We, the undersigned members of the EA gaming community, call on Electronic Arts (EA) to immediately review and reform the implementation of its new Javelin anti-cheat system. While we support fair play and strong anti-cheat measures, many legitimate players are being wrongfully banned based on false-positive detections, with little to no recourse or transparency in the appeal process.

Why This Matters:

Players invest significant time, money, and emotional energy into EA’s titles. Being banned unjustly not only strips players of their access to games they legally purchased, but it also causes stress, frustration, and a breakdown of trust in EA as a publisher.

Our Demands:

1.) A Public Review of the Javelin system’s detection methods and how false positives are identified and handled.

2.) A Transparent Appeal Process where users can view evidence related to their ban and receive meaningful, timely responses.

3.) Temporary Suspensions First — not permanent bans — especially when detections could be due to system errors or software conflicts.

4.) Dedicated Support Staff trained to assist users dealing with anti-cheat issues and wrongful bans. EA must move beyond automated email responses and bots that offer no real resolution or accountability. Players deserve access to real human representatives who can investigate individual cases thoroughly and fairly.

5.) Community Involvement in developing fair anti-cheat standards.

6.) Game-Specific Audits and Adjustments — including Apex Legends, Battlefield, and EA Sports FC — to ensure the Javelin system is properly calibrated for each game’s mechanics and does not unfairly target players based on legitimate in-game behavior or third-party software commonly used by streamers, pros, or casual players.

We urge EA to listen to its community and take these concerns seriously. Anti-cheat tools should protect gamers — not punish them unfairly.
