Hello, yesterday I purchased the latest call of duty to burn time until dragonflight. Little did I know I would be permanently banned just 1 hour later, let me explain.
Now I know what you are thinking “just dont cheat” “rekt cheater” “thats what you get” but that is just wrong. I do not cheat or use any game altering software or shady stuff. The game cost me $75 I can’t afford to cheat or risk losing it. I have reached out via twitter, activision ticket, blizzard ticket, and have appealed my ban through activision. So far no ticket responses, only the appeal.
It states: “Your appeal has been reviewed and we’ve confirmed with our security team that your account has been permanently banned for using unauthorized software and manipulation of game data.” The only programs I had running at the time were chrome(youtube for music) , discord, logitech ghub and wallpaper engine.
Many others are getting hit by this false ban. Some think it’s because of overwolf, others logitech ghub. I have no idea what it is, I am not smart enough. But I do know that I didn’t cheat. The worst part is activision is not saying a word about it. It is THEFT.
Save yourself the headache and don’t purchase this game or you could possibly get banned. Or get it through steam, atleast they are giving refunds according to folks that purchased there.
EDIT - Just a little update for interested readers or others going through the same situation. Still no acknowledgment from activision on this major issue concerning the high hundreds if not thousands of innocent customers(seriously, search mw2 ban on twitter). I have since then filed complaints with the Attorney General of California and the Better Business Bureau, will update when I receive further information.
