do account marks curse your account - Guild Wars Forums

i was curious as to whether getting account marks for misbehaving lessen your good drops chances or something.

Water Angel · Jul 14, 2007, 07:31 AM // 07:31

normally no.
if you do some crap you are temp banned or adverted of it.but it have no influence on loot scale.

i can assure of that, cause seeing the number of adverts/bans my gw acc got i wouldent be able get even a charr carving....

Lonesamurai · Jul 14, 2007, 09:09 AM // 09:09

Would be a good idea though...

heh, i wonder what sort of things could be done to those naughty boys and girls...

I actully thought Great Idea too

but no it's only a mark the Moderators can see and has no effect on gameplay

HEH!
IF that were the case, tons of players are going to swamp ANET with emails of how they are incorrectly marked and they can't get good drops.

Oh wait...loot scaling..Nevermind.

Though I would agree that besides a temp ban, some other punishment could be used as a way to encourage people to follow the rules. Can't make people play nicer or be nicer, but any encouragement could help.

If that were true, that would mean thousands of us have marks we don't know about.

Sounds like someone has been a little naughty - lol.

if marks cursed your account then Anet could just mark up bot accounts so they don't get any drops

Etta · Jul 16, 2007, 07:53 AM // 07:53

They should put in a karma system, do good deed and get lots of good drops. And the other way round for the bad boys/girls out there.

Chris616263 · Jul 16, 2007, 08:03 AM // 08:03

That's the dumbest crap I've ever heard.

Most of the time, outbursts are short-lived and they know this - and that's why they make the game, not you. If you honestly, in your heart of hearts, think a "karma" system is a good idea - drown yourself in your toilet bowl. Please.

Where do you see if you have any "marks" I have never heard of this and been playing over a year...I don't know why I would have any but nice to know if I did

populationcontrol · Jul 16, 2007, 05:27 PM // 17:27

well when you try to log in, its says something like "you will not be allowed to play for 300 hours for defrauding another player" off course i was really naughty, i made my fortune... lets just say im practically the reason its warns people the offer has been modfied, baned two months, 1 at a time. accounts marks supposedly take forever to wear off and i got suspicious as to why 90% of my high end chest drops were purple inspiration offhands, id hate to think there was some karma dp drop system in place or maybe its real karma lol

Sounds like you are proud of it... Very glad I do not know you in game or real life! Although there is no way for ANet to inflict Karma it is nice to think that maybe you are reaping what you sow.
