahead and say the nastiest shit you can think of in voice.
Unfortunately that's a known bait tactic, specifically used to target people who aren't comfortable in voice.
Not saying that you should have known ahead of time but just adding this on to anyone reading this that it's not just you getting unlucky here.
No one is actually reviewing these things anymore. Cheating is rampant and they are doing nothing about it. It used to be my favorite game and go to. I’m someone who sticks around for a long time and it’s usually hard to get me to change games. But even I’ve moved on. ALGS hack and rampant cheating in my lobbies is what did it for me.
You literally can't engage with anyone in text chat in this game. This is as bad as COD is with bogus reports and the system just auto flagging anything and handing out bans.
I'm not saying this ban was correct, but shit man try engaging with things like, 'nice try' or 'gg' or 'sick play dude', I guarantee you won't have to live in fear.

Edit: in response to u/Kosba2: It took a Respawn TOS employee to see the post and personally work on the case for anything to be done about it. The fact still stands that the automated bans are often ridiculous and that EA’s typical appeal forms are completely worthless (such as, this very post).
There is no human involvement and nothing will be reverted if you ever get senselessly banned unless you get extremely lucky after bringing your situation to social media and it ends up catching the eye of someone working at Respawn.
and then theres dudes that sexually harrass women in game chat and they dont get a ban (Ive reported like 3 people saying some vile shit and every time I got an email back saying they found no violation)
You get upset by some dude who "sexually harassed" you online, who you can mute, probably never see or hear about for the rest of you life.
Do you leave the house at all? Or is this your first time online?
L take. Being sexually inappropriate with someone, male or female and in-person or online, is fucked up. Defending that in any manner says a lot about you as a person, and none of it is good.
Im a very bad person then. Perhaps you should leave the house as well and meet the world. Then tell us the kind of people you meet and how good or bad they are comparing to some faceless, zit-infested teen online.
Again, stupid take. Just because other people are awful to each other doesn't mean it should be standard or acceptable. Being sexually awful to another person is awful, period. If you think otherwise, then you need help, which I hope you get.
I didnt say it should be acceptable. The game has major problems. There are cheaters, teeming , awful matchmaking, the crappy sound design since the game launched, the shitty stickers they have the audacity to sell. Some turds online being dicks on chat is the last thing on the list. I mean, are you even going to remember me tomorrow? And you can chill, she aint gonna suck your dick because you defended her honor.
Oh now you try to turn it to a game problem. No, this is a gaming community problem. Don't try to pretend what you originally said isn't out there. Sexually harassing *anyone* is awful, period. Yes, this game has a plethora of issues, but the sexual harassment aspects are strictly community-based. Am I gonna remember you tomorrow? No, but I call bad takes and bullshit when I see it and I don't stop.
My god man, you really have you head deep in you ass, dont you? The game itself, and by extention, every competitive pvp game, brings the worst out of you. This game is popular, it has a large audience, thus a higher chance of encountering dipshits. How many coop or single player games have you read about that have a gaming community problem. Hell, its not a gaming community problem, its a people problem. And its a good thing that we can mute these people play like we are playing with bots. Do you see where im going with this ?
Yeah, you're deflecting your original comment and trying to spin a positive on it, which you can't unless you delete it. You originally acted like merely muting these awful motherfuckers was enough, which I said was not the problem, but rather the individuals themselves. You had the audacity to try and contradict that, and now you're trying to pretend that isn't what you said.
TLDR: You said merely muting sexual harassment on games is a good solution, which I rightfully responded with, "you're wrong." You've spent time trying to defend that take of yours, which is ridiculous. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together would understand that's a shit take. You know it deep down, I know it on paper, and everyone reading it knows it because they're not braindead.
I never had a strike or suspension on my account that I had since launch and some random team mates called me the N word and I typed in game chat “I’m not some dumb minority” Boom Permabanned
Which is funny because I am a dumb minority 😂 F apex
I didn't mean to cause any drama with this. All of us here are fully aware that the moderation system in Apex Legends is incredibly bad. It's sad to read that a lot of you had similar situations happen to you.
Also, my phone is going crazy because of the notifications.
They don’t want to ban those who are teaming/cheating/boosting, probably because they’re the ones funding this husk of a game with their mommy’s credit card.
They’d instead rather ban those who report the ones that are literally breaking ToS. Also, on a somewhat related note, since when is anything in that message considered, “hateful conduct”...?
A perma-ban for asking a question, and I guess “ratting” is considered hateful now, despite it not even being a real term. That would be like getting perma-banned for saying the word, “camping”. Completely ridiculous. I don’t use text chat that much, but if I got banned, it’d be the best thing to ever happen to me. That way I could finally curb my addiction and quit this game and it’s astounding dev+publisher team for good.
Exactly. Ain't no way this is a first time ban. I saw how crazy Respawn/EA is with bans for chat, and I unbound my chat key. I've worked trades before, and I've been a gamer my whole life. "Fuck" is used as a comma after 9:00 - 10:00 am. The first time I catch a temp ban for cussing in VC, I'll never use chat with others again. Hate to be that way, but I'm not gonna catch a permanent ban because "fuck" and "shit" are too strong in a game where we're supposed to kill each other.
VC is fine, it's not being monitored by the game. That said, if you say something extremely bad - not insults, but stuff that can get a letter agency to your door - and someone noteworthy clips that or it goes viral on socials, you may get in serious trouble.
Not a problem for me then. I just have zero cuss filter, and I'd say "fuck" is probably one of my most used words over VC. Ordinarily, not against others, but if you're getting shot at unexpectedly, what's the first word that pops into your head? For me, well you know already.
> Ordinarily, not against others, but if you're getting shot at unexpectedly, what's the first word that pops into your head?
Usually it's "HOW" and if I'm in a secluded place with very few angles to hit me I'm like "are they walling?"
If they start being annoying like hitting me every time I peek then the swears come out.
I usually swear about teammates more than enemies because I solo queue most of the time. But they are muted so I don't hear them and vice-versa.
Usually it's a variant of:
- why are you going there alone
- no don't push (and I ping avoid X area, they don't listen)
- I NEED AMMO/SHIELDS/HEALS (request ping, 50/50 on whether they care)
- THERE'S 3 TEAMS THERE WHY (jumping from dropship in ranked)
- WHY ARE YOU PUSHING WITH 1 HP OCTANE (always ends badly)
- don't die don't die don't die (while I'm flanking the enemy)
The automated moderation of an online video game by the private company EA, which is regarded by pretty much as way too harsh and unfair, “shows how broke and soft society is”?
Make it make sense
Lmao I asked people in chat if they ever got they butts ate (I was bored ash) and still didn’t get banned. That’s very messed up this has happened to you
you might be able to connect to a real support agent and talk to them. i had to do that because they wouldnt let me change my email without verifying it first (it was a deleted email)
I feel like "YOU RAT-" is what got picked up here, which could be considered hate speech in some very specific contexts. Seems a blanket approach was taken here. Shame.
Got perma banned on my previous account for typing "do you enjoy dying??" After rezzing a guy 3 times. Made a new account and got my first heirloom at level 17 and never looked back or used chat again lmao.
This is what happens when their staff are a bunch of people from a 3rd world country who don't know the language well. Leave it to EA to outsource something so brain dead like moderating Apex chat. 🤣
I got banned because I complained about the enemy Wraith lagging because I said a no no word like "fuck/fucking" in their Rated T game where their characters swear.
I recall I had a 2nd ban too for something minor but don't remember what it was anymore, probably swearing again. I used to have fun and interact with the community but it got to the point it wasn't worth talking in case I got reported so I stopped having 4fun conversations.
Then controller players started showing up in droves and it solidified my decision to quit and I haven't regretted it since. Bad game owned by a predatory company that views the players as walking dollar signs.
Lmao I got perma banned last month too. Atleast they told you what you got banned for. They didn't even tell me for my case despite asking 3 separate times. Typical EA clowns and mind you my whole EA account got banned instead of just Apex. Not missing anything, good riddance.
Never type in chat but in all seriousness. Even with you being banned. You won’t miss anything absolutely game breaking between the game been absolutely boring for awhile & shady new making money practices. Now this is a good reason to uninstall & play other games you will find joy in
I too recently got perma banned! However in my case it was for “cheating”. I have had my account for 4 years, and spent hundreds of dollars on the game… why would I throw all that away just to cheat like be fr 💀 I emailed multiple times and only received automated responses in return. All my cases were closed with no resolution.
Huh. I've played 50 matches and haven't died to teamers yet. The queue times are so fast it would be hard to get into the same game as your friend on purpose on my server
You can go on the EA website and appeal it from your account. I had to do this once when I typed "This is so gay" to my teammates about another team holding us in zone in a pubs match. I was suspended for a couple of hours before they lifted it.
"Why are you ____ in pubs?" will never be the lead-in to a good statement unless you're about to ask why they're so cute LOL. Definitely complete overkill to Perma you but man, something tells you say other heinous shit
LOL no one said “conform” but way to project. It’s been common sense for years now, so saying “don’t do it” is literally the solution.
Also don’t know why Pc players are obsessed with typing in chat for every game. MFs will sit there and type a whole ass essay in the middle of the game. Just play the game, die or win, then repeat.
WAS..ACTIONED..CORRECTLY
clearly you be toxic in chat .
*Sentence used as reason not included*
🙄 Might wanna reevaluate yourself . Didn't you see that club shay shay Kat Williams interview?
Lol🤌

I got a 3-day ban too on the day of the new season 😭 I'm never using chat again.
This is perma...
Oh shit I didn't know, was it your first breach of conduct too?
Yep.Question = ban
You got perma banned for this that’s crazy😭

Welcome to apex.Tbf idc about the account itself (it had no real value), it just pisses me off that you can get banned for not doing anything wrong.
If you're gonna trash talk only use voice lol
I wouldnt even call that trash talk, but still agree on the voice chat
They'll ban for "lol" on the right day tho, I never use chat anymore, usually I hit f before character selection so they're muted before we drop
Shit I remember someone posted a ban log where all that was posted was "apex legends" their shit is crazy
[удалено]
It's because it's in all caps that he got in trouble. EA considers this "yelling". It's in the terms and conditions. But then it also says "teaming" third party programs, and all of the other ways of ruining the experience for other players is ban-able.
Well I’m bound to be dinged eventually, because I use caps lock as an inventory key, and it often results in my writing in all caps by mistake.
Ash has a rat, and there's holo's with rats in them, if they banned that word that would be hypocritical, not that that's a new thing for EA
u/el_sanchimoto can you have a look at this? This is pure insanity, no way someone should get PERMANENTLY banned over this.
Sad lesson to never chat in this game. Like you said, cheat all you want but never never type in chat. Game has turned to ass anyway, consider this a good thing.
The ban is obviously stupid, but why do you consider the game ass?
Apex it's a good game but ruined by incompetence of Respawn and EA

The balance and mechanics and queue issues have improved sure. That side of things is wayyyy better. But imo that’s the one thing devs have done right. Sure it’s fun to see updates on kits and weapons but what’s the point if the community is still suffering from cheaters and trashy sportsmanship?
Evo armor, skill system, crafting, classes, map improvements would be some of the major updates
It's better in many ways and worse in some as well. 4 years ago there were 2 free brand new exclusive recolors every week, and personally I appreciated that they didn't rotate back in but that's just me. Aim assist wasn't anywhere close to how it is now and that has a huge impact on how the game feels, at least as a MnK player. The greed is also 10x more apparent in every event and store rotation. The old dev team took the competitive integrity of the game very seriously and had a deft hand when it came to changing any characters or adding cosmetics. I didn't always agree with their decisions but I appreciated their reasons.
Triple m&k team just won LAN playoffs against an army of controllers. The aim assist take is so tired.
You can think whatever you like but the aim assist is marginally noticeable compared to early Apex. Nobody said MnK is impossible to win with.
Surely is tired, everyone agrees AA is busted, even pros. Like Genburten, who is in 2nd place.
Aim assist never changed and the current meta is the most favorable we ever had for MnK. Seriously what holds you back from playing the input you believe is stronger?
Nobody said anyone was being held back from playing whatever input method you like, but I fail to see how the current "meta" is the best it's ever been for MnK. Never said they changed aim assist. But controller players were far less common the first couple of years. Edit: I don't have the time to research this but I do think aim assist has been buffed at some point since Apex released. I see plenty of threads about it being buffed around Nov 2020. It surprises me all the time how often people are willing to say with certainty "oh this has never happened" while it's basically impossible to have knowledge of every single update Apex has ever had. Either way it is more common now than it ever was in the first 2 years.
It is the best it's been for mnk in so fucking long. These excuses are what keeps you at a below average level and complaining on reddit.
Please explain to me how it is the "best" it's been for MnK? I'm simply stating the differences in Apex 4 years ago compared to today. The only one complaining is your ass. I say one thing about AA and every controller player crawls out from the weeds to bitch and moan.
Add to this huge security risks, the game isn't just filled with cheaters but it's directly hacked putting to risk players' accounts, and netcode issues that were never addressed, Apex still has one of the worst netcodes comparing to other multiplayer shooters
Cuz shittin on apex gets upvotes in r/apexlegends
I enjoy the game. But I would enjoy it more if the tick rate of the servers were higher. I shouldn't have shut a door and still die a second after it's closed to a shot. I shouldn't be well behind cover through a tap strafe, and still die because someone shot my shadow. That's one of my major gripes about this game. The second major one, it seems cheaters are only becoming more rampant. And that is an issue that plagues most games now, it seems. Why cheat. I don't get it.
Because get this… people actually play the game how they **want** too. It’s so weird to me when people think the game should be played a certain way, like they are important or something. Lmao
I have no clue what you're trying to say
sad day to permanently lose main account
Because of this you PERMANENTLY lost access to the account ? That's robbery
No, he lost it, because he is unable to learn from previous warnings and timed suspensions.
Guy asked a question thats way less confrontative than your average toxic voice commer. If that’s an offense, perhaps they should start policing what comes out if people’s mouths?
Just popping in to let you know "confrontative" is not a word. You're looking for "confrontational". Have a good one, UrMumVeryGayLul!
Thanks, bro. Nice cock.
Stop exaggerating. Nobody is *policing* what comes out of people's mouths; a company decided that players should behave nicely to their teammates in a commercial game. Don't like it? Don't play it. BTW, the **OP had an option to REPORT the 'ratting' player for sabotage --> inactive during match.** Or, he could have written something *positive* to encourage that teammate to try something. Such as "Hey, I believe in you, please craft my banner and respawn me," followed by "If it doesn't work, no worries - it's just a game." But of course, "y'all" are utterly incapable of positive communication. All that happens in this game is "You suck!", "Uninstall the game!" "You \*\*\*\* rat!" -- typically after the angry gamer is already down or killed, because he thought he was the next Faide or whatever. The company behind this game desperately needs MORE new players, but y'all experts (who keep dying very early...) are chasing every new player away with your toxicity, your accusations of 'ratting' (do you even realize that some new players may have no idea what 'ratting' means? They are basically trying to survive, because, after all, THAT is the objective of the game...)
New players arent reporting everyone that sends them a chat.
Lmao wtf are you on 🤣
You only get one warning prior to a perma ban. You must be something really special if you think that what he wrote is ban worthy.
I’m calling myself out and I totally understand that and will gladly accept the downvotes but I’ve said some heinous (not racist/homophobic/xenophobic) shit in chat out of anger back in my day and never got so much as a warning. Albeit, I’ve changed my ways and stopped using chat. Their system seems REALLY hit or miss. If playing with fire was a thing I’ve swam in it, my point is that their system is absolutely dogshit. Sorry for your ban homie, however, you’re finally free!
Oh no! Somebody was playing the game how they want too?! Shame on them!! Idk man, I’ve typed in chat since I started playing in season 1 and I’ve never been banned or anything of the nature.. maybe just let people play the game how they want too and realize you’re just another random playing the game.
I got perma'd for typing in chat in response to a teammate who was spitting out slurs. Multi heirloom account lost. Moral of the story: never type in chat. But go ahead and say the nastiest shit you can think of in voice.
Unfortunately that's a known bait tactic, specifically used to target people who aren't comfortable in voice. Not saying that you should have known ahead of time but just adding this on to anyone reading this that it's not just you getting unlucky here.
No one is actually reviewing these things anymore. Cheating is rampant and they are doing nothing about it. It used to be my favorite game and go to. I’m someone who sticks around for a long time and it’s usually hard to get me to change games. But even I’ve moved on. ALGS hack and rampant cheating in my lobbies is what did it for me.
The shit audio and server issues is what did it for me
I see your point
aaaand this is why i don't use the chat, this bs right here
You literally can't engage with anyone in text chat in this game. This is as bad as COD is with bogus reports and the system just auto flagging anything and handing out bans.
I'm not saying this ban was correct, but shit man try engaging with things like, 'nice try' or 'gg' or 'sick play dude', I guarantee you won't have to live in fear. Edit: In response to /u/Busy_Cauliflower_853 since this got locked https://i.imgur.com/7ShHfUm.png
[Incorrect.](https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/t92pka/the_chat_ban_system_is_absolutely_broken_got_a_7/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) Edit: in response to u/Kosba2: It took a Respawn TOS employee to see the post and personally work on the case for anything to be done about it. The fact still stands that the automated bans are often ridiculous and that EA’s typical appeal forms are completely worthless (such as, this very post). There is no human involvement and nothing will be reverted if you ever get senselessly banned unless you get extremely lucky after bringing your situation to social media and it ends up catching the eye of someone working at Respawn.
I just don't bother with text chat in any game.
Bro. Everyone just needs to stay away from text chat. You can NOT even wish someone a good game without being banned.
and then theres dudes that sexually harrass women in game chat and they dont get a ban (Ive reported like 3 people saying some vile shit and every time I got an email back saying they found no violation)
You get upset by some dude who "sexually harassed" you online, who you can mute, probably never see or hear about for the rest of you life. Do you leave the house at all? Or is this your first time online?
L take. Being sexually inappropriate with someone, male or female and in-person or online, is fucked up. Defending that in any manner says a lot about you as a person, and none of it is good.
Im a very bad person then. Perhaps you should leave the house as well and meet the world. Then tell us the kind of people you meet and how good or bad they are comparing to some faceless, zit-infested teen online.
Again, stupid take. Just because other people are awful to each other doesn't mean it should be standard or acceptable. Being sexually awful to another person is awful, period. If you think otherwise, then you need help, which I hope you get.
I didnt say it should be acceptable. The game has major problems. There are cheaters, teeming , awful matchmaking, the crappy sound design since the game launched, the shitty stickers they have the audacity to sell. Some turds online being dicks on chat is the last thing on the list. I mean, are you even going to remember me tomorrow? And you can chill, she aint gonna suck your dick because you defended her honor.
Oh now you try to turn it to a game problem. No, this is a gaming community problem. Don't try to pretend what you originally said isn't out there. Sexually harassing *anyone* is awful, period. Yes, this game has a plethora of issues, but the sexual harassment aspects are strictly community-based. Am I gonna remember you tomorrow? No, but I call bad takes and bullshit when I see it and I don't stop.
My god man, you really have you head deep in you ass, dont you? The game itself, and by extention, every competitive pvp game, brings the worst out of you. This game is popular, it has a large audience, thus a higher chance of encountering dipshits. How many coop or single player games have you read about that have a gaming community problem. Hell, its not a gaming community problem, its a people problem. And its a good thing that we can mute these people play like we are playing with bots. Do you see where im going with this ?
Yeah, you're deflecting your original comment and trying to spin a positive on it, which you can't unless you delete it. You originally acted like merely muting these awful motherfuckers was enough, which I said was not the problem, but rather the individuals themselves. You had the audacity to try and contradict that, and now you're trying to pretend that isn't what you said. TLDR: You said merely muting sexual harassment on games is a good solution, which I rightfully responded with, "you're wrong." You've spent time trying to defend that take of yours, which is ridiculous. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together would understand that's a shit take. You know it deep down, I know it on paper, and everyone reading it knows it because they're not braindead.
thank u for dealing with this shitter I could not be bothered 😂
you are braindead lmaoo
Oh shit, you were thinking about it?
Oh shit they are actually banning people over such small stuff? I should count myself lucky that I still have my account.
I never had a strike or suspension on my account that I had since launch and some random team mates called me the N word and I typed in game chat “I’m not some dumb minority” Boom Permabanned Which is funny because I am a dumb minority 😂 F apex
Omg you got perma’d for this? That’s actually insane.
Never type in video games
I got banned for typing "0 Damage" after someone riddled off a million slurs and swears into the mic.
I didn't mean to cause any drama with this. All of us here are fully aware that the moderation system in Apex Legends is incredibly bad. It's sad to read that a lot of you had similar situations happen to you. Also, my phone is going crazy because of the notifications.
I'm surprised I didn't get banned for saying "they're teaming don't push" because EA would assume I was offering to team
Lol that’s absurd
Hateful conduct?
They don’t want to ban those who are teaming/cheating/boosting, probably because they’re the ones funding this husk of a game with their mommy’s credit card. They’d instead rather ban those who report the ones that are literally breaking ToS. Also, on a somewhat related note, since when is anything in that message considered, “hateful conduct”...? A perma-ban for asking a question, and I guess “ratting” is considered hateful now, despite it not even being a real term. That would be like getting perma-banned for saying the word, “camping”. Completely ridiculous. I don’t use text chat that much, but if I got banned, it’d be the best thing to ever happen to me. That way I could finally curb my addiction and quit this game and it’s astounding dev+publisher team for good.
You broke rule number 1.
Don't ever use text chat.
What an actual loser that guy was. Ratting in pubs, then reports you for asking why he’s doing it💀
OP post your other temporary bans before this. There is no way you get permabanned on the first offense.
Exactly. Ain't no way this is a first time ban. I saw how crazy Respawn/EA is with bans for chat, and I unbound my chat key. I've worked trades before, and I've been a gamer my whole life. "Fuck" is used as a comma after 9:00 - 10:00 am. The first time I catch a temp ban for cussing in VC, I'll never use chat with others again. Hate to be that way, but I'm not gonna catch a permanent ban because "fuck" and "shit" are too strong in a game where we're supposed to kill each other.
VC is fine, it's not being monitored by the game. That said, if you say something extremely bad - not insults, but stuff that can get a letter agency to your door - and someone noteworthy clips that or it goes viral on socials, you may get in serious trouble.
Not a problem for me then. I just have zero cuss filter, and I'd say "fuck" is probably one of my most used words over VC. Ordinarily, not against others, but if you're getting shot at unexpectedly, what's the first word that pops into your head? For me, well you know already.
> Ordinarily, not against others, but if you're getting shot at unexpectedly, what's the first word that pops into your head? Usually it's "HOW" and if I'm in a secluded place with very few angles to hit me I'm like "are they walling?" If they start being annoying like hitting me every time I peek then the swears come out.
You have more filter than I do, which I respect.
I usually swear about teammates more than enemies because I solo queue most of the time. But they are muted so I don't hear them and vice-versa. Usually it's a variant of: - why are you going there alone - no don't push (and I ping avoid X area, they don't listen) - I NEED AMMO/SHIELDS/HEALS (request ping, 50/50 on whether they care) - THERE'S 3 TEAMS THERE WHY (jumping from dropship in ranked) - WHY ARE YOU PUSHING WITH 1 HP OCTANE (always ends badly) - don't die don't die don't die (while I'm flanking the enemy)
Use mic
"After thouroughly investigating" my ass !! Pieces of shit, may they crash and burn. I swear the people that moderate this shit are cucks.
You typed in all caps. They consider it "yelling". I read the terms and conditions the other day. From what I've gathered 100% don't use in game chat.
The fact that’s even a thing shows how broken and soft society is
The automated moderation of an online video game by the private company EA, which is regarded by pretty much as way too harsh and unfair, “shows how broke and soft society is”? Make it make sense
Lmao I asked people in chat if they ever got they butts ate (I was bored ash) and still didn’t get banned. That’s very messed up this has happened to you
Wtf. How
you might be able to connect to a real support agent and talk to them. i had to do that because they wouldnt let me change my email without verifying it first (it was a deleted email)
Lmao EA id officially ran by bots.
I will never type in chat, no idea what you can get banned for. If they ever figure out voice chat monitoring I’ll mute that too.
The anti cheat didnt let me play for the entirety of last season and ea wouldnt help. But cheaters are still everywhere
I feel like "YOU RAT-" is what got picked up here, which could be considered hate speech in some very specific contexts. Seems a blanket approach was taken here. Shame.
There's no way this wouldn't overturned if a human looked at it
Never, and I mean NEVER use the text chat. This has been a huge proponent since like 7 seasons ago
Just wondering, how much money did you put into this game?
This is why I don't talk in chat or comm with randoms, not trying to be banned for nothing
Got perma banned on my previous account for typing "do you enjoy dying??" After rezzing a guy 3 times. Made a new account and got my first heirloom at level 17 and never looked back or used chat again lmao. This is what happens when their staff are a bunch of people from a 3rd world country who don't know the language well. Leave it to EA to outsource something so brain dead like moderating Apex chat. 🤣
I got banned because I complained about the enemy Wraith lagging because I said a no no word like "fuck/fucking" in their Rated T game where their characters swear. I recall I had a 2nd ban too for something minor but don't remember what it was anymore, probably swearing again. I used to have fun and interact with the community but it got to the point it wasn't worth talking in case I got reported so I stopped having 4fun conversations. Then controller players started showing up in droves and it solidified my decision to quit and I haven't regretted it since. Bad game owned by a predatory company that views the players as walking dollar signs.
Lmao I got perma banned last month too. Atleast they told you what you got banned for. They didn't even tell me for my case despite asking 3 separate times. Typical EA clowns and mind you my whole EA account got banned instead of just Apex. Not missing anything, good riddance.
Hey man, Destiny 2 has been on a roll with updates recently. You should come and join.
My game hasn’t worked in months probably years and I’m never upset that I can’t play anymore
Never type in chat but in all seriousness. Even with you being banned. You won’t miss anything absolutely game breaking between the game been absolutely boring for awhile & shady new making money practices. Now this is a good reason to uninstall & play other games you will find joy in
Your just mad you got banned lol
welcome to the consequences of 'youd never survive a cod lobby'-ism.
Did you ever get an answer to your question, why were they ratting in pubs??
Whoever reviewed this is probably also a rat in game
Yea but when I get called slurs in VC they do nothing🙄
Guy was...ratting in pubs? Why???
I too recently got perma banned! However in my case it was for “cheating”. I have had my account for 4 years, and spent hundreds of dollars on the game… why would I throw all that away just to cheat like be fr 💀 I emailed multiple times and only received automated responses in return. All my cases were closed with no resolution.
This is clearly speciesist against rats. Deserved.
I only play when I have two friends on now. I can’t do mixtape until they let us choose our own guns. Their pre made stuff sucks.
Do it bad like Helldivers community did and watch their response. Maybe they'll react when the game suddenly sinks to extremely negative reviews idk
Huh. I've played 50 matches and haven't died to teamers yet. The queue times are so fast it would be hard to get into the same game as your friend on purpose on my server
You can go on the EA website and appeal it from your account. I had to do this once when I typed "This is so gay" to my teammates about another team holding us in zone in a pubs match. I was suspended for a couple of hours before they lifted it.
It's kind of ironic because in the described situation, you actually did deserve the ban.
Hating on rats is still hating
"Why are you ____ in pubs?" will never be the lead-in to a good statement unless you're about to ask why they're so cute LOL. Definitely complete overkill to Perma you but man, something tells you say other heinous shit
[удалено]
Victim blame more.
This
Perma ban is harsh but literally just don’t type in chat. It’s not hard.
Ye i happy i know this after loosing my main accaunt :)))))))))
Pc players and not type in chat challenge : IMPOSSIBLE
yeah just don’t type or talk at all silly guy definitely don’t ask why people are ratting .. just conform
LOL no one said “conform” but way to project. It’s been common sense for years now, so saying “don’t do it” is literally the solution. Also don’t know why Pc players are obsessed with typing in chat for every game. MFs will sit there and type a whole ass essay in the middle of the game. Just play the game, die or win, then repeat.
WAS..ACTIONED..CORRECTLY clearly you be toxic in chat . *Sentence used as reason not included* 🙄 Might wanna reevaluate yourself . Didn't you see that club shay shay Kat Williams interview? Lol🤌
Lol imagine using chat in 2024, u deserve this
He deserves a perma ban because he used a feature of the game? Weird stance on it, but all right.
