Perpetua...if you wish to educate us with your legalese then I suggest you go back and hit the books. You purchased a game with a user agreement. In that "contract" you agree to abide by the rules...which are set up by Anet.
Do you really think that Anet hasn't had their own lawyers look at this "contract" to make sure it's legit? Although...sounds like you have a beef with Mike Z as your argument always comes back to him. Maybe you need to just relax, lol. |

KAWIl...
Agreeing to contract that is illegal is NOT enforcable.... business law 101. It doesn't matter if you sign it a 1000 times... my return to mike z is nothing more than to show that there is clearly selective enforcement of policy which in turn would nullify the EULA I am not a Law student but have friends in the law program at UW the 8th best Law school in the world as rated by HARVARD uni. I have spoken to professors and L4's which I doubt you know what that is. Sure no doubt ANet has attorneys, I believe that they EXPECTED Anet to have a clear STANDARD regarding bans and not rely on selective enforcement. FYI that doesn't mean they are immune and beyond reproach just because they had a generic form of a EULA..lol.. |

8th best eh? Well...that's good. Have you reported Mike Z, thus confirming your supposed selective enforcement?
However, your logic is quite inferior as it happens to be irrelevant. You really have no proof other than hearsay. Unless you've been banned for....possibly....breaking the rules and are now just out to make some noise. Either way, I'm sure Anet has more than enough proof not only to hold up their argument, as to their bans, but your and everyone else's check mark in the "I agree with this EULA" box. |

perpetua...its hard to standardize it since the topic is highly subjective
they prolly have multiple ppl handin out the bans wit variable tolerance levels of wuts acceptable or not its totally up to anets discretion of wut should be an offense or not even then...im sure the players have more power than the admins do regarding the matter, through the /report command if enough ppl reported mike the azz...im sure he would be given the name changer player using /report > admin and no, ur not buying a game ur buying access to their servers anyone is freely able to download the full game off their website Last edited by snaek; Jan 03, 2009 at 01:28 AM // 01:28.. |

Mike Z's wiki page shows his characters names...SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT OF THE EULA NEGATES ITS VALUE...are you missign some basic understanding... just as if you have a law against weed and you only bust the blacks..it negates the law... it is happening in all states regarding crack cocaine and blacks... wow SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT NEGATES THE POLICY/LAW....it does NOT matter if you check the box or not..the law is the law
I assure you, when faced with possible legal issues Anet will make a standardized policy on bans... All they have to do is send a msg "you have been reported for abuse/spam/ect.modify your behavior or lose chat privileges." So I guess because a GW live team member uses "AZZ" we should assume it is not against the EULA and not an attempt to skirt the chat filter?..kewl... All companies have immature members that set a dangerous precedent and the company may not agree with. I think of a waitress that wont wait on non whites..... Denny's restaurant chain paid millions to settle that one... Inconsistent standards in business leads to a lot of problems. I dont believe Anet proper is even aware of the inconsistent practices of some of its employees.. til they get faced with a lawsuit.... I'm curious .... who on the design team made the penis sword a few weeks ago... it was removed fairly quickly after it caused such a commotion..and I'm sure a reprimand to that designer was issued...

did u not read my post?
like i said...its highly subjective with a million amount of variables one must portray good judgement and since there r many ppl handling nemerous cases, differences will naturally occur add to the fact that many bans r only handed out to /reported players afaik if "mike kicks azz" hasnt been banned most likely no one found him to be offensive to report it often i find that players who use /report command judge it based on user name + user behaviour not jus user name alone make a chara named, "perpetua kiks azz" do not spam or offend anyone by wut u say...and see if it gets banned however, once u start using bad behaviour...it starts to nullify the banning solely on name |

THE EULA states that trying to skirt the chat filter in GW is a violation of the EULA it says nothing about someone having to report it. Since GW chat filter DOES remove ass and azz clearly is an attempt to skirt this filter that account is banable regardless of reporting according to the EULA.

Your argument of unless every person is caught and punished then no one person can be punished is extremely ignorant. That isn't enforceable in Washington, or any other state, city of town in the USA, or any other country in the world. There is a big difference between discrimination based on sex, religion or race and your "selective enforcement of rules". Anet doesn't have records of your race or religion.

There was a login message that said, use All (main) chat to sell, would result in a ban, It got taken over by the Wintersday one, maybe you haven't been reported, just doing what they warned you/us (I always apologise when I shout my trades in main by accident, some people don't like it, seems ANet feels the same) about?

PS. AZZ or ASS is not a word that would get you banned, try looking it up. As long as it is not grouped with "hole" it is a common word. |

Incorrect. A.net gives you a liscence, not a lease to their product. They can revoke that liscence. Any first year law student could tell you that. Don't spew stuff if you don't know what you are talking about. |

Quite simply, They own the account. They can do whatever they want to their own property. You are paying for them to allow you to use it. They can take that away at anytime, as you do not own it, they do.
So yeah, the EULA is something that sets rules for something they already own, so... They can do whatever they want to what they own. Plus, they are in Korea. Also, please get rid of the caps.. hard on the eyes, you know. |

You know, if this really bothers you then you should contact Anet. If you think that Anet dudes name is offensive, then report it and maybe you'll get somewhere. Complaining on a fansite won't help the situation.

there is a simple way to check this whole mike and azz thing, report him. and if you get enough ppl to report him and then he doesnt get banned then you might have a case, albeit perhaps not a strong one. another more expensive thing sue them, what is the point of trying to convince a bunch of people in a forum on the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing internet, your not gonna achieve anything. bring us proof of them being sued and your winning the case and im sure thatll shut everyone up.
