My friend was given a 24 hour ban a couple weeks ago, and I heard of someone getting perma banned, but I didn't realise this problem was still here, and on this big a scale O_O

Be honest, please...

Did you all spend a great deal of time afk playing games for the titles?

Looking for a connection that could lead to the error.

Thanks all...

A-Net my Friend Swift just got banned a few mins ago.He was doing the mission Sanctum cay and suddenly he just got logged out.When he tried logging on again it said he got permanently banned.He is the nicest person ever and i know he doesn't cheat or use bots. Me and my friend swift are in GoD (Allyed with oOo alliance).Many other people have been getting banned aswell. A person from another guild in our alliance has gotten banned when he was on holiday ! It's the worse holiday ever for him.

A-Net Plz unban my friend and all the other people.He worked hard for the 4 sets of 15k dyed black !!

Lol Witchblade... did you get that message when you reported Anet for scamming them out of their money? Because that is the standard message they usually send back to discourage you.

Its funny how innocent people get banned without questioning. Then the real scammer just sell their accounts on ebay when it gets too hot. Have seen that happen too many times now... And the ebayers get their characters banned 2 days after they bought it. Maybe time to get a new kicking-system? Like ingame reporting = faster.

Anyway a explanation and maybe a serious apology might be in place from PR. I mean that is what PR is for isnt it? Ofcoure they will need to put their attention into solving this, so I dont mind waiting for an answer. But if this keeps going on like this, players will loose their faith.

WTH is going on?
Same thing with my guild leader and I. I was just switching districts and got kicked offline saying my account was blocked, lol... Tried to log back in and it says permanent ban.

As this issue appears to be serious, (I looked at other sites, and they all say 1) Perma ban 2) No warning 3) No particular activity in common) I'm asking for people to please not say unconstructive things such as "lol they r banning farming lol." Thank you.

I spent one night, well, after about two hours, my estimate, I ran out of tickets. And taht was at the start, abit late to ben me today, about an hour ago.

Also, anyone who AFKed the rings, but didn't get banned, say it here, Alot of people did that, it's like saying 'if you have 15k armour, that might be the reason you got banned'.

oh and for those who think its the afk on nine rings remember guildwiki is on www.guildwars.com fan site listing as guild wars enyclopedia... guildwiki has a guide to achieving the titles(hours-money needed). This has got to be a mistake... remember the error 013(or something) we got somedays ago? and didnt they transfer their database a while back? hmm

Didn't Gaile say in one of her chat sessions that a new method of detecting bots would be introduced soon?

Either way, I think I'll be holding off on loggin in until I'm sure I won't be banned for playing.

Myself and at least 2 others from my guild that I know about so far have been banned, at the same time. Obviously its a bug. What I'm concerned about is the loss of information - permanent bans Im guessing would result in a loss of all character information.

How do Anet address this? My armor and item costs alone couldnt be reimbursed with the 1.6million account limit.

Either could many others. Obviously without any way to prove this Anet wont bother compensating players.



Unless this is a superficial problem that resulted in players not able to log in and getting a ban message, but without the resulting conditions - then we'll be pretty ticked off.


But get your ppl to chk my account first Gaile!

heh. add me to the list. what have i done? afking for 5 days for rings? dude it's a money sink, anet wants us to afk there, they are just happy the more money we waste there. quote me the agreement underlining where it's told to be forbidden.
i trade with many many ppl because i pay cash to id goldies then i give them back? quote me the agreement again...
they believe me to be a bot because i run and run the same quest for hours in melandru? or because i opened 6000+ chests? cmon this is sad!!

i'll stay calm for 1-2-3 days hoping this is a server-side error soon to be solved. if not, i'll push CAPS LOCK soon

To answer your question, I have not been banned, but two of my friends were. This has turned into quite an s-house. I've been trying to load a lot of pages including the ncSoft support page, and I cannot load some because of this horrible server rush and overload. I hope this can be sorted out soon.

Dude, push caps lock, and tehy Know you're getting serious.

Same, only, if not resolved in 1 day, I don't buy C3, and spend as long as I can on GW, just to bug them. [Y'know, wasting space on their servers, whatever...]

Do people ever think about things anymore?

How many times have we seen such a large uproar about invalid bans? Never until now.

How many people have no clue why they've been banned? Alot.

How many people are 'good citizens' that have been banned? Alot.

Obviously something is going on with the system.

It's funny seeing the "omg, plz unban my good samaritan friend A-Net!" posts.
