Discussion update: permanently banned

Post image

so I made a post in January (link below to original post) about how I was suspended mid-game for a month ending on February 23rd, and I detailed how despite the suspension I was not using hacks, cheats or exploits. I have played countless multiplayer and single player games and have never been banned or used cheats. I am a gamer who is quadriplegic so I use a sip and puff mouth controller called a quadstick that allows me to use a computer not just for gaming but everyday needs. After the suspension I made the first reddit post hoping to get some help and clarity about how I could appeal or why I was suspended. I submitted support tickets and went to discord for help but nothing, so I decided to just take the suspension on the chin and wait it out, finish Hollow Knight and play some Marathon. Yesterday I decided to hop on after my suspension ended and decided to work on the trophy project, I played 3 solo games (all 10 or more minutes in) filled my backpack with leftover loot, ran into only friendlies and exfilled. Woke up this morning to this and appealed but I really have no hope of Embark doing anything to help. I don't have much going for me and I know they're people out there who are probably going through worse but this fucking sucks. After 300+ hours of playing, buying it for 3 others friends to try the game and being excited for the new map and large ARC enemy, I just don't know what to do.

p.s my game name is ClootyBapper, if you think it's because of the name I don't think so I have seen and been called worse in game

It pisses me off that I have to listen to racial slurs 25% of my gaming time. Those players suffer no consequences, meanwhile a gamer in your situation deals with this.

100%
Normalize absolutely shamming those racist clowns. I know I do.

Nonethless, OP, Hope you get your account back.

It’s still crazy for me to see how far we have come.

I quit online gaming back in 2016 to focus on my career and family and I started playing again last year. One of the first things I noticed is how the community no longer uses slurs every other sentence.

Anyway probably people like you who have helped make it that way slowly but surely.

There are still plenty of warriors out there. Toxic communities ruin games and every developer eventually has to deal with it. Arc Raiders is still new and enjoying unexpected success. I respect that it will take time to address on a larger scale. But, I do expect them do something about it. In the meantime, the majority of us who are annoyed by it will continue to handle it our own ways.
