I apparently just got perma banned for selling gold for irl money on my account and I'm pretty sure I've never done that.... Anyone else with this problem?

I had a number of accounts banned. I haven't played in awhile and just logged back in to get in free to the underworld. Literally got smack down from Dhuum, I was like WTH is that and then it went to the log in screen.

I sent an email to support looking for more info.

Basically just did the same thing asking what is going on and giving them a long explanation of how and what, let's just hope they reply back tbh.

Update: now it says I've botted instead of selling gold for irl cash on my account... thing is getting weirder and weirder with the minute..

Really? People aren't getting banned for NO reason.

Anet is banning for botting and gold buying/selling it seems.

Dude, I have been around since 2005, I've never ever bought gold/sold gold/items whatsoever. I have never botted and I don't even know how a bot works. And I'm serious about that. I don't even know where to find a bot, or where to even buy gold online, but I think all of that takes the fun away from the actual game. See my point? That's why I'm wondering why I got banned and some other people too who are probably in the same shoes as I am currently.

I do agree that some people indeed had it coming, but some actually didn't do a thing ;p.

Just to clear things up. I hope my post wasn't taken the wrong way. It wasn't directed at you specifically. You just posted the reason that I am sure everyone is using, so I was commenting to that.

I am sure most of the people that banned were done-so correctly. This ban wave has been rumored for a while.

I don't know you personally, so I don't know if you were a part of it or not. I was just responding to that post in the generality.

99% of the bans were justified. I think the people are mad because they had accounts that survived so they question why all their accounts weren't banned.

Grow up and accept it people. Like Qbit said, stop pretending to be innocent.

I lost two accounts, one had a polar and 9 toons full of consumables. I accept it. Oh well !

3,700 Acc's closed for 3rd party programs. There will be no appealing their decision I've been told by the GM I was in contact with. Been real peeps this is so long from Flint.

To my haterzツ I know you'll remember me, think of me & care about me but I won't be thinking or caring about you haha.

I have been a part of the ban wave, sadly. I had heard of the ban wave, but didn't know I would be banned, especially since I bought a new toon slot 30 mins before the ban.

@The Wolf of Kamadan
I do get it that most of the bans are well deserved, but sadly some weren't well deserved. Some people actually didn't bot or whatsoever, pity you lost your polar and your consumables tho.

Glad to see something finally done. Throughout the company's entire history have they waited to long on everything whether it be updates, rewards, or just plain management of their game. So many people took advantage of the laziness for a very long time. This game was a true masterpiece, if they acted quickly even more could be done to breath life into the game.

So absolutely true. GW2 is a joke and GW had so much potential. Always to little to late. This most recent banwave has been a long time coming.

I'm glad some issues have been settled in game, though we have some loose ends to settle here too. . .

I do kind of wonder why they care all of a suddenly. Unless they have cared all along. No way this happened on a whim. They had been planning it a while.

A cynical part of me wonders if it was triggered because of HzH hitting over 100mil faction with Altruum not far behind. Someone finally woke up and thought 'Hey, with the current player base, that sort of faction isn't possible any more' and from there decided to take out other people. Someone in alliance said 2 bots were banned mid JQ match so... as much as some people have been saying they did nothing wrong, some of the bans at least were legit.

Not "or". Maybe "and", but feathers, bones, plant fibers, etc are definitely gonna go up in price a lot.

i was in the ally that owned hzh it wasnt bots the ally was a big active ally with ppl mtscing

----------

and i think its a ban to shut down the servers befor the new gw2 expo hits the market what better way to force a big game expo then to let the original run for a few more years leech the last of its money from it then ban a bunch of people so they can shut down the servers and make people go to gw2 befor there new expo
