Battlefield 4 BANNED from Official Servers - Salt Included
26,586Mainly just want to bring more attention to this so it doesn't carry over to future Battlefield titles.
The main issue being admins of Official type servers being able to ban players from a server running as Official. Running as Official makes it so they get seeded by EA/DICE's back-end with players that use the "join now/play now" feature in Battlelog. However because it is set to Official it means they are all supposed to run the same server to server when set to Official. It also means they don't have access to commands like kick/ban. In order to be able to use those types of commands admins are supposed to change their servers to Ranked.
However some admins are now abusing access to PB files provided by some server rental providers to place manual bans that require a server restart to enforce. This means they get their servers seeded by EA and they can remove anyone they want even though it violates TOS for servers running as Official.
Yes I've spoken to DICE devs about it. I understand their decision not to address it for BF4 and I hope it is addressed for any future Battlefield title.
No this isn't an IP ban like the one many players got from servers like AOD and Cain's Lair in the past.
It appears KGB changed their server to Ranked now. I don't have a problem from being banned from Ranked servers I'm more concerned about it happening when it shouldn't be possible.

Forgot to mention the title is a bit "click-batey". I'm not banned from all Official type servers however I am banned from multiple so that is the reason for the plural for servers.
