friends banned? - Guild Wars Forums

just wondering...

if someone that is on your friends list is banned.. is there a way to tell?

do they just remain on your list, but always listed as "offline"?

That is a damn good question... i would like to know myself now that you got me thinking about it

Why should you want to know? Just don't hang around with people that have a chance to get banned. If you'll get banned you've did something terrible, because ANet doesn't ban someone for a little thing

actually, i was curious because during all that rampant botting at seeker's passage (great fun to watch bots, by the way), i put some suspected bots on my friends list to see if Anet would later ban them.

a bunch of them are now always "offline" -- i was just wondering if they had been banned.

yeah... someone who is botting or exploiting will sometimes tell everyone (which is stupid) but sometimes tell nobody (which is smart) and even those who tell nobody have a chance of getting caught. I got a fellow in my guild who was regular for a couple months and hasn't logged on in 2 weeks, and another who hasn't logged on in a week.

Mayve yes maybe not.

U can switch to "BUSY" "AWAY" "OFFLINE" or "ONLINE" STATUS.

Press N and select :

Maybe this was the Probs.
