So following a tangent from the discussion here*, I'm curious, has anyone who had been banned as part of the 3700 accounts been unbanned? (I'm not talking about normal everyday bans, but the big ban event several weeks ago.)
I'm simply curious, because this would give legitimacy to A.net's claim that they are actually reviewing cases and not just botting every inquiry.
If so, post the e-mail that they sent you.

Has anyone accused of botting been unbanned?

idk about the 3700, but once there was a mass banning of people who botted the kurz HFFF when it existed. Later they were all unbanned and let off with a warning. This has been quite a while ago now. November 13, 2008 update made the run impossible.

As far as I know/heard, several people have been unbanned (people who were perma'd for KSmoD injecting, ect). My sources are based off of Gaile's Wiki page.

i wouldn't know as i have never tried to cheat in GW by botting. haven't noticed a big enough decline in population to care either.
Fusylum
I honestly don't care how bad people feel, they honestly knew they were 'cheating' at something to get what they wanted... and ended up getting what they deserved
Hopefully everyone stays Perma Banned

Chances you won't hear from them if they do, it's always easier to complain than show gratitude or post on an issue fix.
99% of what sounded like legitimate complaints were squires who probably posted once or twice, got accounts back, and will never visit here again.
The rest were clearly botters hiding behind excuses.
The fact such complaints are already fading into non-existence should be answer enough.

Since I don't hang out with those types of players, have not heard of anyone getting an account back. They are not coming out of the woodwork however.

I dunno, I've heard rumors that people who actually *botted* were being let off by anet. No reliable sources though, hence rumors.

I botted, I got banned, I stay banned.
All my respect for A-net would go straight out the window if they unbanned me.
Now I know many of you will look down on me, okay.
I'm leaving GW anyways.
And if you wanna know why I botted it's because I find it very fun to try and make optimal bots and really fast runs.
I havent sold/spent any of the money I made on anything else then consets to speed up my runs and giving it to mates
I cant believe botters who cry over this, I knew perfectly well what I was getting into when I first injected GWCA
Just wanted to give you my view on things.

After half a dozen prompt yet essentially uninformative responses from Anet I am yet to get my account back. I still retain a modicum of faith that this error will be resolved although my faith in the Guild Wars franchise has been almost completely lost. I feel betrayed, but I will not give up.

I didn't bot, I got banned and then unbanned after explaining the case to Support.
If you're banned by accident, email them politely and be patient as your ticket gets passed up the chain then it'll get sorted I feel.
I'm actually quite grateful and impressed for the way in which Support handled my query considering they could have simply told me to get lost

Botting is one of the more serious offenses you can do on the game. Unless you can prove you weren't botting then NO. If you got banned for botting and was actually was doing it I don't think Anet is going to welcome you or anyone else back anytime soon.
Move Down
I didnt bot and got banned and still they didnt fix it they suck.
But even if they would ficx it now it would not play any game of ncsoft anymore.
I dont want this to happen again.
If they would fix it prob i would break the EULA and sell the account

I know someone who was banned then bought a new account rom the NC store and had that new account banned. They unbanned the newly purchased account but his main is still banned (rightly).
Melkorium
My account was reinstated as a 'courtesy' after they had asked me for quite alot of account information like CD-Keys etc. They also asked why I had a second account registered on the PlayNC account.
After I had explained the reasons the account was unbanned. I'm too lazy to screenshot so you can believe or not

Someone in LA was "wts guild 7.5k" 2 nights ago. One of my officers was with me and decided to check it out. (Thinking about just doing an alliance with guilds on second accounts to bid on outposts) So he gets an invite to join and checks the status. Lots of account deletions, terminations etc. in the status and lots more leaving normally. 11million+ alliance... falling apart. He figured out that it was a bot guild and declined the offer. (Even offered the 100g back to the leader.) The leader then offered to sell it for 3.5k. I lol'd.

Those bans where not for hacked accounts so you wouldnt need any cd keys in my opinion.

This is my first post here, I've been a lurker in guru since gw was out.
I bought GW when it came out in 2005, never botted, never did anything illegal, stopped playing when GW2 was first announced and GWEN came out.
Ocasionally I came back to check on items/gifts and today, for the first time in 6 months I logged in and got an error saying I had my account blocked.
I've sent a support ticket today and am still waiting for a response.
Cheers

I was banned. I haven't even played Guild Wars for at least a year. I logged in to my ncsoft master account to change my email address about a month ago and between then and now I was banned.

I know of some banned people, as far i know while some of them have been banned for stuff i would hardly consider botting or cheating (they used a tool who allowed fast travel between outpost and automatic material building for cons) they do all have injected the dll.
If you wasn't playing you might have left the account to some friend (pretty common thing before leaving a game) and they could have done the botting.

All my friends got unbanned after they botted. The excuse they used was that they got hacked by a third party company. It was easy. Since most of my friends go to college, they have 2 physical IP's they can use to make such a claim. Anet took the bait of course since they can't disprove the claim. Even if they did an IP check, the college's IP would differ from my friend's home's IP. It was interesting.

I have been unbanned about six times so far for botting. course one of the times some jackass hacked my account and stole all my stuff. and no it wasn't a third party app, with a keylogger in it. I programmed it myself. so far I have made back my investment into the game. I just tell em I got hacked again. give em the cd keys and poof, unbanned.
