An Injustice to True Fans of For Honor | Forums

[DD-777]

Recently, a friend of mine was banned from For Honor due to suspicious activity. His case was reviewed and it was determined that the ban was valid. I am upset by this injustice that has been acted out on him. This man, who's name in-game is BrokeMyClass, had over 2000 hours in this game, had stuck around for every season, and had participated in helping nurture the community. His reward was a permanent ban for being too good.

To start, this guy has a server on Discord that has roughly over 500+ players who actively play For Honor. He consistently goes on this server and forms groups of 4 players - he actually makes more than one group of 4 players - for people to go in and play dominion. He helps the community by not only getting people to play, but also by giving people opportunities to make positive memories with others on For Honor that reinforces the want to play it.

Secondly, he put over 2000+ hours into this game, 2000 PLUS HOURS. He's attended every event, lived through all the metas, played all the seasons, and this has made him a highly skilled player who would no doubt probably receive many reports because he's just that good. The fact that no one would investigate this case further just shows you how much these developers "care." They don't even know the first thing about this man, but they consider his ban justified. Banning him throws all that time invested out the window, which can never be returned to him.

Thirdly, He loves this game, playing it daily - he even made a smurf account after the ban. For this to be done should be an insult to everyone who's dedicated time to this game. Why? Because it shows you the developers don't care if the ban is truly warranted and that some other highly skilled player could be next on chopping block because someone couldn't handle a match without throwing a tantrum. Someone who's put many hours trying to reach the peak of what skill is in this game should not be punished for it.

That's why the community should rally to help try and get this man his account back. Remove BrokeMyClass' ban!

So apparently he has done something that is against For Honor's Code of Conduct and has done enough of it to get busted and reported enough times to get noticed by the staff and banned, then at a review it was decided to be a valid ban based on the evidence available. Case closed.

Believe it or not, Ubisoft are competent enough to know when a player deserves a ban or not. Such as when a player is just good and receiving salty reports, or actually valid reports. Especially if it has been reviewed and still found to be valid.

The man has over 2000 hours. Do you realize how many people could've been angry just because they got beat by someone leagues better then them in that time and proceeded to report him to try and mend their egos? His ban wasn't justified and suspicious activity is too ambiguous for me to believe otherwise. Especially of what I know of BrokeMyClass. There are also plenty of cases where highly skilled players are band due to their high skills. This, I think, is one of them.

I disagree. Any company is capable of making mistake. Just look at how some of Ubisoft's games failed due to lack of quality. It's unrelated to this reviewing reports of suspicious behavior, but it shows that mistakes can be made even by large corporations. I believe that this ban isn't justified.

Completely unrelated, so why bring it up? I’ll bring something that is related up though.

Rainbow six siege, a game also made by Ubisoft has a prominent streamer and all round good guy called Macie Jay. He would have put thousands of hours into Siege over its lifespan. He once got banned live on his stream, and he stated he had never cheated. In fact I’m pretty sure he’s been banned multiple times. There’s the mistake on Ubisoft’s part. Now here is the difference. Macie Jay appealed the bans, and each time the ban was found to be a mistake and his appeal was successful and ban removed. Your mate appealed his ban, but turns out the ban was correctly implemented.

So mistakes are made, but also rectified. If your mate lost his appeal, I doubt it was a mistake

If Ubisoft took the time to perma-ban someone, reviewed it, said it was valid, then your friend got banned fora reason.

Whatever that reason is, we do not know, but you can do a lot of good and still be scum down underneath that.

Case and point: Bill Cosby. Hero to so many, found out to be scumbag.


Your friend probably deserves his ban and if that is the case then nothing about that should change it. Doesn't matter how much he plays, how many friends he have, how good he is, how popular he is, etc. None of that is relevant if you break the rules this bad.

I brought it up to point out that large corporations are fallible. I still stand by my belief in the case that this man doesn't deserve his ban. I've played countless matches with him and in that time have never experienced anything suspicious. He's a skilled player, that's it. With over 2000 hours too, which means there's plenty of time for enough disgruntled players to report him because they were upset that the match making system put them up against someone leagues better than them and they decided that he was cheating.

This man is nothing like Bill Cosby and, if he is, I'd drop this immediately. I believe that he didn't do anything to deserve the ban. He wouldn't break the rules, especially when he's dedicated so much time to the game. It would be wasteful.

That’s the point your not seeing. It’s the exact same as Macie Jay. He dedicated so much time to Siege, streamed and made money off the game and was still banned, potentially because he was so good people reported him for cheating, and because he was so well known people would just report him anyway. He got his account fully restored after appealing, multiple times after multiple false bans. Your mate didn’t get his account back after appealing and that can only mean he broke the code of conduct or cheated. It doesn’t matter what you believe, because you can still be wrong. If you can’t see that I’m not gonna bother anymore. You never know someone until you’ve seen them at their worst, and maybe your just refusing to see that someone you perceive to be good can cheat. A true fan wouldn’t contest Ubisoft making the right call and banning a cheater, and even revising the ban and keeping it in place. This is justice, and it tastes sweet.
