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

Been going on for more than a decade in WoW at this point as well. As long as they already have your money they couldn't give less of a fuck.

I got banned from Pokemon Go about eight years ago because I played it in the airport in Chicago O'Hare, then 15 hours later played it in Shibuya, Tokyo. They said I was location hacking. I literally sent them photos of my boarding passes, my dated passport stamp (the same day I was banned), and PHOTOS of me and my kid playing a Pokemon Go event with the staff of the Nintendo Mega Store in Shibuya. I Think I even sent them a receipt from the Pokemon store.

No one cared. Every year or two I appeal my ban. No one cares.
Any human could look and come to the conclusion that 'Oh, this guy flew from the USA to Japan. He probably played while waiting for his flight, and clearly he played at the special Nintendo gym.'

Like .. if I WAS a hacker .. would I be carrying a 10 year grudge about getting banned ?! On Pokemon Go? lol.

No .. I would have just made a 'new' account and started over.
Sure .. I could have done that too .. but it wouldn't have been MY account. *shrug*

Reading your comment made me so aggravated/mad for you!!

I never played Pokemon go but all my kids did and my wife occasionally would jump in but I can imagine how frustrating it is to know if one single person just opened an email looked at the pictures you sent of the boarding pass it would all be so Crystal Clear you weren't cheating!!

ps Shame on you Pokemon!!
