Hi all! Rumors of EA's switch in banning policy are pouring in. Our friend DerpyMail's got his ban lifted and I've heard of other cases like this too. Not sure yet if using high class cars in low class events will also be deemed as acceptable or not, but at the moment it looks like EA no longer carries a grudge to those who took advantage of their mistake of putting 3 cars in the car dealer with 0 SB price tag on June 19th, 2013. If you have any friends who got banned for this either from EA Forums or from Need for Speed World, please let me know, so I can try to get their bans lifted as well. Jussi

well... try to lift my ban if you can. Driver names on that account: dejanboskov; dejanboskov123; dejanboskov007 and I forgot driver No. 4 which I created by mistake and that driver is on lvl 2. dejanboskov007 is on chicane and the other 2 are on apex.

well... try to lift my ban if you can. But you wasn't banned for abusing Cayman/Charger bug. Sorry for being harsh, but your ban was fully justified. So it would be better for Jussi, if he wasn't involved in attempts to unban you.

Awesome! Well, let's see if I can unbanned from nfstimes now. .-. Some others got unbanned too, well, I'd like to know who actually. Also Jussi, if you can get GTRX1970 unbanned, it would be great. He got banned because he had too mny powerups (60k ready). But he was playing this game absolutely all the time. That's awesome that they are willing to give a second chance.

Wow, took long enough for them to realize that they shouldn't ban people for using a bug they have made themself! Good news.

I am sorry mate but your Racing Art Founder GTRX1970 got banned for a valid reason. This video says it all: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GhXuQzyRDY

Getaway Driver is pretty easy if there are not noobs and you play team escape to much. The treadling the needle achievement is also easy one and heavy hitter once when you play... let's say 6-7 hours a day you can get them done in one maximum 3 days for heavy hitter but I think 6-7 hours are good enough for completing those. But getting 10 outlaws and 2000 outlaws in a few days.... That is a hack or in this case - pursuit bot. It also get's you lvl 60 in couple hours as far as I heard(haven't tried that because I'll get banned for it and skilled players would notice that that player is not lvl 60 thanks to the DS points. That is my opinion for it check that and you'll notice if he's a hacker or not.

Considering we have 1440 minutes in a day and High Stakes takes 2 minutes + 30 seconds wait time. The most you would be able to do is around 550. And this is is you find lobbies immediately. If you do race again that number drops to 450.

If I had access to the database that tracked driver achievements, I could probably write a query to find groups of hackers in 30 minutes. Yet another case of EA / EAsy not giving a damn. This is something simple and already established that they can query to ban people. Maybe some of the moderators can pass the idea up the chain and EAsy can do this... How great would it be if EAsy started doing this and didn't tell anyone so the hackers would have no idea why they're getting caught...
One can dream... It drives me nuts to know how easy and simple some counter-measures are and that EAsy doesn't devote 1 week for 1 developer to create services that run through the database to check on the rate of completion for achievements. They could also compare boost spending/purchasing to easily be able to identify people who are using trainers/hacks for car slots / cars.

The fastest way to increase pursuit count is at Fortuna (assuming heat level 1). Uturn and drive north into the underground garage, and cool down spot. Takes about 18 seconds. If a cop enters, head back out and go south and into the other underground garage. Since there's no lucky draw, the menu goes faster also. Then press "\" to choose the same event (pursuit at Fortuna), and then press "]" to start the single player pursuit again. Note that "\" can normally be used to reselect the last event you ran (drag, race, team escape, ... ). It's an undocumented menu shortcut that's been there since the beta sessions. If at level 60, this costs you $450 in game cash for each run, + $300 won, - $750 durability (unless you let durability go to zero).
For cost to state, if you use powerups or if you have a McLaren F1 (doesn't need the powerups), you can go to garage and back to set heat level to 1, and run up 120,000 to 180,000 in about 6 minutes or so per pursuit, at Rosewood, mostly using Hwy 99, then going to Hickley Field to evade. Note that if there is a road block in Hickley Field, drive behind "home plate" and you evade (it's out of range for a road block). Some times you accidentally lose the cops and evade early, so it's not always 100k+ per pursuit. It ends up averaging about 1 million cost to state in about 40 to 45 minutes.

This video says it all: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GhXuQzyRDYthat day he did the 700 TEs seems familar, wasnt that the day when that and other achievements were added(with free cars bug too)? If i remember everyone had a amount of TEs done when that achievement come and if u do 1 TE every you will get the achievement(for example if u had 500TEs done if u did 1 that day u will get 501TEs done and 10TEs,50TEs and 200TEs achievements done in the same day ) this will work as example if you guys dont understand my bad english forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/9568353.page#29081591

Good catch. Looks like it is legit. Exactly. He have never hacked, never abused a bug either. He even raged hard when one of his close friends hacked in game. (Which is banned atm)
