I seriously doubt it.

Pretty sure visiting warez/hack sites can't get you banned.

So you PM someone that tells you 'gw might track u!!!!!' and only worry about the consequences afterwards? Not a very smart thing to do, don't you think?

I am very sure you wont get banned lol, just make sure that you scan for any viruses and spyware if you don't already have an anti-virus program. Never know what can come from places like that.

You'd have to physically run an illeagal program that gives you an unfair advantage yada yada to get yourself banned, so i am sure you'll be okay.

Yeah, the worst that can happen is getting your account stolen via a keylogger and/or banned from these forums for posting someone elses screename.

Don't EVER go to an FTP site that someone advertises in game. 100% Scam waiting for a sucker.

i wouldn't go to any site anyone in-game tells you about. Unless it's a site you know about already. Other than that, you won't get banned, but you will get yourself into trouble with viruses, key loggers, and if you use their services related to gws, then you will get possibly banned.

You were probably keylogged in the process

File Transfer Protocol. Usually you just transfer files between computers in an explorer-like interface.
