Ban Hammer Nails Innocent Victim

Don't you mean 23...

He also operates with Kamatoto. This is where he sends stuff that he resells as stacks, like Dragon Meat.

I dont know the OP nor do i have anything against him, but there has to be more to the story that what he has shared with us so far. While i to share the same sentiment that getting your toon banned (especially if you are someone who has played as long as he has) has to be the worst feeling any game can ever give, i can also say you had to have done something to deserve it.

While we all know SE can ban any of us at any given time if they so desire, we all know they will only do if they legitimately think there is something fishy going on with said account. Just a quick glance at your AH history shows you like to take advantage of NPC pricing, and no, i dont think that should be something that warrants being banned, but if you do this you are basically price gorging the NPCs, and i dont think SE is a fan of that if you do in large amounts. Again, if you feel like you have done nothing wrong, i would call SE and ask for thorough explaination as to why your account is closed.

I really wish you gl OP in getting your account back (if thats even possible)...b/c im one of the ppl that think that every time someone gets banned/retires, thats one tiny step towards the game being shutdown for good. You and you alone know if you truly deserve the ban stick or not, take care.

edit* if anything, try to look at this as a blessing in disguise, as this may be the only way some of us can quit this game for good, heh.

Sucks to hear Cyco, was fun running those Skirmishes and showing you what's up with Geo in em. ;D Hope it gets resolved.

23 + him!

Unless you mean "now 23 because he's banned" in which case 23 + 1 more hopeful!

You fought adman 15 times? Why? you took the end result (red pondweed) and tried to sell it correct? Where did you get the 15 pops? If you got 15 pops between you and your friend with login points alone they will most liklly see this as a possiable RMT act.

Most people dont go though 15 pops in 1 day from 1 account, this could make you look as if you used login points for the main objective of farming gil for a reason unknowing to them thus your a RMT.

Now as stated above i do not know if you bought the pops with login points however, it could be something as totally lame as did you buy the pop? Could the person you bought pop from been a RMT? Did you shout for pop at discounted price? What this would look like is you shouted all day and the only thing you got out of the deal was a high end sellable item.

First off, there never is an "Innocent Victim", especially in a game where bots and RMT (*cough*ComeatME, Bro...*cough*) have pretty much ran the show except for the time that the game became too easy in their sorry opinions.


Yeah, YOU and how many of your bots, ***?


Then pull the plug on the whole mess. And it sounds to me as if that might be a real option real soon.


That's *** to begin with. If that were the case, they'd ban basically every prominent player in the game, between what you are saying and what Zicdeh said.

And Kingnobody: WHAT RIGHTS? You seem to be under this mistaken impression that they exist.

Welcome back buddy,

Starcade i think i'm almost converted

just a few more posts...

You need to level your reading comprehension. It is too low and it shows.

Here, let me help you

post


and post


Both of these specifically states that nobody has any rights. So, where do these posts that states that nobody has any rights shows that rights exist? Oh right, they don't!

btw, don't you have a vendetta blog to post, Mr. Dark Renegade?

Kingnobody: Then you contradict yourself.

For what it's worth: The only "rights" you have at all (on the Internet or anywhere else) are those you defend through your own violence.

This is probably the funniest thing that I've read all week. Good job, ***.

If it's against the ToS to sell items to an NPC for large amounts of gil in a short time, myself and several people I run with would have been banned by now.

I don't buy crafting items and the like from AH and sell to an NPC, because frankly, that's a dickshit move. That's pretty much a giant f-you to crafters. I will sell aby gold box items to an NPC. Every time I BLU burn in aby I empty my inventory to only carry the gear needed to build lights and burn, I even leave my LS pearl in my mh. I've gotten about 500k off of one run (several dark rings) and all were NPC'd. I've done this several times, in the same 24hr period, with the same toon getting about 2mil and never even had a GM contact me about it.

So unless he sold in excess of 2mil to an NPC then I don't see how he got banned for this.

As for the guilty until proven innocent, I've heard innocent people say this when they felt the odds were stacked against them. Fortunately they had adequate representation.

After reading these posts I'm inclined to agree with several people that there's more to the story. I've GM'd someone that botted a claim from me that wasn't banned, and there's still fishbots out and about that I've seen in the same spot, days on end, various times, and still not banned.

I've settled on a complex narrative where OP unwittingly bangs a GM's wife, spreading delicious herpes. GM goes batshit insane after contracting the virus, murdering his wife by slowing hacking off all her limbs, dissolving said limbs in a bathtub full of lye and sending the torso to the bottom of the nearest body of water; but not before a thorough inquisition reveals the source of said herpes.

Still enraged beyond the level of Chicken Nuggets, GM prepares for the only fitting end to the life of someone in the customer service field: Murder-Suicide. Using his considerable means of minimum wage, OP is tracked by vengeful GM who is ready for final battle. All eventualities are accounted for, save one: The effective range of the RASCAL brand mobility scooter is only 3.5KM on a single charge, and OP lives somewhere between 3.501KM and 12,740KM. Curses, foiled again! But the rage is too great, Vengeful GM must have closure before he rides the wings of the Valkyries to Valhalla. In his act of greatest shame, Vengeful GM breaks the GM's honorbinding oath by issuing an unjustified (in the context of the game) Ban. Ready to die a warriors death, Vengeful GM ingests a full box of Mallomars and slips into a diabetic coma, from which he never awakes.

So on the whole, I'd say OP got off easy.

Note to self- Never *** around with a Gm's wife... Got it

FTFY

Wait, if I'm contradicting myself, then you are also contradicting yourself.

Because you first said that nobody has any rights, then you just said (above) that the only "rights" anyone has at all...etc.

So which is it. Are we both contradicting ourselves or not?

btw, how's your vendetta against SE going? Doesn't look like it is going well if you are still playing this game.

just between you and me, if you are going to hate something, you generally don't have anything to do with that thing you hate.

So why don't you go write a blog about how plastic knives aren't good for emocutting yourself, based on your experience of using them.

This is no different than what the police have been doing to black folks for years. My advice is to get a good lawyer and not a public defender.

We're not the family of the poster, or the close friends, or the fake friends. We have 0 obligation to show fake and forced empathy and people won't show empathy when (in this case):

1) the situation is fishy as ***
2) the fact that the person would post this kind of topic and in such a way is HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE as ***

There is a difference between blunt people and ***.

Just more testimony to the fact that the massive amounts of time and energy we put into this is all just 1's and 0's that can be wiped away for no reason at any time.

If you are worried about it, secure your investment of time by putting it to better use making something tangible.

While it's fair to say this on a tangible level relative to other worldly activities and endeavors, it should not undermine or dismiss the overall experience and joys it has brought about within its timeline of being played.
One could easily say I've wasted 10 years playing FFXI, which is true to some degree, but the people I've met, the places I've explored, the battles I've had, and the feelings I've endured throughout it, I wouldn't trade for anything.

To the OP: Try and take this as an end to your characters tale and time, and let it be an opportunity to start a new one with a different perspective and objective if you're so inclined.

f it. go to 14?
they just looking to send ppl running xD

Hey Starcade you forgot to reply to this... the veiwers are enjoying the drama :x

Really? You're comparing profiling/suspicion of a race to SE banning someone in a game? My advice: if you decide to start posting on these forums, make a reasonable contribution to the thread other than some incorrect statement stemming from your "victimization."

we have gone full circle now boys and girls.

Good job

And in only less than 4 full pages.

Well said.
