If you are talking about the changes of the company, there are reasons for that beyond just becoming a vassal instead of an indie. When DE was indie; they had freedom but needed financial support and a a loyal audience. Warframe with its founders and oft excited and enthusiastic playerbase covered the audience part while founders helped fund the game, they weren't enough to keep it profitable. To this end DE was still looking for backers and other jobs that it might be able to do on the side. Eventually they got Leyou, and while the audience was still useful; it was less necessary since Leyou had the coin as long as Warframe itself could remain profitable - and it was still doing well on that front - but there was talk of audience and Dev fatigue and this is covered in Devstreams here and there. Milestones promised and in times missed; so new investors in Leyou wanted DE to meet deadlines or to sell out their increasing stake in the company - ultimately to their own backer - who was Tencent. Does this answer your question? Its not just money, but DE is a company and to a company profit is all. With enough money, they weren't as beholden to the audience and they still have a good enough loyal playerbase even if "veterans" who have their shinies leave.
OP, if you are sure your position is right and true, why are you not discussing the matter with Digital Extremes directly?
If you have unimpeachable proof of your innocence or that you are a victim, why are you not taking these proofs to Digital Extremes?
Public forums are not, and have NEVER, been a venue to discuss account issues with company or government organization customer support agents. Not for taxes, utilities, automobiles, appliances, and so on. Especially not for live-service computer games.
If you have any "dirty laundry" at all, the last place you should ever imagine to air it out is in public, on the Internet. Politicians do this all the time and it always comes back to bite them in the buttcheek.
Maybe rethink your "strategy" and communicate with DE. Don't bring it here.
I would wager that one of the reasons so many of these threads exist, here and on the main forums as well as Reddit; is that DE Support is not resolving as many of these issues in a way that helps the user understand the issue at hand and help correct the situation. I know in the past through just my own experience on these forums, let alone my own play that the response from DE Support can vary to put it simply. If it were a matter for my field, these kinds of threads would be triggering reviews of staff and procedure in those departments,
heh? But I already played for 12 years and I didn't spend a lot of money (a few bucks) and no ban whatever. You are fine for chat, don't write violent or spam-ban words unless you are the person who likes to run into the rain of bullets.
Before I retired, our customers tried the same thing and it never worked. Beyond our TOS, we had a duty to follow US and EU privacy laws because my employer back then is a GPS navigation and location-based services provider, with product operating in automobiles, in plug-in GPS modules (for transport and logistics clients), and separate apps on mobile devices.
If customers were having difficulties with their account and/or billing, we could not have conversations via forum posts or even live-chat; it had to be voice-only and through phones. Our CSR's could not even continue their calls if the customer was using VOIP - a restriction that was introduced because we had government clients.
For DE, when it comes to account and billing issues, I imagine that they have a few similar restrictions. Ultimately, you do not discuss account, security, and billing problems on a public forum. Ever.
In these cases, folk like this are here venting it usually seems or using these as akin to negative reviews - which the review section for the game store exists for - due to how DE Support can one day help above and beyond while another close your ticket without discussion and ban you from even logging into support often without even sending the email for why this has happened as company policy states. This is not a professional response when this happens; which is why just searching by these threads there are hundreds of players that have had these exact same situations. Like I said, performance reviews.
