Anyone else just got a perma ban?

firewalls.... they hold back programs you like to use, even those on the exception list
oh sure, mine is turned on, but many times i had troubles with program is used

heck, on my pc (which has no internet atm), i turned it off, and when i added GW to its exception list (while tuirned off), GW went faster..... i mean, huh??

the reason that pc has no internet is cuz the internet cable is broken

and yea, its real good to hear people get their accounts back

but thanks to that and some guild difficulties (joined random lux guild, while i am kurz myself, haha), i'm way less in the mood for GW lately

the day i lose GW, is the day i wont even bother buying/paying for other MMO's, unless 1 like GW shows up (if that happens, please be it from perfect world, even if it'd have an ingame store like those MMO's, or aeriagames)

anyway, lets hope for more innocent people to get unbanned, and for a few of anet (a few GOOD ones) to at least do something nice, aside from unbanning in GW

@ Mr. Cleary

Well some good news here. All of my flooding finally stopped. But since then I've been getting this and only this.

Trace this back to its origin and you'll find the reason and who is involved.

I have heard a rumor that you may have seen me collecting the zaishen bounties in Great Temple of Balthazar on many charrs that you may have thought were all separate accounts. they were not, I only ran 3 accounts from this ip:
Wishbone Flush with 22 charrs on it, capable of doing the bounties
Bon Fire Barbara with 10 charrs on it, capable of doing the bounties
Ishie Bishie (separate master account)with with 8 charrs on it, capable of doing the bounties
and absolutely no bots ever. I earned what I earned legitimately by the rules.
Blue Inferno Master (my nephew)account is also mine and was run from a different ip.
also never used bots in GW.
I truly believe we were set up. I hope you will check into this. A lot of innocent players were affected in it, and if it can happen here it can happen in GW2 too.

I don't know any other way to prove my innocence. please investigate this .......WISH

Funny thing, I asked friends and family and they didn't get an "Authorize log-in attempt" email either. However, when my brother was at my house and logged in from my computer he instantly received such an email.

I wonder why I am the only one with an IP address that triggers verification emails. The only thing different about my internet than everyone else is that I am using old-fashion DSL instead of one of the bigger pipes.

Oh, and btw., since I looked it up now: I didn't only have below 20 globs of ectoplasm, I actually had only 2 globs of ectoplasm ... well, never farmed ...

I have been logging in few days so far so good.It would be nice if some one from Anet would come in here and discuss this with us.

I think we have a better chance at all winning the lottery, Age.
Even the gw2 support ticket thread says 'Everything marked with a 1 is for Guild Wars 1 and I don’t review those here. However; I am looking at policy to speed up our response times.' So there is actually NO place to get any support for this game anylonger (I think THIS IS an issue that could be brought before the BBB----). And there is a thread about gw support basically asking where the hockeysticks we are supposed to go to ask questions about our tickets

and I have been playing too, I even traded myself a few items (talking to myself the whole time--good thing my doc isnt around, talking to myself, geesh).

this is new heres a smurf attack that just hit my firewall

something fishy going on here

I've gotten those for 2 years. I was blocked over something silly but i got my account back and since then every time I log on I would get an authorize log in attempt, I haven't noticed it affect anything though.

Their lack of support for this game really bugs me. Where do they get off just not giving a shit anymore? It's sad that they think people will still send them money for any game in their grasp given their past poor service.

They Anet should give up those forums of theirs as they don't know how to run one.They should just use the fansite as always considering you are only aloud a 45 word char limit.

I played the lottery a few years but I know what you mean.

Those login messages you get if you log in a gw1 account that is linked to a gw2 account and you log in from another IP address than the one authorized for gw2 account already.

Mystery solved

They are harmless, just spam.

Btw, port 57720 on tcp? Thats either DNS root server or some apple store protocol.

Oh and... for some reason... my firewall protocol looks similar to that of Wishbone, but my accounts arent banned Might be because thats the usual internet chatter going on.

I keep getting them even though I have all IP's I ever log in from authorized for gw2. I even tried deleting them all and re-authorizing them, I keep getting spammed.
A small inconvenience, but I still wish it werent so =P

I mean... gw hasnt been lovingly dubbed "Bug Wars" for nothing ^^

You could try sending a ticket via gw2 support. That might actually work quite fast. Saying you get random authorization requests via eMail for your gw2 account and dont know how to stop them

But, make sure they dont ban your gw2 account for it preemptively. They seem to like doing that.

So... looks like if you haven't yet been unbanned or had a repsonse to your ticket, you're screwed. This was posted on the GW2 support thread about old tickets.

"Everything marked with a 1 is for Guild Wars 1 and I don’t review those here. However; I am looking at policy to speed up our response times. This will involve upholding banned accounts under all circumstances so if you’re appealing a ban from 2010 you won’t see a response from us."

Can't they just sell the game and its existing state to a company like Google or even Blizzard? A company with active teams of technical support staff.

google or blizzard? no way, at least do something like perfect world then
they may have a bad name for ingame stuff which give you buff, and make money out of the ingame store mostly, but at least arent as money hungry as the 2 you mentioned

heck PW even has FREE expansions to an already f2p game (real FREE to play, as you dont buy classes and such with money, you already have em all) and they fix bugs when needed

but yea, i'm starting to think anet2 (thats what i call the new anet) hasnt much left to give GW, as they are dumb enough to ONLY give GW2 attention cuz its their moneysink now.... stupid ingame store with expensive gems..... AND the € and $ are just as high prices, so if one pays 5$, another pays 5€, fair eh? NOT, in case you didnt get it, as the € is worth much more... always has been

if GW would become more alive content wise, with such ingame store, anet2, plz give us that and update our game
why i'd want that? ingame store stuff is NOT needed, its just for the looks mostly (in GW2 its for the looks only, i heard)

i dunno why people get angry cuz of such ingame stores anyways, they are not needed, and even in GW i wont buy a crystalline sword, even if i could afford one, as its so friggin expensive if you cant get it yourself, like me
i'm gonna do rragar on NM sometimes (suck at HM) to have a small chance of getting dryad bow, hoping i'd get a req9, cuz i like that bow, but not gonna farm so much (which i also suck at) just to get one with those idiot community prices

so ingame store isnt bad, as i can play without it (although i used it in PW to fly, as that makes the game WAY faster than walking all that just to do 1 kill rats quest and back, and the quests are 1 by 1, not 10 at 1 time)

anyway, game away from anet2 = NOT to money hungry companies as blizzard and google, who dont even know what to do with it, and if they figure out, they ask moneymoneymoney

As a Dutchie currently residing in the US, I do and dont agree with the dollar and euro argument. I found it doesnt end up really mattering much at all from where I get my gems (US or NL), I tend to end up spending around the same because the purchases made in US dollars will have a tax slapped onto them, while that doesnt happen in NL. Obviously this varies since neither the dollar nor the euro is stable in the least bit, but the difference isnt enough for them to need to change it. If you buy from the UK however, and use pounds, you pay 7 pounds for something youd pay 10 euros/dollars for. They do take it into account, but maybe just not enough.

Id also much rather it end up in blizzards hands than PW, personally. Blizzard is moneyhungry, sure, but not close to what its been. With the WoW-coin coming out, and them having Heartstone as a free game with just extras in the store you could earn by playing.. Theyre headed for a good direction imho. I find PW to be more pay-to-win than blizzard, and pay-to-win would make me log off in seconds. Purely cosmetic stores or stores with stuff that doesnt give an unfair advantage im perfectly ok with, but as soon as it gives an unfair advantage, I'm out.

Can't say I blame them seeing it's a 2010 ban lolol Just people thinking because of recent banwave they can get their old ban lifted on the sly. lol

Oh, I didn't read it like that. I read it as saying that no bans would be lifted, regardless of circumstances or age.

pay to win is better than pay to play, i rather play the game without fees and see OPTIONAL things in the ingame store, than having to pay monthly, pay for the game AND pay for the expensions a game would get

again: those p2w items are OPTIONAL, meaning you dont need em
p2p isnt optional, meaning you NEED to pay

plus GW wouldnt get that... as much or at all
PW is not asking money for every little thing, except cosmetics and extra stuff you wont need

I know you dont NEED pay-to-win items, but it does give a rather unfair advantage. Personally I'd rather pay to play than pay to win, keeps the playing field more equal.

In all fairness there are MANY still not unban who deserve to be. As well as many unban that shouldn't be. Flawed methods are flawed.

Wow...I'm so glad I came back to read this thread. A friend told me that I should go and read guru. I did and noticed a lot of people got unbanned and so decided to check my account.
My account and my boyfriends account are now unbanned..having had no contact with support since my last try.
I really did not think I would ever get unbanned because the person from support that I spoke to was so insistent that my account had logged onto a computer that had at some point botted, and so was justly banned. I was so mad because I had done nothing wrong that I decided that I would never check the game or guru again.
Thank you so much to whoever sorted this

paying to win (buying buffs and such) is optional, as you can play most MMO's with p2w stuff without paying 1 cent or more

heck, in PW i paid for flying, but only to walk way less, and the game itself has buffs without paying, for events

heck, GW has merc heroes and consets and DP removers which wasnt supposed to be there, yet its not called a p2w game

you'd rather pay for a same game to play it witjout anyone being able to get them, every single month, plus the gam,e itself to buy, plus the expansions you have to pay for? you must be damm rich or feel "elite" when you have to pay alot for a game just to play it

besides, even if PW would buy GW, there's no way to say if they'd add it to GW, and even if they did, we got friggin consets you can buy WITHOUT reallife money, yet the game is alot of fun, so much that people return all the time
lately i felt empty cuz so many i knew left, but some started coming back and play it again

you wanna pay alot and not use buffs? good, buy everything you can on many accounts in GW, and only use what you got by buying the game and got ingame, that way you can pay what you want, yet not use the stuff from the ingame store, like merc heroes, unlock packs etc

then never use or get buffs ingame
i barely do use them anyways, i'll just farm clovers everytime i can to get lucky without getting unlucky, as i dont like that title
and i use merc heroes to build teams i like, i dont even copy builds from people, or pvx

even in games like PW, you can play without making use of pay to win, and enjoy the game as it is
i found many people and guilds where you didnt need to buy buffs to join, so thats no problem

also, people who pay every month for the same game feel too elite, and think that others are stupid and weak people.... i rather play p2w games than those games
sure, none of them have only good people, but p2p attracts people who think they are better, cuz they pay every month, and wanna use every moment they paid for to play it, else they waste a few dollars euro's or whatever you have as currency
its cuz they wanna play as much for each cent they paid for that game, and have to pay again and again, so they feel like they have to hurry enjoying the game, so wont help many people who arent as good
sure, a few do, but many wont

even GW as it is, with waaaaaaaaaaaaay less people nowadays, has more friendly people than the games i have seen and heard about

i dont pay so many coins for 1 single game, as free MMO's with p2w can be nice, and have many people who are like me in that area, i met plenty of them in PW alone already (didnt play much past year(s), as GW is way too much fun with building heroes and chars i use, heck, i'm even busy with 3 SF eles who have a few dmg skills and 1 has prot, 2 have restoration healing, and other heroes i used, but edited for this group), and reason i didnt find any in others yet, is cuz most are too boring with gameplay, and LOTRO.... i joined the wrong server for that, but reallife friend is there, so wanna play with him too, and i bought the moria expansion with RL money, so i'd get 2 char slots and 2 classes i'd otherwise dont have, the rest in played for

in many p2w games you even can get ingame store by points, which you can buy with ingame money, so play plenty, and buy stuff without RL money

anyway, i dont trsut moneyhungry google and blizzard, and would think that perfect world would be much better with it.... they dont even need to change much, maybe just the servers and ingame store(which isnt ingame now, but would be then), and even if they'd sell materials and such in the ingame store, you can get em ingame

anyway, PW can be trusted way more if its about customers than others
hell, sell GW to turbine (who made LOTRO), and its better than those other 2

i quit this, as it'll be "no, you are wrong" even though i get to hear that from people who never made MMO's or such, i just say what i see happen, and what i think about it

if i could choose, i'd say that ncsoft should take it over with a small group IF anet would screw up or wants it gone, and will take care of that

I just thought it would be nice if a company like Google bought GW. I don't have the knowledge to know if that is really feasible. But if this were to happen, they could just operate it under Google's general Terms of Service. Plus we could probably call Google by phone and speak to a live rep for any issues. Since when were we able to do that with Arena/NC?

Joke? lol.

Why would google buy Anet or NC Soft? It does nothing for them.

Lol, yes, my 18k a year makes me hella rich. Why cant you just read that I said "Personally", as in, that's just my opinion? Youre making this into a mud throwing fest when it just started as two people sharing their different views -.-
In MY OPINION, i PERSONALLY, dont FEEL that p2w games are enjoyable to ME. Yes, theyre optional purchases, but it gives an ADVANTAGE to those dishing out EXTRA MONEY. Which again, I PERSONALLY FEEL makes the playing field uneven. Sorry if me having an opinion offends you, jeez. Not everyone is going to share yours. Why does it bother you so much that I indeed would rather pay monthly than have a pay to win shop? Just accept that different people prefer different things.

Whatever, I'm out.

I don't mean buy the company Anet or NC. I mean just take over the game, run it on their servers, they own it and everything. But I'm sure they'd sooner start up a new online game than buy an existing one that's a decade old.

hello? i was talking about me not trusting those 2 companies with an MMO like GW

now you blame me for not accepting your opinion, while i gave my own about yours

well, if you're pissed off that easily, then i guess i quit this too

good luck and have fun.....

What I "blame" you for is making assumptions about my financial status/"leet" status, based on a preference I have in gaming. That was totally uncalled for and hostile. Thats starting to take out opinion and introducing mud slinging.
In a normal, civil discussion, you keep things at opinions, and dont start assuming things about the other person. I've been dreadfully poor all my life and have just started to crawl up. I take high offense to you basically calling me a spoiled rich brat, over what WAS a civil discussion.

Wont post again on these forums, goodbye guru.

It would be unfortunate if you'd leave just because of this one guy. That Ayuhmi entity has rubbed many people the wrong way in the past.
And not everyone is like him. Heck, luckily, he seems rather unique on this forum. It could actually just be his (lack of) language skills.

All the best to you though.

A friend who has Facebook tells me that her FB group [Guild Wars: A New Beginning ? A New Hope?] has almost 700 members, and that Gaile Gray is one of them. Perhaps that group would at least offer a possibility that Gaile would see a post. Would be nice!!

Actually, 803. And I don't see Gaile Gray, maybe she has a nickname.

anyone thought about pestering them at pax?

and it started with me saying that i dont trust google and blizzard to take over GW

try to f..... ignore me then, geez

at least admit that blizzard and googel are moneyhungry people before you go

and thanks for making me sound like an AH, naturelover, all i did was giving my opinions (also in the past) and i got "no, that will kill the game" or "your opinion is wrong" (2nd is one i still dont get)
and also got such replies when i explained WHY i thought about stuff the way i do

anyway, have more unbans happened?.... and more bans? i mean, are they still banning people now?
i heard that anet let GW out of the loop, is that true? got to hear it from ingame
i doubt it, but it might happen that way

Doubt it will make a matter. They didn't even really discuss the ban wave til After we did here then I posted about it in that fb group. From what I saw of that group is abunch of shallow minded noobs. I was told everything I have in this game was from bots lol. I had a good laugh & left the group. haha Cause 6 years of buying & selling wouldn't equal to what i've built(even though others have built more) but how can I argue with such ignorance? I don't need to lolol

The FB group said you must be a bot??? What on earth did they base this on???

I think calling over 800 members a bunch of shallow minded noobs, based on 2 or 3 idiots, is highly unfair. You left the group before you could see that an admin came to your defense.

To be fair, I did recently send a support ticket to change the email address on my game log in. They were fast about helping me do that.

Guys guys guys...

Just play this game, enjoy, logout, take a deep breath outside in your garden.
This drama thread is running out of control of peoples opinions and accusations.
If this game will ever die, then deal with it, or join some sketchy private server.

On the "i dont deserve a ban" people that have shed crocodile tears, Anet has fabricated a BOT to ban BOTTERS, it runs via an algorhytm that detects any numbers that should not align in their client.

So basicly, they pressed the big red button, and didn't look back at it.
Big deal, it happens in tons of games.
And dont expect them to do it manually just because you feel you need a special treatment in your case.

Simply put, they dont give a fk about the GW1 community as they are simply no beneficial source of income, so why would they bother.
