Yeah actually the new title is all that needs to be known about the contents of the thread. First post is utter bullshit.

But like I posted eariler at least he is trolling on a new subject and not rehashing the old worn out dead horses that have clogged up these here forums for days now.

Not sure if this has made it on here yet. Basically this guy asked his guild mates in SWTOR if anyone wanted to swap some credits for WoW gold. 

He was permanently banned

MMO are a social game it’s all about interaction.

 

My friend regularly gave me stuff and kinah in Aion as I didn’t like to grind way back and in return I used to help him in WAR/AOC

We are not gold farmers , we made the money by playing the game.

 

You can quote the rules and  bash all the moral policing u want but, don’t we all share music,games ,movies amongst friends n relatives al the time.

His mistake was he asked in guild chat to people whom he is not all that friendly.

 

I fell the mods should have just warned him – perma ban or suspension was too much.

I don’t feel it was anything wrong. I offered my friend to try SWTOR and if he likes I would give him gold so that he can speed up in return he said u can always return to Aion and he would help me out with Kinah.

 

See OP this is how you should have worded your opening post. I can agree with him 100% without feeling like I'm siding with a troll.

    While i can understand why you might feel that way, the simple fact remains that in almost every MMO out there the Terms Of Service clearly forbid this kind of action (and yes SWTOR and WoW both forbid it).  So while you "feel" one way, it really doesn't matter since you are wrong.  If you violate the rules, you do it at your own risk and have to be mature enough to accept the penalties for your actions.  Plain and simple.

I don't care what the thread is about, that title is brilliant! 

I didnt even think titles could go this long you sir have won the interwebs.

SEE there OP you attract more flies with sugar than honey!

Well that and actually stating the truth and not lying.

Holy thread backfire.  Very amusing.

Nice to see that EA/BW is so forgiving, it should have been a perma-ban, he got off lightly.

Ahh the old MMO car analogy.... Ahh the old "i see what you did there so that makes me smarter than you" move

And you only prove my point... once again I am arguing the morality of permanently banning a player or even banning a player at all for this and you are still smacking me over the head with the TOS wiffle ball bat.

 

I have made this joke in WoW actually... and didn't get banned for it... and in General chat to boot. Back when people where leaving to play aion I used to say... "I got a toon in aion... give your stuff and you can have all of it". No one ever took me up on the offer... but i certainly didnt get banned for it... cause that would have been stupid.

Even if someone did report it... what exactly was the person thinking who read it... "Holy shit this could break the game PERMA BAN" Cmon really?

I await your next post where you cite particular sections of the TOS as well as other games TOS's if someone hasn't already done it for you before I even finished typing this

i shall counter with two points

1) i did not use the mmo car analogy...i used a driver analogy

2) he wasnt perma banned

3) i have no argument. I am not presenting a troll post to argue. Thats the responsibility of the original poster.

 

Ok that was 3 points but who is counting.

1) Potato Potaato

2) It was a perma banned but he managed to get it repealed to a 10 day suspension. If he hadn't it would have been a perma ban

3) My argument is that it is "morally wrong" as in "not a good reason" to perma ban a player for something like this... that is my opinion. If you disagree with it well... let's just say never trust anyone who values "technicailities" more than "what's right"

Regarding your third point, you fail to understand what a "Lawful Good" personality type is and how they react in these situations. If something is illegal and/or wrong (which this situation certainly qualifies) they are compelled to report it to the authorities, regardless of the "technicalities" as you put it.

They would turn in their own family, and certainly some random internet guild member. You may not agree with their choice but they are not wrong in their actions.

Loving the topic title :D

Surprised he didn't get Perma banned in WoW as it is in their ToS that using their in game products for any bartering will result in a permanent ban. Haven't read the SWTOR close enough yet, but I am shocked that SWTOR isn't the same.

Swapping game 'gold' is against the terms of service, whether you're a regular player or a gold farmer. Player is lucky they only got a 10 day ban.

Also, the title was very informative.

A guild mate of mine got banned. He didnt want everyone knowing but he told one of the other guildies he was buying credits and next thing ya know boom! Temp ban. He played it off as "He was hacked" but some of us knew the truth and point and laugh anytime we see his name pop up for being a cheap bastard.

Honestly im glad companies punish players for this type of currency trading whether its for real money or fake money of another form. People like the guild member mentioned and to an extent the O.P are the reason so many gold farmers exist. As long as there is a market for people too lazy to farm currency themselves to trade/buy it from someone else MMO Currency Farmers will never go anywhere.

Actualy have multi game guilds too and say trade 1000 WoW gold for 1000 credits (or whatever the equvilant value might be since I don't play SWTOR) if I wanted to do that usually done over vent or on a forum only viewable by members.
