Your friend can guest on your server. Of course that means he cannot participate in WvW, but it would get you together. Alternately, since he’s a new player, perhaps you and his other friends could take up a collection to help him pay for the transfer?

(Deleting the characters would not provide a free world transfer.)

So i dont have to delete my character? Got banned for using the infamous South Park Reference name “Loves To Spoodge” Didnt think it was that serious that I’d get a ban. sorry on my behalf I didnt think that it would be against the conduct.

Oh no, you don’t need to delete the character! You will be able to change the character name after the 72-hour time out associated with an offensive name. (The second bad name results in the GM renaming, so please choose wisely.)

At the time he was banned he was in WvW with guild members….in no way was he boting.

Glad you’re back on the account, and yes, I think we can help you. Please update your existing ticket to ask about an Account Restoration. The agent will review and let you know if you’re eligible for this service, but I imagine you will be. Most info about Account Restorations can be found in a post near the top of this forum.

I also was banned for being accused of botting…. I would like to see any records of me botting or anything like that yes I run the same zones a lot but I am always on my account… I havent receieved any emails or anything to let me know exactly why I was banned

Write a support ticket and ask them there.

Oh I did trust me they heard from me

Michael.4791 assumes people don’t make tickets before they post on the forum.

Many people do not understand the process and believe that posting here, or listing their guild members’ or friends’ names here, will get a review started. That is not the case, so reminding folks to contact Support by filing a ticket through the “Ask a Question” tab on that linked page is in fact a very helpful thing to do. That should actually be the first step in getting an issue resolved, although it’s fine to post here after the ticket is submitted (and especially if the issue has extended 3 days or longer). Whether posting in the main forum or in the Tickets for Review thread, please always provide me with the 12-digit ticket number as a starting point in researching the issue.

Thanks.

My reference number is 130207-000459. Would love to discuss this in private

This thread is about false-positives for botting. You were blocked for using an offensive character and display name, therefore this post is off-topic.

You have chosen to use several offensive names, both in your character names and your display name. You will be able to change your character name when your suspension expires. You will not be given the option to change your display name, which was changed to something close to your chosen name, but removing the offensive connotations.

I will not discuss this with you privately, and ask that you stop sending me PMs about this situation. You have been in breach of the User Agreement multiple times and simply need to serve your time and behave properly in the future.

Ursan is correct, there are many, many players who have earned enough money to purchase or create a precursor outside of the TP.

It is perfectly fine, they have mentioned the idea of making them tradeable but it isn’t possible atm due to issues with codeing and they dont have someone working on it currently.

This is 100% correct. Dropping the bundle so someone else can pick it up and deploy the weapon (or pack it up for later use) is totally acceptable.
