This is an email I received from Jat after I helped them fix a bug, and after I stopped playing the game. I noticed a few months later when I loaded the game to play again that they banned me along with many other people. I reached out to support to ask why I was banned, and was told they do not discuss bans or allow appeals.

I understand a lot of people are in favor of bans because you imagine that they are banning only dupers/meshers/etc. Hopefully everyone realizes that it could be you getting banned as well and you are in a position to have to beg Wildcard to give you what you paid for.

The thing is bans don't work anyways, because the real cheaters just family share their game to an alt account and continue on. It only hurts legitimate players.

Bans are only issued after we have researched the situation. In some cases bans are handed out not for abusing the exploit itself but benefiting from it (for example, a player isn't playing in a mesh base but their tribe mate stores all their valuables and dinos there to keep them safe). As such, we do not overturn bans that we have solid proof of fault for.

Accounts that only have the game through family share are unable to connect to our official server network.

Unless this is a recent change to the family share, I know for a fact I used to have multiple accounts running on my ps4 on official.

I am referring to PC bans.
