Urgent Attention Needed: Investigation into Ongoing False Ban Wave in Escape From Tarkov (EFT)
To the Escape From Tarkov Team, and specifically to @nikgeneburn, @domontovich
I am writing on behalf of myself and a large segment of the community to request immediate attention and transparency regarding the recent surge in false bans.
The current ban wave is reportedly impacting a significant number of loyal, legitimate players. Community estimates, based on the scale of the issue, suggest that the percentage of innocent accounts caught in these bans is substantially higher than the historical 1% estimation.
For context:
The October ban wave reportedly affected 8,000 accounts. Even at the historical 1% rate, this means 80 innocent players were wrongfully banned, resulting in the loss of their hard-earned accounts and purchases.
You acknowledged "a lot of false positives" and ongoing anti-cheat issues during Pestily's stream on November 12th.
Given these confirmed issues, the current false positive rate could potentially be as high as 5% or more, which would translate to 400 or more innocent bans based on a similar 8,000-account wave.
Every wrongfully banned player represents a dedicated customer who has been unfairly scammed out of their investment. Furthermore, the current appeal process is failing; submitted tickets are frequently ignored or closed without proper investigation.
We urge you to:
Acknowledge and publicly address the community concern about this specific false ban wave.
Temporarily pause or significantly increase the scrutiny on new anti-cheat bans until the false positive issue is fully resolved.
Implement a functioning, timely appeal process where tickets from loyal players are genuinely reviewed.
We deserve a fixed anti-cheat system and a fair pathway to appeal.
