Yea, so if they arent actually enjoying the game enough to play it properly and need to bot, then they shouldnt care one bit when they lose their accounts, but they still whine like crybabies bragging about their hours and ectos, which they didnt actually play or farm themselves lol.

Plus, most of them buy several accounts of a game they do not enjoy ... I wander why ....

That's funny about having multiple accounts when getting banned on one means banning them all. Good riddance Mr. Moneybags.

There is no naming and shaming, I don't see the harm.

Also those people brought it on themselves.

No need, but it sure is fun. You have to keep in mind these are the same people who caused us grief for years in pvp. So yes, I am like Eric Cartman in the episode Scott Tenorman Must Die - "Yes! Yesss! Oh, let me taste your tears...Mm, your tears are so yummy and sweet!...Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness! My-yummy!"

But do we have your permission to scoff at their feeble excuses?

"It's unfair that I got banned, I never botted! Well, just that one time...sure, for about five months... but Anet MADE me do it... I'm innocent!"

When I did, I accepted my punishment. These people who have manipulated the game towards their own benefit should stop QQ'ing and do the same. I'm just annoyed that some of their accounts got away.

The guy saying "Anet owes me....<blah blah>" needs have something shoved where the sun don't shine.

They blatantly broke the rules and some flaunted it. They deserved every ounce of it and more.

If people bot or cheat in an online game, and then whine and QQ after being banned because they still expect to keep their accounts, then they are idiots worth pointing and laughing at.

If an account genuinely gets deleted without having done anything wrong, then you need to contact support and go through the process of trying to get back your account before complaining and bragging about all the stuff you lost.

The internet is a cold and malicious place. If it doesn't seem like you can handle it, I suggest you stop while you're ahead.


Anet made an example out of these people, why can't we do the same?

I did and I'm just warning that people are getting their new accounts banned on the spot. They need to contact Anet *before* buying a new account so they don't get auto banned. Also, this:

Thank you ANet for aiding the environment by banning the people most likely to leave their computer on all night, wasting energy and causing pollution.

Turn off your computers when you're not using them OR DHUUM WILL FIND YOU.

FYI, there isn't any "duped" minipets in this game. It was only possible to dupe stackable items (ectos, armbraces, dyes etc).

There was a time where there were duped minis, but they fixed that bug so long ago that there basically aren't anymore in the game. Lol And there's probably even less of the ones that WERE duped because of banned accounts before, and there's probably half that now because of all the banned accounts now.

Guess you weren't around when all the dupers duped enough to BUY rare minipets. Yes you heard me right. I have NEVER EVER seen "thousand's" of duped rare minipets anywhere. If there were "thousands" it'd be bloody friggin obvious don't you think?

I think they used the wrong terminology about the minis on that one, there was a time that you could acquire 1st year minis if you created a new char initialy just before the first year minis were introduced to the game.

Anet fixed this with a server role back of a couple of hours its the only thing i can think of that involved a possible exploit on miniatures.

Other than that yeah if rare minis were duped and not removed from the game we would easily have known about it.

LOL @ all these no lifers that lost all this stuff. How sad for all your virtual junk you invested real time into, only to be stupid enough to use a bot and lose all of it. HAHAHAAH, so amazing. Even if only 10% of these stories are true, it's still epic. I actually don't praise ANET for doing this, as it's their job to do it. Better late than never, but cheaters get what they deserve. What I will give credit to ANET for is the Dhuum banning everyone idea. That was classic.

Nah, he admitted on teamquitter that he used bot to farm eotn titles... among other things. Don't think he'll be getting unbanned anytime soon.

From Wiki

Quote:
- Adding the above statistics there are a total of 49 Mini Vizus in the game.
- After the duplication exploit, there were countless high-end miniature pets that were lost due to accounts being permanently banned. The actual number of these remaining in the game is impossible to determine.
The trouble is that a duped mini is indistinguishable to a real mini. So even though Anet probably knows where all these minis are they can’t ban people for possession of them and they can’t remove the mini pet because

a) They don’t know if it is a legit one or not
b) The player has spent thousands of ecto and armbraces on it only to have it removed from their account (which isn't fair on the player and would piss them off enough to probably stop playing or to take action against anet).

Did he affect your game play? Insult you? Stop you from playing GW? This whole situation on Anet banning botter's is so stupid it doesn't deserve the numerous threads it has. Especially people like aspi who are now riding the dicks of Anet employee's

It took them this long, no need for any more celebration or praising.

P.S There are still tons of bots running around and GW will never be a bot free/RMT free etc environment.

Yes, yes and yes. The whole idea of botting is very insulting and pretty much the reason I quit playing the game. You really thing this whole situation is so stupid? enjoying your ban perhaps? This is indeed a time to celebrate.

Sorry but for the amount of time it took for them, This barely dented the bots in this game. Still plenty running around and in a few months we will be bitching about it again. Then again, only reason GW has problems is because its F2P.

Is that supposed to take away from the enjoyment of seeing a bunch of blatant cheaters separated from their accounts? Because it does not.
