Those alt accounts could be easily taken at bots since they are doing the same activity the whole time. Rinse and repeat with more characters/accounts....then you are really looking like a bot! And if you are getting a run, you are really not doing any keyboard or mouse work so ---you are a bot!!!!

At which point in time load of folks are going to be considered bots and banned for it. Then good luck trying to PROVE to anet that you are NOT botting. (you are the one that will have to do the proving, they have already convicted you and executed sentencing).
(see where this is going?)

So dont use alt accounts for anything other than transferring funds, never play on more than one account at a time--you are botting then since you can not possibly work more than one computer at a time!! (and as the banner said, there is NO legitimate reason to have more than one account anyways).

so yes, Max --the rest of you are all doomed if you have more than one account.

I see what you're saying, but when they look at the actions of the accounts they would see a discrepancy in the actions of the accounts. Pathing, time between actions etc. All of which would point to a human player. Automation is what gives bots away. The whole tombs debacle with bots farming the first floor for example. Same thing time after time.

If you analyzed my runs, you'd see all sorts of differences between runs. My resigning before accepting all rewards (oops), time difference in toggling between stances or even forgetting to keep them up for a moment, forgetting to click on my name by one of the mules and having to run back etc. No two runs would be exactly the same.

What sucks is, I don't have access to that info. So Anet could just say I'm guilty, choose to ignore any plea for evidence and that's it. They're the witnesses and judge. No cross-examination possible. All I can hope for now is some transparency on their part or a better explanation of what I may have done to deserve this if at all.

I appreciate the feedback though, it gives me more to think about. Thanks!

since they have put you down as a bot, you have very little chance of even having a review (since the person who flagged you can not have possibly have been wrong!) and they say they wont even bother reviewing some of them since they have the proof that says you are--no appealling it!

So you can only hope that a sympathetic person gets your ticket and decides to really look into it and find that you really were NOT a bot (but really as I mentioned before the guy banning us says there is no reason to have alt accounts other than for the wrong reasons!)
My hopes are not very high

I have to wonder if the person who did the banning has even played this game and for how long. You amass a lot of stuff playing it at a more "hardcore" level.

I ran out of room fairly quickly with just 1 tab in my chest. Even after buying expansions and getting more tabs, it wasn't enough. Even after the anniversary tab and buying 4 more tabs, I still needed room.

So my main account has extra chars filled with booze, party stuff, and sweets. Then I have chars filled with clovers, misc. cons, tonics, zcoins, runes, trophies and more.

My second has chars of each profession that hold runes for that profession. I have 5 chars that hold 5 of every kind of inscription in the game.

My third has chars of each profession to hold elite armor and weapons.

My fourth has chars of each profession to hold green and gold weapons.

My fifth has trophies that drop as I play, so that I can have a head start on what Nick might want.

It's not hard to accumulate a lot of stuff playing this game and I admit to being a bit of a hoarder so that I can make weapons for specific needs or for my heroes.

And there's more, much more that was gotten though hard work without ever using GWx2.

All on hold for the moment and possibly gone for good.

I understand...I am a hoarder as well....but I also like to make characters....I had a full account of characters (max 35) and then my alt accounts had 8 or 9 each as well, some were just mules (material storage, minipet storage--cant seem to delete them, tonic storage, etc)....so yeah, I filled my main quickly as well as 2 other accounts. The ones I have left are minipet storage and trophies/quest item storage...guess I could delete some of those minis now.
I also like to play the quests/missions again with different character--with soo many skills to pick from none of my eles even had the same skill set up!
and yep all on hold/gone.

You might need to join the guildwars2 forum for that contact. She has a thread where you post your ticket number & info for unresolved issues.

Thank you for telling Galie Gray for final resort. This really additional useful infor for me no doubt.

Don't forget to tell them if you used the online store and if you don't have your cd keys handy give them the last 4 digits of your cc.

It would be nice to get Gaile would come back on here to clarify this up as to running GWx2 and texmod as those programs were allowed in the past.

I always use Texmod when i log in to GW - and still using it. Multilaunch i have used for vq areas with 2 acc at the same time - and ofc trading/moving stuff from one acc to the other.
And nothing else - no ban for me (not yet though

).

I still use Texmod and multilaunch - and if I get banned for that - its ok with me, because i dont think its "cheating" ...

Here's a new question to ponder:

Could having a mouse with buttons on it that activate your skills be considered a third-party program?

They say it's ok to re-assign buttons for your skills, but I wonder if it flags the account somehow?

There is no client side anti cheat system in GW1 or GW2, they detect repeating patterns server side, like movement to a certain coordinate over and over. The reason for ban is most likely trading duped items or trading to a flagged account (gold sellers), running same missions over and over like the snowman mission, anything that makes you look like a bot.

Surely if this was true, anyone who repeatedly farmed the same area would be flagged as a bot?

If everyone who traded with a flagged account was banned, there would be far more people banned. I know for a fact that I have traded (legitimately) with people who have been banned. As a trader, I will have traded with many hundreds of people over the years.

The very nature of trading items to generate money to fund my collection means that I will have had trade windows open and completed sales with many people who are now banned. And I'm still here....

Stumbled across this newer(?) caveat to dual boxing, which I'd assume would apply to GWx2.

https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/foru...st#post1532762

"Dual- or Multi-Boxing

1.You may use more than one account at the same time.
2.You may use more than one computer at the same time.
3.You must be actively playing on each account."

So what's the difference between a Gloom runner before the SF nerf running a party of 6 through that area and a person doing it with other accounts of their own?

In both cases, one account, the runner, is doing the work while the others are pretty much idle or even afk.

You can just dismiss this by saying it can't be done anymore, but I just got an Urgoz run last week and I didn't do anything but die with 6 other people and watch the runner. And Gloom can still be run, solo now, so that's a party of 7 there as well.

I'm wondering at this point why they allowed any 3rd party programs to be used in the first place. If they can't handle the ramifications of such decisions, the greyish nuances that such decisions inevitably bring up, then why didn't they just make it black and white and bar all such programs?

I'm not really looking for an answer. Corporate mentality is linear at best. /sigh

Thanks for the support and comments guys. It's making things easier.

Whether to but GW2:HoT though. I'm having a hard time seeing myself throw more money at a company that can be so negligent. Maybe a response to my ticket will give me an answer.

So has anyone had any luck with Anet's "clean slate" policy?

A couple of snippets from Gaile Gray's page on the wiki (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User:...ot_Ban_Details)

Quote:

I only used TexMod or another third-party program that ArenaNet has approved. Why was I banned?
It’s important to note that ArenaNet does not approve any third-party programs. The use of any third-party program in conjunction with Guild Wars is not advised or endorsed and is always expressly at the player's own risk. Players know that we have not targeted "benign" software—the kind that does not give a player any sort of in-game advantage—and that we have no intentions of doing so in the future. Further, we can make it clear that we do not believe it is in our interest to specifically target the users of software of this sort. But that's as far as our reassurances can go. We simply cannot make any promises that any third-party software, no matter its current claims or past history, is 100% safe. The best, safest course of action players can take is to not use any third-party programs that interact with Guild Wars in any way.

On the GWML, GWx2, and Texmod issue, I DO believe they were lenient on the use of those programs WHEN THEY HAD AMPLE STAFF TO MONITOR SAID PROGRAMS. However, due to the lack of effort on their parts, it seems like they had 1 guy go through and flag any sort of client modification and HWID ban anybody who was flagged for any sort of third party software/modification. Now, I HIGHLY doubt anybody here has never used GWML, GWx2, or Texmod. The problem is, I don't think they even care to expend the resources past this permanent banning as the EULA clearly states that they DO NOT support third party modifications and you should use them at your own risk. Looking back with 20/20 hindsight, I find it unwise to listen to Gaile Gray as this is clearly a typical ArenaNet going around something their community liaison has stated.

Quote:

Can I make a new account? Will I be banned if I purchase and create a whole new account?
Our general policy is that those making a new account are considered to have "a clean slate." We will not close such an account as long as it is not involved in breaches of the User Agreement or the Rules of Conduct. If you believe your account was closed in error, please contact Guild Wars Support as soon as possible so that your account can be reviewed and, hopefully, reinstated right away.

I've heard of some people buying new accounts through the store and getting banned again...Seems like Shazbawt is exploiting his authority over a dead game... Again, another typical ArenaNet move going around something they approved Gaile Gray to state on THEIR OWN WEBSITE.

The problem is not people being banned. The problem is ArenaNet is clearly going back on their words about certain issues and we NEED to hold them accountable for it. Instead of us all working solo on getting our issues with ArenaNet resolved, why don't we band together and fight them on this? Let's show them that this game is NOT dead and that they still have customers willing to put money into it!

and trading to gold sellers/duping would also be a different code for the ban not botting/3rd party programs.

and

yes, what is the difference between someone running someone thru a dungeon where the first thing they say is 'bring a vampiric weapon' so you die when walking thru the first gate....or others who have been afk the whole time while the runner does whatever as opposed to you running more than one of your accounts to do say a dungeon or quest? In the first you do the exact same thing (possibly nothing--no keyboard since you might be afk!----are you A BOT??) in the second you might do nothing as well each time. (what is the difference between this and the old death leveling in pre--you are afk they whole time therefor NOT hitting ANY keys! for hours---its that botting???)

as for trading.

unless they are going to ban my last 2 accounts---I have traded plenty of times with my self over the past bunch of years....only 4 are banned 2 are not. (and since it took them 2+ weeks to do the 2nd set of banning...perhaps there is more yet to come...) and my husbands account is still working as well, and we traded just the day or 2 before my bans.

Acct resto has been gone but it can still be turned on which it is in GW2.

I don't see no reason to use gwx2 for perma pre chars. to run them over the gate.

I wouldn't even care about gold sellers in GW if I were Anet if people want to buy it fine and it turns out to be scam it is at your own risk.You pay them and there is a no show don't whine to Anet.

I don't have twitter so maybe someone else can do this.

Some stuff to ponder.

A. I like Max have traded legitimately with many banned people. We are not banned.

B. I believe that anet looks for people doing the exact same thing over and over in giving bans for botting. That doesn't mean farming luxons assassins for 2 hours at a time, because I've done that many a times. It means they are looking for people doing the EXACT same thing every single time for 24 hours in a row+. That is not human. Farming for 2 hours is human. When a normal person farm, you don't hit all the same skills at the same time. Or run the exact same route. Bots do that. Players don't play like bots, I am sure it is easy for anet to tell the difference.

C. I have ran 2 accounts from my laptop many times, I am not banned. Sometimes I run myself. I am not banned. Granted I don't use multilaunch. So I don't know if that is a factor. But running 2 accounts alone isn't enough to get you banned, because I surely would be.

I really think that the majority of people that got banned, were doing things they shouldn't be. Many people have claimed that they did one of the 3 things in my list alone and were banned. I am very skeptical of that. Anet is looking for people breaking the rules. There is a difference between doing what is in my list of 3 things and breaking the rules. If the 3 things I listed were ban worthy, I think 99.9999% of GW would be banned. But that is clearly not the case. Anet is looking for more major things.

they are looking for people deliberately breaking the rules OVER AND OVER for personal gain.

That is not to say that no one was banned as a mistake. There may be some people that were. I don't know everyone making claims well enough to know if they were legitimately banned. I am just giving my own observations and thoughts.

I wish I could agree with you completely, granted most of what you said is true... unfortunately looking at their head of security's tactics, he went overboard on a lot of his methods. You can't use ArenaNet's tactics as an argument because, quite frankly, they haven't been using the same methods as they did when they had a full staff monitoring the game. In fact, I'm pretty sure, according to a few snippets (can't find links at work) that their staff for guild wars 1 is limited to something like 3 or 4 coders and like 5 other plebs, all of which have projects in GW2 as well.

One prime example is this- Shazbawt detects VMWare users and bans them due to the fact that he thinks they're botting because "wtf who uses vmware other than to hide their bots". However, what he DOESN'T realize is that some people who play at work have to use VMWare to run the game due to the fact that their company may not allow installs on their computers- I know of at least 15 people who do this, 8 of which have been banned so far, and don't ever play at home because they have families to take care of.

Keep in mind that I was rightfully banned, I am merely speaking for the people who I know were banned wrongfully but don't have the time nor the energy to appeal their efforts.

about texmod: i also heard there are bad version, which will give players an advantage, so be warned
i never used texmod myself, and am i happy.... in case this would go wrong

i'm not banned, and i never use texmod and dont even know how programs from bots look like, as i rather play the game myself, not let it get done by some program, cuz then i wont be able to have any goals..... would be useless if i'd let something else do all my goals

thought i'd just note this, that i'm not banned and dont use texmod and other programs which connect to GW.... and nothing else that would give me advantages, not even goldsell or goldbuy.... well, more ESPECIALLY not that, as i (as i said) rather play the game myself

i wish anet would give us some detailed list of what IS allowed, and what they wont ban you for FOR SURE

I was perma banned on gw2 for trying to flip on the trading post. Basically alt tabbing back into the game every 10-15 minutes and clicking on the TP to check if anything had sold. This apparently flagged my account for use of macros/botting and i got the perma b&. 3-5 days after contacting support they unban me and gave me some free shit that was all account bound and pretty useless for the most part. They also made sure to remind me that reversing the perma was a 1 time thing and if my account comes up with any mischief again i wont even get an appeal

so tl;dr if you are a legit person and has been banned you were probably hit with anets premature auto detection. that guy on twitter is 99% prob not banning every account himself

but if anet has changed what is and what isnt allowed then disregard this post. seems kinda stupid to enforce bans on multilaunch at this point in the games life but thats anets business.

gl to the innocent and lol@ the banned

http://legal.guildwars.com/en/gw-user-agreement-en.pdf ) states in section 4(i) "Related Accounts" that:
"If NC Interactive terminates an Account, NC Interactive may terminate any other Accounts that share the same member name, phone number, email address, postal address, Internet Protocol address, or credit card number with the terminated Account."

Which explains people getting multiple accounts banned whether they botted on them or not.

Just read that earlier today and thought the same thing. But before that is even more interesting.

"(h) Former Members. Members whose Accounts have been terminated by NC Interactive may not access the Service in any manner or for any reason, including through any other Account, without the express written permission of NC Interactive. Accounts accessed by Former Members are subject to immediate termination.

So with any account banned, a person shouldn't play the game at all with any other account, until the ban is removed or you have NC's permission to use another account.

So I jumped on an account (before reading the above) that wasn't banned to run the festival quests on one char. I guess that was a ban worthy offense right? So hands off until I get my other accounts back? So all my accounts are locked down, whether they were "officially" banned or not?

What's sad, is that their giving high priority to tickets revolving reactivation of GW2 accounts. No doubt because of the new expansion. So those of us who have been loyal customers for years have to wait for the newer players to get taken care of first. Money shouts while loyalty whispers.

Been playing on my 'other' accounts since my ban--and did all the festival quests with characters that could...and no ban for those accounts....and my husbands account is still fine (we do share the same ip--go figure, we even LIVE in the same blasted house).

yes, gw2 is much more important --they make money off if it and NONE from gw! They should have thought it thru a bit longer--gee lets ban a bunch of people at the same time we announce our big expansion--that wont cause any problems with support (yeah, right). Their thread is still going (7days w/o reply) oldest one I saw was from the 19th...so it will be some time before they decide to think about looking at tickets from our game (IF they ever do).
(and since I dont have a gw2 account and the beta signin I had is linked to a banned account, I have no way of posting in that thread, so gee...guess I get to wait and see if they do have 'support' or not).

Yes, this is exactly why I was worried about purchasing a new account. I wanted to hear from Anet before I bought a new account, but I have been waiting for 15 days and no reply.

i'm not banned, and i never use texmod and dont even know how programs from bots look like, as i rather play the game myself, not let it get done by some program, cuz then i wont be able to have any goals..... would be useless if i'd let something else do all my goals

thought i'd just note this, that i'm not banned and dont use texmod and other programs which connect to GW.... and nothing else that would give me advantages, not even goldsell or goldbuy.... well, more ESPECIALLY not that, as i (as i said) rather play the game myself

i wish anet would give us some detailed list of what IS allowed, and what they wont ban you for FOR SURE

Texmod is fine tho. if you are using it to get cartograpther and it is the only way to do so.
Read here the only part is the warning if it corrupts your client.

I would say if anyone has GW2 linked then then both accounts should be fine meaning GW.

I was thinking to buy more copies of gw. In win win sitiation, I supported and spend some money to appreciate gw as a wonderful game, and on the other hand I can have mule account.

Never knew this lead me to be banned. T.T

I don't play pvp. I mainly play uwsc and doasc. Of course some time do some farming manually for consumable and res scroll for own sc consumption. But yet I got banned. So very sad.

I hope support team can reply to my appeal email soon. But I believe they need more time as too many people are appealing and they are busy with gw2 expansion now i guess.

So it is confirmed that people who have been banned aren't getting banned on their brand new accounts? I don't want to spend money if I'm just going to get banned...

Only support team can answer you I think. We are here full of doubts but sad to say no support team appears yet.
