Yes. I was with a "Guild Wars Friend" in Great Temple of Balthazar, International District 1. We were talking, and then he said "I bet 50% of the people here are money sellers." And then I said "Well, more like 99.9%. All of them are money sellers but you and me." Then he lol'd, and said "No because I'm a money seller too!" And I said "OMG ME TOO THAT'S MY BIG SECRET!". And then I wrote in Local Chat something like:
"www.somewebsite.net have ur money fast and quick!!"
And then he lol'd. Moments after, i get logged out, tried to get in, account suspended for 71 hours or something.

I got banned for making fun of ppl. Anet should really think what they're doing before banning ppl, because if they really have access to logs, they should see the chat with my friend before i said that in local chat.

I mean, wtf.

Do you really think a real person is sitting in every district reading every message? Something you said triggered an auto ban, simple as that. Try not to be a dumbass and you'll be fine.

Dumbass? There's no reason for the ban, and if that auto ban thing is true, then it's lame.

Hey, maybe there is an auto ban. Someone got banned (I think) for posting a link to part of the OFFICIAL website in All chat.

well first off you shouldnt spam some other website in local chat or on the game anywhere for that matter, so your ban is perfectly legal and you somewhat deserved it for being retarded and doing what you did.

dont whine just take your punishment and be done with it.

Kinda serves you right. Its not like they havn't said not to do this. and personally I am sick of getting accosted by gold sellers everytime I enter a main town.

Maybe next time you wont be a dumbass and post website advertised as gold selling site. WHat did you think would happen?

Maybe you would be wise to spend your time in a more constructive manner in the future

The guy was kidding around,and chances are,the site he typed www.somewebsite.net was what he literally typed in.

But obviously some people must lynch anyone who dares speak lowly of the almighty Anet.

OP: You could plead your case to Anet, but honestly I'm not at all surprised you got banned and I'm surprised you are surprised. :P

72 hours... I think the ban was a good thing too. It prevents him from playing GW for 3 days so he can briefly try for a better life.

That seems pretty dumb of anet. But you know, after their nonstop failure to do anything right (hex nerf, reward points in general, heroes in gvg), it doesn't really surprise me anymore.

You admited in "public" chat you were a gold seller... (even though you claim you don't). People take screen shots and report players for this.

You got off with a slap on the wrist.
