Hey Guys,
I appreciate the great work you (together with punkbuster) do making BC2 playable. A friend of mine got a ban and I believe it is a GUID based global ban. I know the sticky says not to start new topics about global bans, but I could really use your help and don't know who else to contact.
I have followed your appeal process and started a trouble ticket with Even Balance.
[Removed]
They insist that the ban is valid and refuse to provide any additional information. As I describe in the trouble ticket, this doesn't make any sense to me.
I don't know what to do at this point.
Can you guys tell me anything else about the ban?
If you had a friend in this situation, what would you do?
Obviously, one solution is to change out his CD Key, EA account, and make hardware alterations to change his GUID. However, he isn't using a cheat, so I don't know how to remove whatever caused the ban (false positive) and I have to assume he'll just be banned again right away.
To the extent you are reluctant to discuss how to circumvent a ban in a public forum, feel free to PM me.
Alternatively, if I've got this all wrong and Dave really was using an aimbot, could you provide me some evidence and I'll give up on this.
Thanks,
Will
