Banned,don't bot? - Guild Wars Forums

Zarion Silverarrow · May 26, 2010, 09:57 PM // 21:57

I only boted with a SS/LB bot and a Stygian (DoA) bot for less than 5 minutes alltogether,so obviously I did not gain 1 gold or 1 tittle point. It was on an alt account,and both my main and alt got banned.

Other 3rd party programs I have used are GW multilaunch and textmod (less than 3hrs all together of those) and those have nothing to do with botting.

I'm not saying I got banned by accident,or that Anet is wrong and are fags,I'm asking you guys if you think the ban should be removed,since I never got ANYTHING other than KNOWLAGE from the bots.

I sent Anet an email...il see what happens then.

yep.. half my guild got banned without botting

Naive the people are.

romer29 · May 26, 2010, 10:13 PM // 22:13

same here i only use texmod and i've gotten banned too?...

lovely_necromancer · May 26, 2010, 10:19 PM // 22:19

same problem over here.

Zarion Silverarrow · May 26, 2010, 10:26 PM // 22:26

And I forgot to mention,I did use 2 bots once each on my other account (ss/lb bot and a stygian trapper one)

But only ONCE and my OTHER account,it was to see the behaviour and if I saw anyone with the same steps report them (which I never did for some reason)

So,I kinda understand if the other account was banned,but why the main?when I never used a bot in it? IP BAN? A bit unfair then.

How come an account that botted twice,gets the same punishment as one that has used bots 24/7.

If I don't get atleast 1 account back,I doubt I will get Guildwars2

W-w-w-w-w-wwwaaaitt....I am banned ??!?!?!?!? And I didn't do anything...maaan...no idea what was A-net's criteria of judging whether or not you've botted but for sure it wasn't correct because I GOT BANNED >.< ... Community has been using TexMod for ages, I decided to use it once for my cartographer and today - YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN... >.<
Just for the protocol...~4000 hrs...~3000k left...loyalty for all the time I played GW...reported numerous scammers/botters/leechers..and now ?!?! I GET FREAKING BANNED ? THANK YOU VERY MUCH GUYS... >.<

You answered your own question. You botted, so you got your account banned. Others take heed, because 99% of the time when someone says "I got banned but didn't do anything," they did. It doesn't matter if you used it twice or for years. You did.

They banned both accounts to send a clear message that your botting would not be tolerated and prevent you from doing it in the future. If you buy a new account and play again, ask yourself if it was worth it and if you'll do it again. Anet's strong actions would lead me to think your response would be "no."

Bob Slydell · May 26, 2010, 10:38 PM // 22:38

Maybe there was a really bad error or something? If im banned too I'll be kinda mad.

You botted, go whine somewhere else. You deserved it.

The thing is,I just did this to tell others the actions. It was only in 1 account,and atleast I don't lie and admit it. I think Anet should take this into consideration...out of 4 years of playing,1 day I used 2 bots once each (and not even full runs either,hell not even 1/100000000000 of runs) and I get the same punishment as a person who botted all 4 years.

I don't consider <5 minutes of using a program "boting".

Ok stop replying just to answer me with my own answer. I KNOW I BOTED I JUST SAID IT

But it was less than 5 minutes on 1 account,why get banned on the other? Why even get banned in the account that botted less than 5 minutes? No loot at all,no loot intended,just did it to see how it worked,and to report people I saw using it. Also to not join SS/LB groups with botters.

PS: Stop the flaming,just accept that I accept I "boted",but take my word it was less than 5 minutes and it was for the benefit of the people i knew and myself (in terms of not getting banned). Please don't add this thread to the "closed" of all my discussion threads...

Actually i paid off Emily. But that is besides the point. :P

Botting, text modding, G11 keyboards...idc what it is. If you are using something to gain an ingame advantage you need a ban.

Buy guild wars...install guild wars...play guild wars as it was intended and designed..is this too hard to do?

You BOTTED once, it was a bot, a BOT, you used a BOT on your account and you got banned. Arenanet can't look through each person's computer and say "oh hai this guys just testing to see what it does", so sir you got banned and rightfully so. You knew the risks and you still "tried" a bot to see what they do.

SLASH. THREAD.

Anet said Text mod was not supported but accepted. Its a mod to make things look happy and good and gay.

I did not bot for my own benefit (in terms of tittles,loot,etc) I "boted" so I didn''t get grouped with botters.

Never. I used a bot in my friends account.

Let me rephrase,I was typing out of stress and being mad. The ban (in part) was rightfull and I don't blame Arenanet.

Why it was wrong?

1 account that never botted got banned

Why I think I should get them back?

Because I just did it,as I said like 100 times already, to NOT get banned and NOT get grouped with actual botters. I KNOW Anet could not have known this,but I'm just asking,I just sent an email explaining, if you think I deserve my account(s) back? The point to boting is making loot and maxing titles,which I never did not even 1 point or 1 gold.

Zebideedee · May 26, 2010, 10:52 PM // 22:52

Scary stuff, being banned for no reason. Have you asked for/had a reply for ban reason?
