now, i know this isnt the place to put this, but seeing as how my first posts on this site were in ventaris sell, the main body were in ventaris sell, that my last post, too, be in ventaris sell.

anyway.
as anyone in my guild can tell you i havent been online much lately. i got myself a seccond job to afford an apartment about a month ago.
each of my jobs takes up about 35 hours a week, give or take, for a total of about 70 hours a week between the two. in the past month ive been online in guildwars a total of, oh, perhaps, 5 hours.
so, imagine my surprize when i get online today, after working 11 days in a row, and descover that my main account is banned. yeah, you heard me right, my main account is banned.
now, i still have on the lines of about 20+mil in items and materials between my remaining accounts; but regardless, i have not even been online recently and contrary to what many ignoramouses may believe, i have never done anything to warrant this crap. the only thing i can think of is that my account was banned along with the however many thousand they banned for "botting," even though i havent been online recently.
as for the other possibility, they may think i was involved in selling items for cash, but when they ban accounts accused of dealing with cash for items, they generally ban the "attatched" accounts as well; accounts storing gold, ecto, materials, etc; yet my remaining 4 accounts are untouched...and are all attatched to the same name&address.
there is, in short, no valid reason for it. and of course anet sent me no letter even telling me what the accusation was, or giving me a chance to prove to them that nothing even remotly illigitimate was ever done by me in this (what has now become blatantly obvious to me) massive waste of time.
anet refuses to take action against scammers, botters, ebayers, and various other underhanded players; they let them go forth unhindered for as long as can be, polluting the game and all that is good about it; and instead decide that their time would be better spent banning people who have done nothing to deserve it.
i have bought every one of my accounts; all 5 of them, legitimatly, from the play NC website, and an additional 2 accounts for ch2. i am (or...was) a fervent fan of everything this game had to offer. despite its shortcomings on the staffs inability (and unwillingness) to handle the issues of scammers and other "damaging" players, i stuck through it. and i will tell you right here, right now, i will never again purchase any product from arena-net, play NC, or their parent company, so long as i live.

so; congradulations arena-net, you just lost a loyal customer, a loyal player, and hopefully i can convince some players to join me.
edit:
i should mention, i have never been banned before, this is the first offense.
