Banned on console. Thought it was for telling someone to eat a dick, but...
it wasn't.
This happened Monday May 18th. In the middle of a match, just being chased by Rocketeer on Blue Gate. Usually in PvE queues. In the middle of fighting the Rocketeer I get a pop-up that says something along the lines of "You account has been blocked. For more info: Scan QR Code". When I scan the QR code, it just brings up the support page.
I for sure thought this was some sort of mistake. Maybe a glitch. When I tried to log back in, it says the servers can't be reached. I thought maybe the servers went down or something. When I reboot the game, I get an error message that says "Online Services are currently unavailable." I thought maybe it was because I told a raider to eat a bag of dicks for acting friendly and then killing me earlier in the day. I created a support ticket as technical issue and didn't receive a response. I then created another support ticket for a ban appeal, thinking it would say "You said derogatory things to another player". I get a reply today saying that the ban is confirmed for cheating. I'm on PS5. I thought this was some sort of mistake. I ended up looking online how one would cheat on console. I play on console specifically because PC cheaters are annoying AF in online games like this. I didn't know you could get these peripherals for console that allow you to play with all kinds of advantages or whatever. I'm poor, definitely not buying those things even if I could play good with a KB and Mouse.
Basically, how do you appeal an appeal? This seems a bit wild
EDIT I appreciate the positive messages and attempts to help. I also appreciate the criticism. I get it. Cheaters gonna cheat. There's no way of me being able to convince anyone that I wasn't cheating. I salute you for completely following your corporate overlords decisions with no way of appealing without some AI chat bot.
Ultimately, once this temporary ban is lifted, I just need to know what the heck to look out for or adjust? I don't know. Then I start playing again and get another ban that's permanent. That's not cool at all. I'd be willing to bet there's something with wrong their brand new anti-cheat denuvo, or whatever.
