The sounds are quite annoying, and removal does seem to be the best option imho. Standing all the way over by the material trader just so that I can hear PM's is retarded.

You only need to turn off 1 volume slider to get rid of most tonic sounds: 'Effects volume'. That's what I do when I need to hear my incoming PMs.

It would be nice to have 2 sound profiles, like cape and headpiece settings, 1 for in town, 1 for outside.

You should thank them, if it's a temp ban. We should thank them if it's permanent.

You knew what you were doing. You went out of your way to set up a macro/bot to spam yeti sounds.....for extended periods, for several days. You then taunted, and challenged people to report you for spamming/griefing.

What did you think would happen? Act like a spoiled brat, and get grounded like one.

My own music over Guild Wars music. >_> I had my sound off for over 3 years now. And yes... Anet should remove the sounds from tonics.

The tonics that came out after the yeti didn't make much noise. :<
I wonder which guild that could be....

Considering you and your other guildmates were there for a good portion of it, and taunting those asking for the report.

actually, my girlfriend/fiance, light feathers (dj coastal) had NOTHING to do with any of it. she was merely there to just be by my side in kamadan. she supports me, and that's all i need. hell, for all i care, aNet can QQ me a river.

to be perfectly honest it proves my reason even more of just how two-faced and dictatorship-like aNet is when it comes to technical issues that they know they are wrong on. their philosophy of "let's suspend the guy who enjoys his tonic that WE implemented 'cause we constantly RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO up and never make take the step to remedy the issues like this" is quite sad, no less.

no matter what anyone may say, they don't know the true intentions behind all of it and nor shall they. simply put, it was not "to grief people", "to act like an immature prick", "to gain attention" (even though it did in a very big way-- i mean hell aNet sent their leission (sp?) just to see what was going on because of so many support tickets), or any of the sort. i know my reasons and that shall stay between me and my gf.

i truthfully believe wholeheartedly that the issue is not simply the spam of yeti sounds, but the issue that TRUELY needs to be approached are the dupers, botters (for farming gold), ladder-manip, ect. i mean, my accout has the max amout of marks on it due to constantly getting 1 week suspensions at a time, and, i find it odd that now suddenly it's only a 3 day mini-ban? hmm.. how awkward... if i did not know any better i'd say it seems like a coverup for exploiting an undefined technical "EULA breach", imo. seems as though aNet did it to please the children of kamadan dist 1 to shut them up, no? but, that still falls under exploitation of "admin power" no matter how you look at it.

having said the above, i do not regret my actions. aNet needed to be sent a message and i sent that message to them. i only hope they aren't so far up themselves to where they cannot decipher what that message is.

here's hoping....

Dude I salute you. I only hope more people do things like this to shove it back in Anet's face. If they didn't permaban my account for such trivial BS like language even though this is a rated T game i would certainly joined you.

On a side note: I love how ANET sees no problem with you buying 10 additional accounts with real money for Xunlai TH predictions for free ZKeys while buying gold online will get you banned.

yes, i agree 100%. i won't lie, buying accounts solely for the purpose of zkeys every month IS like buying gold via real-world cash.

think about: for 1000k (1 mil) it's roughly what? $75? well, if you spend $29 for an account for the purpose of zKeys, you get free gold every month. if you get 40 zkeys a month per account that is roughly 160k (@ the current 4k ea price) times X accounts. basicly, you spent $29 for 160k. keep in mind, this is NOT a 1-time deal as with purchasing online gold! you get to indefinately use the account(s) month after month after month after month, thus, paying $29 for a near-infinite (not literally) amount of gold. it may seem confusing but in short, yes, it is like "ebaying".

this is another issue that should be addressed but personally i do not see it possible in any way to ever fix something like this except by removing what provoked these methods.... the Xunlai Tournament House.

I want to add that GuildWars is only 10 euro's at Media Markt. So it's even cheaper to gain money.

So you were spamming annoying sounds like a tard, got complained about and received a 72h temp ban but Anet is tehfail because you were really sending them a message about their running of the game?

Whatever personal reasons you were doing it for were irrelevant, you decided to piss alot of people off and got banned for it.

I wonder why ANet keep putting these things into the game when they know they are going to be abused. There is nothing new in this, it's always happened, yet ANet keeps on adding this stuff. You woul dhave thought they would have learnt by now that adding super-sized noise making devices to outposts is just asking for trouble, but no, every month they trot another one out!

Make them smaller, make them silent, problem solved.

Yes, I'm sure everyone else has a "message" to deliver. Anet should stop banning all those farm bots and spammers, and while we're at it, why persecute those poor innocent gold sellers? I'm sure they all have their "personal reasons" for doing so.

You know it's been proven that criminals or those that break the law are the biggest liars around and they are always innocent (in their minds) no matter the evidence against them. The above once again just proves the research. Should have been a permanent ban imho.

well i guess your "proven" research isn't completely accurate. i am by far one of the most brutally honest people you could ever know. if i think someone is worthless i will tell them just what i think: that they are worthless. sue me? GW is such "srs bsns", no doubt!


edit: it's still amazingly funny that the majority of the people bitching and complaining are the ones who themselves bot/leech/break EULA on a daily basis/ect.

So you can't grief ingame anymore, so now it's time to annoy people on the forums? Are you looking for another ban?

Take your punishment like a man and sit those 72 hours out. Be glad you didn't have a perma ban on your az.

lolllll wtf are you talking about? have you even been reading ANYTHING myself or others have said thusfar? fyi, my suspension ended quite a while ago.

so far from what i can conclude from the young children of GW is this: if i explain what's going on it's "being a liar", if i correct people, it's me "being immature", and now, if i slighty defend against what people say it's me "griefing" ? good lord... this generation of kids has always be something to be shunned upon.

and another fyi, i can "grief" anytime i want in-game, there is nothing holding me back for that. kudos to what is called a "job" and furthermore "money" to afford multiple accounts.

silly, silly kids. i love them! they are SO pathetically amusing.

Yes you can. We can also call you a (prick) for doing it. There is nothing holding us back. I don't think anybody here likes you or what you did, so please stop trying to be condescending. From your language and overall maturity, I would guess 75-80% of the people in this thread are older than you.

he does come accross as a bit of a prize penis.

i actually defended him in game as i thought it genuinly was some kid just playing with his tonic a little too much, i didnt see what the big deal was. now ive seen him on here banging on about how cool he is sitting in kamadan with his virtual gf, i seem to have seen sense.

i love how jealous all of you are that my girl plays GW with me. the fact that my gf and i are always together on GW is ALWAYS brought up and used as a failed attempt to flame/troll me with the "virtual girlfriend" lines. it's obvious that GW hasn't the slightest possibility of having couples play together on it so "it MUST be an e-relationship". like nowai!

lol that's some amazing logic right there, amirite???

tbh you have better chances of seeing THIS happen than ever seeing a RL couple on GW together:


p.s.
-----
i love how all of you make me the very center of your worlds and spending all day everyday attempting to provoke me whever i log onto GW (whether via local chat or PM). you know who you people are who i am talking about, and it's a LOT of you who were on this thread, posting negative comments.

overall: thx for the HUGE boost in e-peen over the years! i couldn't have done it without you!

This is incorrect usage of the word honesty.

Honesty refers to objective truth, and a greater degree of personal truth than how you have used it. If you think/feel something about someone and you state exactly what you are thinking/feeling, this does not indicate an expression of honesty. The value of honesty needs to be free from self-deception.

Expressions of honesty can not be oriented around another person, only because you cannot know truths about another person. The only brutal honesty a person can have is complete self-disclosure. In order for you to be “one of the most brutally honest people” someone could know, you would have to be completely self-revealing and authentic when you are around other people; and you would also have to be free of self-deception.

Furthermore, I can conclude that you are less honest than you claim to be, because being free of self-deception includes understanding one’s own emotions. To which, you have responded that you find “people bitching and complaining” to be “funny”.

A person with an honest relationship to himself and his own emotions would find “people bitching and complaining” unsettling, and not at all funny. How do I know this? Because the most brutally honest people I know of are human infants; they find bitching and complaining unsettling. If you were to bitch and complain around an infant, an infant wouldn’t laugh, it would begin screaming and crying. Infants are brutally honest to themselves first, and this is how they are able to be brutally honest with other people.

To take Master Fuhon's well written post one step further, finding people bitching and complaining funny would indicate a social immaturity. You are unsure how to react to people's "bitching and complaining" about your actions and to cover up this nervousness about how you are supposed to react, you laugh it off.

Do you live in your parent's basement?

It’s not about perspective. If I ask a blind man to describe an apple; using the best of what he thinks/feels, he could describe it as total darkness. This is not honesty, because this is an example of the blind man not recognizing he has failed communication between his eyes. Honesty is when the blind man tells you he cannot see the apple.

The reason for this: if I hand you an apple and ask you to describe it, your assessment is centered around you. Your description of its looks would be based on how the organs within your eyes were stimulated by reflected light. Your description of how it tasted would depend on how your taste buds were stimulated. The same would go for your senses of smell, touch, and hearing. You need to utilize your reaction to an object when that object isn’t you.

virtual GF? whatever floats your dingey brother. But, ive noticed that every time you mention the attention you get you end with that retarded little smiley emote.

I understand this is very exciting and it strokes the E-go but really.. come on already. Ever sense that Cryptic Devinci type message about "i have my reasons and you dont know them, because they are mine and mine and my girlfriends alone. but, you may know them some day if you unscramble the riddle of the 9 seals of the 12th prophecy.... and so on. Dude you clearly want people to talk about you. you said your friends told you to what lengths people were speaking of you. you then E-sprinted to the forumns and here you are.

Honestly its your perogative. but to claim some clandestine operation to show A-net "whos gettin theres" is just E-tarded already.

LET IT GO. your GF says she misses you in Kamadan
