Dostal som ban na punkbuster, vie mi niekto povedať za čo? Nikdy som nič nelegálne nepoužíval! I got a punkbuster ban, can anyone tell me what? I never used anything illegally! ---

The same with me, but it seems my account has been hacked. Look like Even Balance does not respond or unban. So what do I do now? Buy a new game? Do I need a new account? ---

Hi therizz72, I get a different message every time I try to enter a server. For eg: Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player ‘makpoena’ (for 1 minute) … Cheater banned by [GGC-Stream.NET](http://GGC-Stream.NET). Ban on GUID 8cce1f4d35c32c9670c994c440f804ee. Contact [GGC-Stream.NET](http://GGC-Stream.NET) for details. Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player ‘makpoena’ (for 5 minutes) … Player makpoena kicked by ACI LiveSecure for ACI-PB-VIOLATION-71559-BF4 [Admin Decision] Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster permanent ban issued on this Game Server for player ‘makpoena’ … GLOBAL PunkBuster GUID BAN 40f804ee. Before these it was for a whole list of hacks. I also dont seem to find my ban listed anywhere. EA guys helped me last night to improve my online security and confirmed my account was hacked. ---

I see your ban on GGC. You will need to appeal your ban there.But i do not see a global ban with punkbuster. ---

GGC is a martyr tool for abusers, it wont even let you appeal, it’s all fake. ---

I got nowhere fast, EA and GGC confirmed I was Hacked and still PB would not lift my ban. What the hell??? Seem like a scam, because now I have to buy the games again. ---

Not their job to take care of your purchase. Plenty of ways to prevent it from getting stolen. Unless they got a leak, which isn’t the case afaik. ---

This is because it is all but confirmed that your **account** was used to cheat, And in their eyes there will always be the potential that the account would be used to cheat again in the future. Your account security is your own responsibility, Enabling 2 factor authentication is a surefire way of ensuring only you have access to your account. ---

This is not a solution, I had 2-stage verification all the time and I got a ban as well. the reason is on PunkBuster’s side ---

I was sent a false positive by some “/$%”$%&?/$%?“$/%”%&/$%?&“$%%?/$”%/$?&$%?_&/$%%?!"%?&%?&_/%?&“$%?/?\*&/%??&”$%? I wrecked with his cheat, I find it hilarious that you can’t track cheaters, but you let their ability to send false positives available. ---

They wont let me explain it, they mute me and now I’m next to forum ban. ---

I’m saying I can’t have been for multihacking while my account remained secure and never even felt the need to look for cheats, I’m sure the cheaters I played with 2 weeks ago, cuz it’s been that freaking long, are still playing with their hacks on and still not getting banned. Why is it that I without cheating get banned for cheating. I claim complete and utter on this, I know what’s going on but everytimes I say it I get deleted or banned. ---

I also got a global ban on 13., sent them a ticket and it seems like they just don’t care… I’ve played 90 hours of BF4 and met a ton of cheaters, 2K+ hours in CoD2, 1K+ in CoDMW and a couple more in other games and its always the same. They just don’t care because they get nothing from really looking at those bans and maybe unbanning innocent people. A couple of hate messages and it’s done 0 minutes wasted on being a reliable company… ---

Send them an email and notify them of the false positive. I got this address from EA Tech Support: [[email protected]](https://battlefieldforum.co/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection) This is all we can do… if enough of us complain… i guess… sigh…
