Most teams carry 1-2 noobs that suck anyways, not much of a difference.

reminds me of when BkBd got bought out of cavalon.
everyone that gave faction for it should be banned for town manipulation.

Well, to me, it sounds like a scam. Bring people along and IF you guys win they pay you?

Although, even though to me it sounds a little out-of-place, I don't think a perma ban was neccassary. I'm thinking if they would have banned you for a week, you would have gotten the message, a perma ban is just too strong of a punishment for the act you did. Maybe you are good, maybe you do get noobs fame, which doesn't seem right to me, but a perma ban? Ouch. Too harsh Anet, too harsh.

Or me getting perma'd for saying "b i t c h give it back" to my girlfriend in our GUILD HALL where we were COMPLETELY SECLUDED and CUT OFF from the entire GW population? (they found out I said this b/c they have been stalking my every chat log for the last month-- I have proof from Gaile via personal email to confirm this accused stalking) and saying the word "gay" in a CORRECT way of using it (basicly, saying it in reference in the definition of "happy"/"thrilling").


YAY communism!!

It's really not an "if" for some teams... especially when it comes to the first few HA maps.

There really needs to be an "I was banned!" section on these forums.

ProTip: that isn't communism. If it was, you'd have a say in it, as would every single other person.

Has more in common with capitalism. "You'll do what I say because I have money and power and you don't."

Honestly, Anet has lost it when it comes to bans. How can this ever be a bannable offense? Pretty stupid if you ask me.

yes, yes i was. *sigh*

12,900 hours and 38 months down the drain-- not to mention 35 maxed titles, r9 hero, r3 champ r4 glad (VERY close to r5), r3 comm, r12 lux, r12 kurzm, 2 full sets of tormented items, EVERY mini pet as UNDED (excluding the asian ones), 37.5 stacks of ectos, FoW armor on every profession, and hundreds worth of dollars 'vested into character slots (21 in total), BMP, campaigns, ect.


The company that runs GW is trash, biased, and, well, communistic. I refuse to ever play GW again as long as it is under control of the current PlayNC support team.

lets hope you're not in customer service then, you wouldn't be keeping the job for too long.

Either way, taking advantage of someone who can't find a team is pretty crappy in my book. Good luck!
How is it taking advantage of someone if they themselves chose to pay? If the buyer makes a conscious decision to buy an ingame service then they aren't being taken advantage of. By your logic, people that pay for droks runs are being taken advantage of because they can make it there themselves.

whether or not fame farming is or should be illegal is a different issue, but I don't think a perma ban was suitable. A warning would have been sufficient.

Yes, but that's not the defining feature of communism; it's a corruption of it. It really should have been "Yay for restriction of personal freedoms!"

@Topic: So when are they going to retroban everybody who got their Commander titles /rolling? There's your OBVIOUS "match manipulation" for you.

Hmm... just keep e-mailing them. It's obvious the support team doesn't even understand your complaint. This is no different from running or any other service offered in the game. Furthermore, its not like the guy just AFKs. He actually does participate in the match. (and Scar ra, you can't exactly "play the game yourself" in PvP where you by definition NEED a team).

An official clarification of this policy would be nice since it clearly doesn't fall into the ladder manipulation category.

Rule of Lenity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_Lenity
When a rule has conflicting interpretations, people should find in favor of the "defendant" since there was insufficient notice that his conduct was against policy.
A.net should have to put people on notice on what policies exist before enforcing them.
