Guild Wars 2

So my friend bought a power leveling service of a website which he paid real money for which than some Chinese guy got his level to 80. It’s been 3months and he is still not been banned, what is going on here? Do arena net actually banned people for this or only when they are actually reported from a player?

How would Anet know if he wasn’t flagged up on the system?

What do you mean flagged up on the system, you mean reported by a player. Don’t they have system that figure out “ow this guy has got to 80 within 2 days lets check him out”

lol, you can get to lvl 80 in less then a day if you wanted. All you have to do is buy crafting mats, some xp boost’s, and sit and craft all the way to 80

I wish I knew how to do this but I can’t work out how to efficiently craft, it always bleeds me dry of all my gold and I end up only level 15-20ish…

There are numerous detection systems in place in addition to frequent player reports. There’s no rule against someone leveling up quickly, but there is a rule against sharing accounts and the use of disallowed services. First, do keep in mind that people say silly things, and that this may not have happened. Secondly, did you report this player so the team could take a look?

So if a user shared his account details you’ll be banned, how would you find out if a player has been on a website and used a power leveling service unless you seen there screen when they bought it?

Also what happens if you want to share a account with a friend so they can take in turns leveling a character is this not allowed?

Sharing an account is against the terms-of-service. So no, it’s not allowed. They’ve stated that several times on the forum, look through Gaile’s post history for some of the reasons why

As for powerleveling services, they’re not going to tell you how they identify accounts that use the services – but it doesn’t take much imagination to come up with technical means that might be used to do so.

No system is going to catch everybody, and I’m sure they’re going to err on the side of letting a few slip through rather than bring down the banhammer on someone who didn’t do anything – but why risk it?

Thanks, Synch — this pretty much sums it up.

Okay thanks for the replies. What about my friend though, it been 3 months since he had it done. I’m guessing he one of the ones that slipped through the system?
