I had a joke in my bio and got accused of selling in game items. Permabanned without so much as an investigation or warning. 1 strike and you are out. If they'd have checked the logs they'd have seen that I've never sent items to other players, only my alts. -Viz |

well, serves you right even if you were joking about it and had it in your bio. I applaud the GM that banned you.

Unless you violated some obscure EULA section, you didn't deserve to be banned. That's not justice.

I agree with the ban. If they allow such a BS excuse, then those who are really doing it will be able to say it is just a joke. This applies to other area of life. Such as joking about a "bomb in a US airport". Or jokingly yelling fire in a movie theatre. |

Originally posted by FreddyNoNose This is nothing like a bomb threat in RL. 1. It's a video game 2. There was no threat implied 3. since I wasn't actually selling items, I didn't break the EULA. No items transferred to any character outside my account. I did nothing wrong except make fun of Turbine's inability to police their game. -viz |

Originally posted by viza It is like the bomb threat in that the people controlling the environment can do things to you for doing so. I am so glad you got banned and that you can't even begin to understand why. |

Turbine appears to be one of the companies that's at least trying to take a stand against RMT, and w/o knowing exactly what you had posted in your Bio its hard to say if you deserved it or not.....
But if anyone could have thought that you were trying to sell gold or items from what you said, then you deserved the ban. You don't actually have to sell something before they can ban you...just shouting it in open chat is reason enough......even if its a joke I'm afraid. |

Hmm while I don't think it's amusing to joke in that way, I don't feel the GM's had enough reason to give a perma-ban. Perhaps a serious warning would have sufficed. Sometimes turbine can get ban-happy.

Don''t reply to me or quote me if you can''t do so without breaking Forum TOS cause I will report you! |
It's always hard to tell if people who come here crying vengeance for being banned are really telling the truth. I've played countless games and MMO's online and I've only been banned once from anything and that was the NCSoft forums for posting a link to a Hacker site. I even posted along with the link that I was against Hackers and what they do to gaming, but the fact I provided a link to such nefarious activities, I was banned. No warning, banned. Granted, it was just forum access, but the story goes, there is no gray area between right and wrong. So if buying/selling gold is as big of a no no in MMOs as it is. I wouldn't even talk about it in game, even jokingly. If what you say is true, I am sorry you felt the full force of the MMO gaming law, but you probably stepped too far over the line for Turbine to even bother warning. |
