This thread was inspired by what has happened with the 117, but is not based on it. I am not one of them, none of my friends are.
This is not a plea pro 117, nor an attack.
I'm just curious. I keep thinking, what would I do? how far would I go? if this was me. If my account was banned... the thought makes me sick.
So this is the scenario... IMAGINE that your account was banned. How far would you be willing to go to get it back?
Please don't post "I didn't do anything, it wasn't an exploit, I didn't know..." This thread is NOT about the 117. It's about the rest of us, IF our account was banned.
You are in front of the CEO super boss of ANET ( or 2, I think). You have been accused of something so severe they are going to PERMANENTLY BAN your account.This is your chance to plea a bargain:
1- What extraordinary action would you take?: Get on a plane and fly to ANET's Headquarters.
2- Instead of a Permanent Ban .... - Ban me for 3 months.
3- As a bonus... PLEASE.... - Strip all my characters of armor, weapons, gold. Please leave my Holiday Hats and my titles ( if possible, or keep the titles, but please leave my hats).
4- If I am allowed to come back, I will ....... - never, ever, ever go anywhere anything that doesn't look right.
Please Follow the question format. Thanks!!
How far would you be willing to go?

1- What extraordinary action would you take?: I might make a few phone calls first.......hell, I'd make a lot of phone calls.
2- Instead of a Permanent Ban .... - Ban me for a month
3- As a bonus... take a specific amount of gold as a fine
4- If I am allowed to come back, I will ....... - never, ever, ever leave the gh. lol

What I would do?
6) Not deliberately and repeatedly do things I know are in violation of the TOS and likely to get me banned.
No, you've made an effort, I really must answer your query:
1- What extraordinary action would you take?: Bitch & Moan incessantly, for weeks, with sockpuppet accounts, at GWGuru, and generally at all cost refuse to accept responsibility for my actions.
2- Instead of a Permanent Ban .... - Let me off the hook if I roll over on three other exploiters!
3- As a bonus... PLEASE... - Take my money and my wife, but spare my own life!

I'd fire off a few e-mails, but if I had gotten banned when I knew I did nothing wrong and no one would listen...
I'd find something else to do and probably never buy another NC Soft product out of spite.

I would bitch and moan for a while, and then get over it. Life WILL go on!
I would probably offer to buy back my account at retail value, (Proph, Factions, Nightfall and EotN).

still dont get why ppl that put 1000s of hours into their game would endanger it in the first place
ensoriki
I'd be really pissed off
Send an email to A-net
Then post something on guru.
If nothing happens, I'll simply quit GW
Life goes on....to the next video game

Well I was permabanned during the duping thing for trading and getting duped ectos, which I guess I should of realized wasn't legit, but anyone would of took the offer I was given and since it was all armbrace talk. (Just some background) Anyways.
1- What extraordinary action would you take?- Couple of emails, there is no convincing them aside from legal threats.
2- Instead of a Permanent Ban .... - Take all the ectos from me, my money (which wasn't much anyway, invested it all in diamonds so take those). Whatever else.
3- As a bonus... PLEASE.... - Leave my titles.
4- If I am allowed to come back, I will ....... - Never trade again. Haha.
But I just PvP on my friends account that I kind of made mine since he is off to WoW and other things. So it's all good.

Suppose you were evicted from your house made of cake. How would you plead?
1. Eat the roof because it's made of tasty caramel and the rainy season is coming up.
2. Instead of eviction, please give me a room with no icing on the walls.
3. As a bonus... PLEASE leave my gumdrops. I have one of every color, and it has taken me months to collect them!
4. If I am allowed to come back, I will plant a garden of licorice and praline.
Hypothetical games are fun.

Seriously, it's a goddamn video game. I'd go maybe three or four feet unless I had to get out of bed. My time is worth a lot more than that to me.

...although I'm tempted to do that at the moment without being banned.
1- What extraordinary action would you take? Send one e-mail to support. If no reply then it's not me that's losing a paying customer.
2- Instead of a Permanent Ban .... unban me.
3- As a bonus... PLEASE.... send me a hand written letter of apology in the post for your mistake.
4- If I am allowed to come back, I will ....... make sure that if I am banned again I it's for a good reason and I had a lot of fun breaking the rules before it happens.

I would be finding the customer service phone numbers, and call Areanet every day.
But that's about it. I've been banned from games/servers/websites before. Just gotta move on and get hooked on another game.

1- What extraordinary action would you take?: Spam e-mailing, possibly follwed by a phone call or two.
2- Instead of a Permanent Ban .... don't ban me at all. Why waste the effort in pressing the button?
3- As a bonus... PLEASE.... do nothing. Under any actions I do in GW today, I was wrongfully banned in the first place, so you should be nice to me and give me my account back without strings attached.
4- If I am allowed to come back, I will ....... continue to play the game as it was meant to be played and not expect to hear anything from you ever again.

1. Do anything Anet told me, ANYTHING.
2. Ban me for...a week.
3. As a bonus, you can delete all my characters except my Assassin.
4. If I am allowed to come back, I will never go near bugs, ever, even Mantids.

I wouldn't do anything to get my account back. If I did anything I would go back to WoW or EVE.
Crom The Pale
Since I would have wieghed the risks of my actions before hand, chances are I would also have known what the outcome would or could be and would have accepted it without recrimination or any sort of plea.
Don't do the crime if your not able to do the time!

1- What extraordinary action would you take?: It would be a mistake so I would go there personally to bash some heads in.
2- Instead of a Permanent Ban .... You get to keep living.
3- As a bonus... PLEASE.... Fill my storage with Platinum and Diamonds and Ectos and...since you defamed my character in the first place.
4- If I am allowed to come back, I will ....... See answer to part 2. If that's not enough for you then too bad.
p.s. please note the /sarcasm a-net. I would NEVER threaten any of you or do anything that might in any way endanger Jada's fragile existance. (Damn I love that gal).

1. What extraordinary action would you take.
Hypothetically, one can become NCsoft shareholder. They are listed in Seoul Stock Market. This will give u a chance to attend their AGM in March so maybe get a audience with Mr Taek Jin Kim - he's the big boss with 27% shareholdings. This option is way cheaper than other options.

1.) I'd become a multi-billionaire, buy out a-net and ncsoft, and fire the mistake-prone jackboot who banned me. Then as supreme emperor of Guild Wars I would Perma-UnBan me!
FeroxC
After the initial rage, id apply for a job at Anet hopefully get on the dev team then once i get home id farm Mallyx all day from the forbidden area using my dev account
or maybe not.

Seriously, one can raise questions in their AGM about the laxness of control in GW and raise doubts on the viability of their sales projection of GW2. GW accounts for about 20% of their revenue so it could be sufficient enough to raise attention of finance journos. Companies never like shareholder activism in their AGMs
EDIT: Anet is a 100% consolidated subsidiary of NCsoft. Anet's books roll into NCsoft's reports so you can't buy out Anet. Also, NCsoft share price has dropped from approx 90k wan 6 months ago to 48k wan currently. One would wonder what's going on there...
myrealnameismatt
hmmm permabanned eh? Toughie that one.. hmm I'd probably spend at least the next 4 days or so reading douchebag posts on guildwars guru, possibly consider rage-selling about 3000 potential ectos to the imaginary rare material trader that I might or might not have been sitting on since the game began on an alt I might or might not have used in over a year, just to see what would or wouldn't happen - then maybe i'd think nah it's not worth all the clicking and then i'd probably go about my daily business. (purely theoretically speaking ofc)
