Activision received a false permanent ban

i downloaded call of duty on steam and having my shaders finished when bo6 comes out i close the game then the next day i receive a ban ive been using unautorized software and manipulation of game data. How is it possible literally banning innocent people.. I dont even play warzone, mw2 or mw3 i was ready to try out the beta i received a code from treyarch on twitter. Never touched any form of cheating software or done anything ever. Now i have a false vac ban on my steam profile please fix this issue.

Activision Falsely Permanent Ban

I am a long time call of duty player. I have the latest game installed on my Xbox. I recently went in to play a few matches with my friends only to find out I have been banned for using unauthorised software and manipulating game data. I have no idea where that came from. Furthermore, I have invested so much time (20+ days of playtime) and so much money (over $400); why would I risk all of that. I have been a call of duty fan since COD4. Make this right.

Activision [censored] game and [censored] anti cheat.

call of duty has been in a horrible state. i got shadowbanned for playing the game normally and i got one of my accounts deleted for also playing the game properly, activision is nothing but a krab that loves money they also dont care about the cod community at all, instead of listening they just release a bundle and a camo and pretend they are listening to the community. also the anti cheat sucks [censored], they release a update then 1 day later the cheat devs release a patch to their cheat so it becomes undetected again.

Recommendation: dont buy the recent mw games. only buy mw19 to world at war (advanced warfare, infinite warfare, black ops 3 and 4 can be a expection if u think those games are bad. and make sure to use a vpn on the games i just mentioned or ur ip will get leaked)

Activision Activision blames customers for their security issues

A hacker was able to access my Activision account and link a steam account without any kind of email confirmation. This user was unable to play call of duty MW3 under my name on their steam account. When I noticed, friends were being added, that I did not add, and I started being kicked off-line, because there were too many user request for my account, I reached out to Activision for support. I also reset my password to ensure anyone with a I also reset my password to ensure anyone with unauthorized access would be kicked out. They did not respond in a timely manner. As a result, the hacker was able to play a considerable amount enough to warrant a ban. When I tried to appeal the case, and explained that I had taken all of the steps that a person should take in this case to secure my account, Activision declared as the account holder it is my fault for any unauthorized access. I will never again purchase an Activision game or any Activision affiliated game.

Recommendation: Do not play Activision games.

Activision Mixed Feelings About Activision Blizzard, Inc

As I delve into the reviews of Activision Blizzard, Inc., I find a mix of sentiments that paint a complex picture. While some users praise the engaging gameplay and dynamic tournaments, others express frustration with technical issues, poor customer service, and unfair bans. It's evident that the community is divided, with concerns ranging from game crashes and glitches to accusations of corporate greed. Despite the polarizing feedback, one thing is clear - Activision Blizzard, Inc. evokes strong emotions and opinions among its player base.

Activision Greedy scum. On the path to being more greedy than EA

So recently, I have been playing warzone 2, DMZ to be specific. They promised us so many fixes with season 2's update and I gota tell ya. The game is worse than ever before. And they do NOTHING about it. They made a, what, 17gig? Update for this game that was nothing but weapon skins, maps and other nonsense that did NOTHING to resolve problems with the game. I give it a 2 star, because they have a really l, REALLY fun game. It's a damn shame that it's glitches and buggy as all Hell. This company is more concerned to sell battlepasses and the game itself rather than actually giving a $#*! about its players. For any activision employee that would possibly read this, pull your head out of your $#*!.

Activision I recently got banned on my COD account on blizzard for absolutely no reason

I recently got banned on my COD account on blizzard for absolutely no reason. I have been told that I have been hacking and using software and that is completely false as I have never used anything like that. I've grinded my account for years and to be wrongfully convicted of something like this is wrong, I have tried many many many times to reach Activision to figure out a resolution and nothing about this issue is being helped. It even got to the point where I had to re-buy the game in order to play again, to later find out my account is shadowbanned and that I can't play online with others. I don't understand this as I've done nothing wrong! I can't tell you the amount of times I've complained about how many hackers are on Warzone and Modern warfare and now I'm amongst them?! Please somebody help me as i'm honestly begging for help at this point. I've tried to get in contact through twitter multiple times, tried calling, put out tickets, and now to this. It's just super upsetting at this point. Hopefully I can reach a resolution

Account got perm banned after not logging in for 2 weeks and then playing plunder: blood money for 5 games I have contacted activision support many times but the results are the same, the support just answered: "I was able to confirm that Security actions were taken on your account, unfortunately, as player support we don't have the exact details as to why this happened, however, please be aware that the Enforcement team runs a thorough investigation before taking these actions on the account so all bans are final and not subject to review or appeal, and therefore are irreversible. For more details about this please check our Security and Enforcement policy" I've been playing this game for over a year at most kills is 24 and the next day a shadowban / review is required, but that's okay if it's just a shadowban and not a perm ban, but now i am getting perm banned i hope my old stream can proof i never using cheat or anything https://www.facebook.com/MikkiMiwari I hope you can reconsider I will definitely give a better review when the problem with my account is solved, thanks

I have purchased the game 2 time so I. An play on PC and PS5. I was playing the game and then disconnected from server. Then it said I was permanently banned. I was not cheating at all just playing the game as intended. I feel robbed of my money and now even if I try to creat a new account I get shadow banned after only getting 3-4 kills. Then they review my account and see nothing wrong and let me play again just to be banned again and again

Been playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and I have now been shadow-banned 3 times now the last being only 23 hours after the last. I enjoy playing this game but, keep being punished for no apparent reason. This banning nonsense is getting out of control, Activision really needs to step up and help its player base. PLEASE RESOLVE THIS SO I CAN PLAY WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT BEING BANNED EVERY OTHER DAY!

Activision False bans are discouraging recurring customers

False bans are discouraging recurring customers. Chip in $1,000,000 from your budget towards more competent anticheat devs and quality assurance members. The fact that this passed QA is incredibly concerning. A few stupid implementations I've read/experienced are: - Getting more than 15 kills in WarZone (20 now), gets you shadowbanned until a team member manually reviews your game footage. - Using software distributed by mouse manufacturers to adjust DPI and refresh rate false flags you to be manually reviewed. - If your account gets reported enough, you are automatically due for a manual review. Anticheats should be a dynamic system and need not limit players based on arbitrary values, which are totally achievable by any legitimate player. Your anti-toxicity team should be focused more on interactions between players rather than reviewing gameplay footage triggered by false flags. You are burning money this way. Some members report waiting up to two weeks for their account to be reinstated for false flags. I'll remind you, each of your games come out yearly. You are inducing, what I presume are recurring customers, a whopping 4% of the game's remaining life to COD jail. Most of the players who are getting banned are genuinely good players who actually enjoy the game and are more receptive to buying microtransactions. The entire system is a money pit, the game itself has minor bugs here and there, but nothing that surpasses the severity of this.

Got put under review today and cant load a lobby of any game mode. Have never cheated and dont have the slightest clue as to how this happened. Have spent countless hours and lots of $ on this game grinding. Pretty disheartening to potentially lose everything over what is likely someone spam reporting mid match. I feel like Im one of the few remaining people that actually still enjoy this game. Really hope that this is resolved soon and doesnt result in a perma ban :/

A few days ago I logged onto warzone on my PS4 and there was an update. Once it finished updating, it made me log into my activision account again. However, it would not let me log in. So I tried resetting my password *** it would not send me the resent link. Then I signed up for another activision account using the same email and my PSN account was linked to it. Once I got into warzone on my PS4, I saw that all my stats had disappeared along with everything that I had bought from the store (season 3 battle pass, all previous battle passes, several operators that I had bought including Nikto, etc.). My activision ID was also changed. This is extremely frustrating as I have spent a lot of money on this game and have over 36 days played with 150 wins. I have screenshots of my previous account along with many YouTube vids of me playing. I have submitted an account recovery ticket but have not gotten a response yet. Please help me out!

Activision I'm emailing you to passionately ******* that you allow for Shoot-the-Ship to be a permanent option in Multiplayer

I'm emailing you to passionately *** that you allow for Shoot-the-Ship to be a permanent option in Multiplayer Mode
Based on the "COD Players only want one thing" playlist naming alternatives, I believe you are aware of its popularity. I 'm sure I'm not the first, but I wanted to address [whoever] directly. I don't need to tweet this, and put it on some public Reddit forum for virtual support. I want to go straight to the source. I'm emailing every relevant email address I could find online, because you all don't make it easy to contact, or make us feel it's been received.
I implore you to allow us to indulge in the game modes we enjoy. Isn't that what gaming is all about? Let meindulge. Otherwise, when the maps alternate between Chesire Park and th dreaded Tank Factory, I'm going to be apt to grow up and stop gaming for the night. I'm 30+ yrs old, and I'm not inclined to play game modes/maps that bore me to an early bedtime so I can complete my honey-do tasks in the morning.Â
During these pandemic times, gaming is the only interaction I have with most of my friends. Many of my friends have not moved on to the new Cold War game because of the strain on resources. If one of our friends can't afford to update, then none of us will move on. (This was an issue in previous games as well when we could not spend the money for add-on maps)

Activision earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%

Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds Activision to be a trustworthy company. Although there's a 3% resolution rate for customer complaints, which deserves attention, Activision is known for their high standards and safety. If you're thinking about dealing with Activision, it's wise to check how they handle complaints.

We found clear and detailed contact information for Activision. The company provides a physical address, phone number, and 2 emails, as well as 5 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

Activision has received 14 positive reviews on our site. This is a good sign and indicates a safe and reliable experience for customers who choose to work with the company.

The age of Activision's domain suggests that they have had sufficient time to establish a reputation as a reliable source of information and services. This can provide reassurance to potential customers seeking quality products or services.

  • There was some difficulty in evaluating or examining the information or data present on the activision.com. This could be due to technical issues, limited access, or website may be temporarily down for maintenance or experiencing technical difficulties.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Activision. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

The reason why I'm banned after my account was compromised I created a 2fa and Unlinked the accounts that were not mine. As per the instructions from Activision on your recovery page. I then created the account recovery but due to the 2Fa I created and unlinking accounts. The account shows that there are no issues other that the Ban.

However, these user reports are made by people who are upset they lost a fight or have no actual understanding of the other player. I purchased the battlepass and operators to play...

Activision Voice communication

The AI system in place needs to be fixed I got hard char banned for not even saying anything this automated bs is killing off the game, you also make it so you can not appeal the ban when you boast about how the in game audio is recorded! So that being said make it a ban that is appealable so you can review audio and allow people that have been wrongfully comm banned to be relieved of this as this is unfair and unjust

Desired outcome: A new system to be put in place to allow for appeals of comm bans

Activision Chat in lobby

Hello, I got a chat ban for 14 days in mw3. I was not even saying anything, there was 5 other people saying worse things than anything i said and they did not get a penalty, but I call the guy dumb and I get banned? I really am sorry and I am not trying to be toxic to the community, I hope all can be forgiven and i get my ban appealed, because I am truly sorry. It seems like i keep getting a chat ban for anything i say or text.

I am writing to request a review and resolution of the ban on my Call of Duty account. For the past four months, I have been in continuous communication with Activision support regarding this issue, but it has not yielded any results. My account was breached by a foreign Xbox account, which led to my ban. Following the instructions provided by the...

So I am currently permanently banned from a game I have never cheated on and never in any way manipulated the game data of. Activision support has been very unresponsive in this entire process. If there is any reason for me being banned under this condition it would be because I changed my account email from my fathers to my own, both containing my last...

There was no issue at that time and I concluded playing for the evening. I...
