Everyone, we DO NOT allow the posting of names to discredit or harass someone on this board. Posts mentioning names will be deleted. I'm not sure what to do with this thread at this point... if it is true then ArenaNet has enough information to go off of and there's not a need to keep it open. If it's false, well then ArenaNet still has the information. I'll do more clean up and see where it stands.

Good Point, Guess I missed that.
Thanks though.

Why can't this guy just take his grief to WoW?
Want to make a statement, take out blizzards servers.

or, just not be a whining tool and suck it up.

I hope there will be more victims... say, additional 116.
Guru would be more amusing then.

Dang, I've never been called a mastermind before! I appreciate the...er.. confidence? However, let's be sensible. First, it's not cool to post about exploits on a forum. I mean, come on, think! It's great someone finally sent a Support ticket. I've verified that the team received the ticket, and in fact the character in question was banned before the ticket arrived. But please understand that making a forum thread is a very poor choice, because it only causes unnecessary alarm and feeds the ego of the former player who demands it. (And if we're looking at sock puppets -- and I imagine we're looking at at least one

-- it's even more silly.)

Now, I want you to understand: The reason behind all the hyperbole and all the threats and bragging isn't a steadfast belief in some sort of "cause." This isn't about a noble player trying to help other "unjustly banned" players, or someone trying to help us to make the game better, or anything of that sort. This is not a person who works for ArenaNet or NCsoft and it's not someone with whom we choose to have any sort of relationship, A reported exploit deserves a "thanks for sending that." But when you start bragging about it, exaggerating into special permissions, claiming that a certain time-span means you're A-Ok to cheat, and pretending you're not the one responsible for getting other players banned, you're plumb off the "thank you list."

This posts seems to stem from a threat, blackmail, whatever nonsense name you want to call it, and you can be sure that neither ArenaNet nor NCsoft are going to capitulate to such antics.

Here are a few obvious thoughts:

Don't party with someone who says he can crash you.
Don't take a ferry to a "hidden outpost."
If someone threatens you, zone and report. If someone harasses you, ditto.
Don't exaggerate the situation.
Don't post because you are threatened with... what? "I will ban you" is nonsense when the threatener has no access whatsoever to our administrative tools.
Oh, and don't believe the story about how he can ride on a flying monkey, either.
If there's a gap in the code, an exploit, a glitch, a whatever, it's not the end of the world and you know we'll fix it.
Just say "No" to the drama. I mean, honestly!

Again, please send reports of this nature to [email protected]. If you desire, you can PM here if you send such a mail. Mark the email "Possible exploit" and include the character name of the person making threats or boasting of planning malicious acts, along with date, time, and time zone. We'll take care of it. And thanks.
