freedom and equality? it's NO!

Please answer my qustion: HOW did I sell items for cash? WHAT did I sell? With WHOM? Please explain with evidence.
I'm just an ordinary GW player. I accumulated my in-game money and items little by little on my own. You may call this farming, but everyone may farm in GW and I did it for my own pleasure or gave some of the items to my friends. That's it! No illegal trading whatsoever. Just because I come from China doesn't mean I have to be one of those stereotypical gold farmers. Did I get banned because of your prejudice against us? Is this the so-called "freedom and equality" advocated in America?
Please be responsible for what you said. Again, I want your evidence or my account back. Thank you.

oh man this is going to be awesome. sign me up for the afterparty

Did you or did you not sell your items for cash?

If you did go away and dont come back to GW ever again.

I demand cat pictures NOW!

awwww, you shouldn't have ________.

(feel free to fill in the blank with one of these: "bought GW", "sold in-game gold", "posted on this forum", "broke EULA", "helped your friends with their gold-selling business you don't know about")

Ouch...either you got hacked, or you just got busted. Either way, this thread is gonna end in a lock...

In before racism, trolling, and self-righteous anger

It is possible Anet has made a mistake but it's still very unlikely. You had to have done something wrong for them to close your account permanently, why would they go out of their way to ban someone just for being Chinese.

There's nothing any of us can really do but maybe someone will chime in with something intelligent to say about this matter.

The fact that A-net provide no hard evidence is pretty bull if you ask me. What do they got to lose anyways.

Also I don't see why you can make money off this game from all your hard work. Anet pretty much ripped people off with Eotn and the BMP with selling a bundled re-skin of existing games...

When he says in his OP and message to anet that he gave some of his items to friends, that doesnt specify if it was for free or for cash. Im guessing it was for cash, but he is expecting anet to be able to proove this or give him his account back.

time for cats!

If you honestly didn't do anything to violate the EULA, keep working with Anet support using their support system. It's the only way you will be able to get your account back. That first response you got is an automated response. If there's a support ticket open, use that one to communicate with them instead of opening a new one.

And what "hard evidence" are you suggesting they provide? Images so preaople can QQ "shopped! shopped! I was never there!"
dates & times so people can QQ "I wasn't playing then!"

It's all your word against theirs. They just have more credibility.

I find it funny how many people don't find this serious at all. There is a time for cat pictures, along for being immature, and funny, and this is not the time. If the OP didn't sell gold, or helped someone sell gold for real world cash, and PlayNC can't provide hard evidence that he did, then wtf.

I don't think it's that simple. I mean, Anet has no way to know whether you get paid later or not after giving an item to your friend.

It would be more likely if.-

-the "friend" in question is known to be a gold-seller (or has a suspicious behavior of transfering large amount of gold to some random strangers for so many times, all the while remake his characters only for this purpose).

-the "friend" in question is known to assist a gold-seller by helping farming and selling items for gold (and then use that gold in above manner). So, if you keep giving this "friend" some items over and over you're likely to be considered a part of this gold-selling business too.

Just my guess.

To the OP:

What do you do on Guild Wars? Maybe explaining what you do on a regular basis can let us understand the situation. It could very well be you had a friend on your friends list who dealt with "gold for cash" things and ANet assumed you were working together. Also, are you aware that botting is also a serious offense? All you see to do is complain and now you've been hit hard from them without serious evidence or reasoning. In fact, how do we know you don't plan to buy another copy of GW right now?

If you plan to complain, give us a reason why we should believe you. I don't care if you're white, black, asian or the cousin to a japanese eskimo for all we know, but if you're working with, know someone who is, or in any way shape or form related or in conjunction of, the following offensive actions, you're going to get the warning or immediate ban.

One more thing: Why do you even have an account here on the forums? You've barely even used it except to make complaints...

Ok. Just say this happened to you and you hadn't done anything to break the keys.

Would you be annoyed?

Just say your account got hacked some how and you had items/gold being sold and you couldn't stop it/didn't know, would you be annoyed?
