I logged in last night to find... code 045. Nice... My offense yesterday...hmmm...
Maybe: I felt sorry for 2 noobs I know who asked to borrow money. Lent 100k to one, lent 10k to other
Maybe: Gave 57 ectos to a friend who asked me to sell an item for him 3 days ago since he was going to be studying for tests and wouldn't be around. Was just giving him his proceeds.
Maybe: Found several staffs and an axe I have been looking for forever for sale and bought all of them. It was a good day to spend money. Had to transfer money from storage account and storage chars to help pay for the stuff.
Maybe: Got 40k back from another noob I lent money to a couple days ago that I had forgotten about. I actually got paid back for once!

There are several people in the game who have been banned many times and always get their accounts back who everyone knows should never come back yet nothing ever happens to them.

I wonder if I will get my account back... Now I get to tell my kids this weekend I can't do the new mission packs with them because Anet stole the $125 I have in the 4 expansions. Plus 10 more for the kids and storage and extra character slots makes about $500 I have into the game so far is a waste because we all play together.

Oh...and I still didn't get the 1st place Halloween contest items...

New rule if I get my account back: I WILL NEVER EVER LEND MONEY TO BE NICE. NEVER EVER HELP ANYONE SELL ITEMS TO BE NICE. NEVER EVER DO ANYTHING NICE TO ANYONE IN THE GAME AGAIN. It will be solo playing for me from now on. GG.

Wow, sorry to hear that. And sadly, I guess you do have to take those measures. Contact support ASAP and have them undo that.

It really amazes me to log on and see all of the different threads about people who think they were wrongly banned. It truly makes me wonder which ones deserved it and which ones are just crying because they broke the rules and are actually getting punished for it....
I agree and class actions have happened, but it has to be a clear difference between "I felt like..." and "I was unlawfully...". Not too be picky, or anything, but it makes a difference hehe. To use my previous statement about having only one occurance of myself being banned/suspended in another game; There was a part of me that "felt" I didn't necessarily deserve it, although I knew what I had done and knew it was bad, but it doesn't negate that what had transpired was indeed wrong on my part.


Something tells me that if we all had access to log files and ban reports we would find that only a very small percentage of all bans/suspensions were unwarrented. ie-Mistaken identity, victim of harrassment by reporters, ect. Out of that percentage, I'm inclinded to believe the ratio is even smaller as to how many of those mistaken bans aren't fixed a.s.a.p. Again, not saying it doesn't happen, not excusing that it happens, not saying there aren't flaws in the system. It's a shame when it does happen and it needs to be fixed immediately when it does. Just stating that the percentage of unwarrented, no-reason bans that go unfixed, is undoubtedly extremely tiny.

If over your gaming career you've been banned, or suspended from accounts 4, 5, 6...10 times, that's not typical of being unlucky, or victim of Power Hungry GM's who pick names out of hats. It's a sign you're continually doing something wrong, against the rules, and deserving of your suspension, irregardless if you "feel", in your opinion, it's not that bad. That if you're a constant, repeat, offender; You're going to be watched more closely just as a repeat criminal offender in real life.

Some people in games usually learn from the mistake. The others take the opposite road and ignore, or go a step farther to, for lack of better phrasing, "Rage Against the Machine".

Crappy deal, but will you lend me 100k to be mean? It would such a horrible thing to do to me and you wouldn't be nice doing it so it'd be ok.

I know the support tickets are slow and painful but I've always had my problems resolved with them. Just keep pestering them until they either give you a legitimate reason for the ban, or reverse their decision.

LoL. Fortunately my kids stole most of my good stuff from me so they are still good. After finishing GWEN in a couple days they have been bored with GW lately anyways. Looks like it will be back to some of the good old games this weekend since the weather is going to be 60 mph winds and freezing cold. Otherwise I would turn off the computers and do some outside things. Maybe taking a break from GW will be nice. I think we will go pwn some noobs in Medal of Honor this weekend instead. An oldie...but still a fun game. Come find me on a 33rd clan server...Vid, Vid Jr. and Vid Jr. Jr.

Many people don’t speak English. They can’t write to the support.

10 Way to Get Banned:

1). Know any of the devs, and mention it
2). Curse at someone
3). Argue, debate, or engage in any type of intelligent conversation in which there is a possibility of someone disagreeing with you.
4). Mention Nazi's, Holocaust, Jewish people, genocide, or any other topic which has been deemed sensitive by the world that wishes to forget these events happened and act as if the world is all rainbows and fairies.
5). Rage quit a lot in PvP, despite whatever insane people might be on your team in RA (meteor shower warriors are so amazing, people using mysticism skills on non Dervish characters, etc)
6). Impersonate a Dev, or make hints that have some authority. See Way #1 for additional possibility within this realm.
7). Insult a 12 year old twit so they can use the /report system as their personal complaint system. (Oh, he called my armor ugly, BAN HIM!)
8). Tell someone to cool off their language if they are dropping Fbombs all over Local chat because they are a 13 year old twit that has hormones going through more changes then Micheal Jackson did.
9). Make an sexist, racist, or otherwise crude remarks. If you wan't to really be an ass, make sure they are really nasty. This is the fastest way (although I myself do not like this method)
10). This one is most important. Farm a lot, they are sure to mistake you for a bot. If this fails, eBay gold.

NOTE: I am neither responsible for your account after trying my proven methods, nor actually telling you to attempt these. Only trained professionals such as myself should attempt these. Also note that the "scaling ban" system ANET utlizes apparently scales from 24 hrs to 350ish. Have fun kiddies! MUHAHAHHA!

This has been 3 minutes with Rahja. Cheers!

PS: Mesmas RULE, and the other classes drool. Ban them.

Oh, hey Gaile, mind paying my bail? Or do I have to get Izzy on Steam again? Grr...

With the situation with banning in Guild Wars I'm still glad they aren't handing this responsibility to gamers. I remember when they did this in AOL and it was severely abused. People had "Guide" usernames and many of them just banned people because they had a power trip and were committing internet road rage. Just be glad they aren't doing this in Guild Wars. I know it would be much worse if they did that.

What makes you think NCSoft doesn't have people working for them that speak foreign languages? I mean... they did translate the game after all. The Support website is listed in serveral different languages.
Furthermore, you can still use the /report feature

If you ever find out why you have been banned for that long, please send me a PM or start a new thread. I don´t care, but I want to know the reason!!

OH, I know. Weren´t you the one who found the bug that could force a reconnect on everyone in your team or on that map???

I have yet to see an answer to this. Would someone like to shed a little light for me?
Surely it's no different to someone calling themselves "Xx Dodo Xx" or "I Big Green Necro I" or "Mnghghghgh Ghghgh". We all know these sort of names exist. They make no sense because people don't put enough thought into what they name their characters. What does "Xx" mean? Why would someone type "Ghghgh" on a keyboard and choose it as their name? Why would someone repeat the "Quebec" after "Faq"? It's just something silly people do.

I always despised the /report function. Giving people guns doesn't make the world a safer place, it only leads to more people getting shot...

I haven't been banned yet. Wanna know my secret? I use Heroes and Henchmen and ignore the playerbase. As sad as that may sound, it works quite well.

i bought gw just before Halloween, joined a rl friends guild and was happily playing the game when i suddenly get disconnected and when i try logging back in im told that im banned for spamming!

i contacts GW support only to get an email saying that i was excessively spamming the local chat channel

now the only time id really used the local channel in those 3 days of play since i installed the game when i had been chatting to a friend in local about something really mundane (i think i was talking about my cat or something) and before anyone says anything i wasn't swearing as i don't really swear unless my really angry which i wasn't angry at all

i had to wait out my 71 hour ban and missed the Halloween event but i still cant understand why i got banned for chatting to a friend in the local chat channel isn't that what its for?
