Here's the original - now locked - thead on the AOC boards: http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?p=511052

 

Me. The Guild Leader of The ßox, on Deathwisper, just got banned very quickly. Basically, a GM just sent a generic PM about exploiting, and kicked me off without answering my inquiry as to why exactly.

My guild has spent the last week hardcore grinding coin in Keshatta and pooling all coin and resources to me to get our guild city completed with all walls as of just yesterday.

I had over 60 gold in my inventory today, pooled from our guild of nearly 100 people and friends of the guild, all grinding in raids in Keshatta with us. Yet the GM still banned without a specific explanation.

The bottom line here, is that Funcom just banned me, the leader of the guild, because a lot of our enemies on the server petitioned in saying I was exploiting, duping, etcetera, and they probably looked at how far we were with the city and how much gold I still had and believed it.

GG funcom. You said that it's going to be a guild effort to do this. You said that everyone would have to pool their resources to the guild leader and architect (both me) to make the cities / sieging happen. We did that, and you banned the guild leader.

Not surprising. Other people on the server have had their gold purged and bans have been handed out very quickly to anyone with any real pooled progress.

Here's a tip funcom, learn to differentiate between Dupers/Exploiters, and people pooling their endless hours of hard work into one person.

I won't be buying this game again, and you just pissed off about 100+ very vocal people that pooled a lot of resources, time and coin to me. You've also spread a lot of negative publicity about your game for how quickly you ban and  ruin a lot of peoples pooled efforts.

-----------------------------------------
The MMO genre needs innovators. People not afraid to deviate from the "WoW is an ATM machine" mentality and think outside the box to make something truly different and fun. I'm sick of paying $50 for virtual treadmills.

I hope this is resolved soon and you get unbanned.  If not I hope you can find another game to have fun in, and am really sorry for this.  I know how much fun working as a group can be to achieve things, and being unjustly punished for it is horrible.

 

Good luck in whatever comes your way.

Rejoice. For very bad things are about to happen.

Hmm, at first glance it seems ike you were treated unfairly, but not sure we're hearing the whole story.

But if it was me, I'd have banned the whole lot of you for over-achieving,....  quit playing these games like a business/bloodsport.

Who the hell are you, and why should I care?
Congrats! You are a victim of Trollstar!

Funcom has the logs of those that exploited, I am sure you and the rest of your guild were exploiting and now your paying the price.

I hate cheaters with a passion and am glad you and your kind are being dealt with.

Suxxors mate, sorry to hear that.

I myself will not be trying AoC out, too much bad press about it. I dont mind MMO's having bad press as most do when theya re relased, but AoC is not donig the right thing I think, Lets hope fro there sake they get into gear and sort out there major issues, or they going to be another lemon MMO out there as more and more MMO's go live.

Cheers

This can easily be taken care of. Email:    account-status@ageofconan.com

This was accidental I'm sure. Now that banks are working GL's wont have to haul around that kind of coin. Our gwahlur PVE guild just built it's teir one city tonight and i cant imagine how bad it would have been if the GL had been sacked by FC. Good luck to you, and i hope you know that they just want to protect the honest peo0ple from scammers and hackers.

bad press, if you mean WoW morons that though AoC would be as easy as that creampuff game then your right.

 

Most professional reviews coming out now are positive about the game.

Here are a few

www.1up.com/do/previewPage

www.atomicgamer.com/article.php

www.gametrailers.com/game/1905.html

 

 

 Those are just a few sites, I would give AoC another few weeks and you will have even more major reviewers giving their impressions.

Face the fact that the people that don't like this game are a vast minority and always will be. I am playing
AoC and I love the game.
