BF4DB

[p0mpous]

This has to be one of the dumbest things i have ever seen.

They ban based on accounts have the same IP and location no matter what.

I would be involved, but I legit don't know what the game is.

Then what does the DB stand for?
Sorry, I'm too lazy to look it up, and I'm also quite tired.

If you ask the server owners to look at your account stats per match they could work something out even if it only means being unable to access the servers from the same IP.

computers on an internet cafe all have different ip addresses and MAC addresses, unless one cheater gets on all the computers and plays from them to create the overlap, otherwise it would be linked to just one computer that would likely get the ban, and unfortunately anyone else using that computer exclusively for their play time would also get hit.

But the fact idiots like this get to decide the fate of someones account on a game they paid for is retarded.

One of them said this too me, this is how childish they.

"@stephen27898, for a guy using DLC weapons on vanilla maps you have quite an opinion on how our system works"

Number one, that is just a really stupid thing to say and very unprofessional when i am just pointing out the basic flaws and given they react like that, it tells me they know its ♥♥♥♥ and they dont care, they are basics morons on a power trip with no care for what they are doing.

To quote Ian Malcom, "you wield it like a kid thats found his dads gun".

Sounds to me like you cheated, complained and they just lowkey mocked your logic for it.

Each to their own. If you have a problem with it, don't use it. They already wrote it down in their terms to follow. Don't tell me you don't read the small print before signing your life over in blood?

Anyways, one other point I was trying to make, is you can't change or control it. Only suggest and set an example. If you dislike something, you can at least point out it's foolish, but try to give a better option in replace of it as well. That's all you can do.

I'll rather move on and do something more productive, such as blacklisting those phishing scam websites advertised on your steam profile comments...

looking increasingly likely my earlier observations are valid, it's just the OP doesn't want to accept the outcome. the thing is the OP tried to attack me earlier on without having a clue in knowing anything about me, he assumed i'm some supporter, but the thing is that this happened to me long ago on another game.

i didn't cheat anything but got banned anyway because my brother decided to exploit and cheat through this game. the both of us got banned, i was annoyed, but once i calmed down and looked around on what i could do, i tried to appeal and it was unsuccessful, accepted it, moved on and forgot about it pretty quickly.

Just a correction for this.

You are thinking of local network IP Addresses and MAC addresses, which are unique per each PC. That's correct. However, the public IP Address (remote internet access) will be the same for all of those within that network, unless the Netcafe actually purchased multiple ISP (Internet Service Providers).

The Netcafe would have to prevent USB thumbsticks and various other external sources, plus block online access to download or copy and install cheats on any of their PCs in that network, as all of them would be affected by just one cheater. Now Netcafes normally have deep freeze or clone OS, so upon restarting the PC it ends up with a fresh clean OS each time... but during a random strangers session they can download, install, etc. If the IP Address gets banned by one stupid individual, the Netcafe would likely just remove and boycott the game completely from anyone playing it.

Saying that, is BF4DB even offical and tied in with the game, or is it a third party anti-cheat checker? Similar to how SteamRep.com is to Steam... people report scammers on that, with proof that is verified, but it's not actually part of Steam itself. It's just a reputation system, you can link into.

[BadHusband]

Also you would be banned if you use any VPN, cuz the VPN will host IPs that are used by hackers. BF4DB is breaking TOS all over the place and EA won't do anything about it cuz its a 6-year-old game. This game is doomed.

[Ⓥenom Ⓢnake 🐍]

Yeah.

BF4DB is exactly the same as steamrep. it is not officially associated but uses publicly provided data.

You will get banned from their service. Not battlefield 4. And when they detect any other accounts with similar key information those will get banned to.

Again... Not banned from game, but they will Mark any punkbuster bans for cheating.

And there is a very simple solution. Don't cheat.

Wait, what? Really?
So if my younger brother is playing as well, i get banned?

If you younger brother does anything suspect and they ban him, youll get banned aswell, its just happened to me.

BANNING POLICY

In order for a player ban to be made by BF4DB, the following conditions must be met:

Linked Accounts:

Accounts having overlapping IP and timestamp information will be considered a linked account. Player information streamed to the Service can be used for this purpose.

If an account is currently banned by BF4DB, all other accounts that are positively identified as a linked account will receive a ban for “Linked Account” as well. Similarly, if the main ban successfully appeals, all other alt bans will be lifted.

Accounts having the same Gravatar will be considered linked, and treated appropriately.


This needs a class action lawsuit and im not kidding, this needs to be stopped on principle.

Lol? BF4DB is a third-party anti-cheat and shared ban database for Battlefield 4. If you don't like it then don't play on servers that use BF4DB. You have zero grounds for a lawsuit. That's like trying to sue someone because they won't invite you to boardgame night at their house.

Incorrect, i live with someone who actually has cheated on BF4 on multiple account due to the play time exploit where you can play on official servers and now because of that my only origin account is banned from BF4DB.

What you have just typed is purely moronic, nothing more and nothing less, you cant right ban anyone until you have proof they cheated.

Most servers use it stupidly enough.

How anyone with a brain can think overlapping IP's is a sound method for banning someone is moronic, there are many houses where more than one person plays video games, most families consist of 2.2 children and 2 adults, that means 4.2 people per house, there is a pretty decent chance that multiple of them will play video games as they are one of the most popular method of entertainment, to ban everyone from a similar IP makes less than no sense.

This means that most likely they are banning 3.2 innocent people for every single cheater, they are probably banning people that have never even played, thats retarded.

Its as stupid as banning everyone with the same name in game.

Also to add BF4DB is actually breaching TOS, its banning people with no evidence of cheating.

My name in real life is Stephen im very sure that someone with that same name has comitted murder, so does that mean they should lock me up aswell, i mean i share the same name it might have been me, theres no evidence for it.

[p0mpous]

I'm going to be honest i don't know why i bother with any of you on the internet, this is where idiots like you come to spread your nonsense because no one in real life will accept it, i'm shocked by just how stupid the average internet user is, all of you need to go back to school, all of you.

You all need to take a good long and hard look inside your minds, you will see how stupid you all truly are.

A system that bans based on display pictures, similar names and IP's is not sound, you will ban people who haven't cheated more often than ones that have, its a mathematical certainty, if any of you cant see the stupidity in this then please stop posting on this thread, stop using the internet and go back to the basics of thinking because you are way in over your head in any slightly complex or intelligent conversation.


With all of the information at your fingertips in this generation you have no excuse to be stupid but here you all are, with your lack of critical thinking and your lack of understanding of how basic systems for finding evidence to prevent false positives can and cant work.

Its miraculous the steps forward humanity is taking when people like you are this common, seriously the average adult in this day and age is as dumb as a brick, you are basically door stops that eat, you have all the mental agility of a rabbit dropping.

I done with all of you, go back to licking windows, mashing keys and thinking you have a point, and good luck getting that ice cream machine at McDonald's to work because lets be honest with your brains you wont get any further.
