OT: I think the real reason the mistake was made that they mis-typed one letter in the person they were trying to ban name. So if your name is Silly Slapjack
and the botters name is siily slapjack, they accidentally type silly instead of siily and end up banning your account =X. If they ban by IP, then you can get what is called collateral damage to accounts that share the same IP (collage network, dynamic IP's) and end up getting that account flagged and banned due to sharing the same IP.

On the EULA debate: EULA's have been tried in court - 5 out of the 7 cases (i think) the EULA was upheld, 2 times it was, well, trashed due to some syntatical reason. EULA's have not been tried in the United States Supreme Court. I did some research on this about a year ago on the same subject trying to find case-law on the subject. Lesser courts are the only ones that have handled this subject.

Well also if you notice that sometimes you see people selling this for "cash" ingame, when what they really mean is gold... Maybe there is a program to catch those kind of "Cash" references. *shrugs* I don't know. I do know that I would be mighty ticked if I were wrongly accused of violating the EULA....

However more important, why was this ancient thread brought back to life, you guys getting bored? >_>

where did you get the wild idea of typing a name?

you copy/paste the same way as the email/password at the login screen.

That only applies to the USA, diffrent countrys have diffrent laws, I know some European contrys where A-Net would be required to turn the accounts back on or provide 100% proof. The user agreement is written by US attornies and is not worth the papper it's written on out side US.

Maybe the guy you sold the weapon too that sold it on ebay is in cahoots w/ you. maybe the both of you split the profit

who knows but this forums been good reading. hope it all works out though if what you say is true. goodluck

I have a feeling (assuming you are wrongfully accused) that you may have unknowingly sold some things to a friend who was using a bot frequently. Therefore, as you gave items to your friend who was then going and selling those items for real world money, you could be seen as assisting real-world trading.

If that was the case, wouldn't it be more responsible to observe multiple offences comitted by the person before banning their account?

Because banning a person because of one small suspicious trade sounds...weird...

He is right, innocent until proven guilty, evidence should be provided to him of the acts that he has been accused of.

Haggard · May 14, 2006, 10:07 AM // 10:07

Well this sucks, youre not even allowed to trade with an ebayer? HTF do we know?

wow! I used to read these posts and somewhat assume anet had reasons for bans. But here I am permanently banned (code=45) for no reason i am aware about. I don't farm often and if i do it's for the heck of playing w/ ppl i like. i don't sell anything that's not a worthy green to be able to afford armor. I don't engage in any arguments on Guild Wars. and I am in complete bafflement as to why i am banned. The code I got says that my account has been banned for advertising a site that includes 3rd party programs that compromise account security. The only site I have ever mentioned on GW is Guildwiki.org cuz it a great place to get a lot of info for newer players.
I am not aware of any programs on this site if anything they have a section on how to keep yourself safe on GW.
Weird thing is I haven/t mentioned Guildwiki more than about 3-4 times to Guildies and that's it. I was playing last night and everything was fine- this morning I couldn't get my connection to even start or get me to the login page. Every time I hit the GW icon it would tell me path not found. then the window connecting to Anet would pop up randomely when i hadn't even activated it. I couldn't stop GW from trying to connect it kindda freaked me out so I reinstalling GW. That didn't work, so I rebooted my entire PC reinstalling everything back to the manufacturers defaults and reinstalled GW, at which point i was able to get to the login page only to get a banned message?????? Anyone know what is going on???
I am completely in the dark.

I'd rather have these old threads rezzed than have to read 500 topics a day posted and the only reply is "SEARCH FOR IT YOU F-IN NOOB" or some other equal.

I'll just note something on the legal end. EULA's are Not Binding Contracts protected by law. They are more of a liability disclaimer and whether a court wants to uphold it or not is totally up to the judge and how good your lawyer is.

EULA's have been declared unacceptable and noninforcable by 90% of the courts that have heard cases about them.

But that doesnt mean you can sue Anet for your account...Well you could, but the problem would be 1) Getting ANY court in America to even hear it because its plain stupid and doesnt impact anyone, 2) Paying a lawyer, You could buy another Access Key and get all your stuff back and such for less than a lawyer costs.

Hello!

I also have the problem with this. I got banned for no apparent reason. I've read this thread and seen that leprekan knows this best about how to act. I need help with this and it would be nice if could get in touch with leprekan somehow.
Thank you

What does that mean?

I'm just seeking for help that's all.

Maybe you should pay attention to dates before you post in a thread. The last time someone made a significant contribution to this thread was almost four years ago.

Rokzor · Aug 24, 2010, 01:33 PM // 13:33

You are right, sorry about that. I posted in another thread, which was last last updated on June 16, 2010.
