Arena net's definition of RMT?
Anet can track everything in game. If you’re not doing anything illegal, then you have nothing to worry about. You shouldn’t speculate on what your “friends” did, as GM Chris has shown a clear example of his powers and justifications in the other thread.
I’m sure they have a list of IPs that are commonly used by RMT employees. That’s just one way they look at accounts before banning. Now, if you buy gold from an RMT, they’ll probably just delete the gold, meaning you lost real money used to pay the RMT company (that you’ll probably never get back from your bank). If you’re involved in fraud directly, then that’s a perma ban.
In GW2, Trading Post plays you!
as it is, sending and receiving any amount of gold looks like a RMT. Whether anets picks up on it or not all depends on the amount you send/receive. The larger amounts are just more obvious because nobody would buy 50g.

I’ll answer your questions, because others might have them.
Here my question:
- can i get banned for sending stuff to guild mates, and after a couple days, they return the stuff (replacing what i send them, usually time gated stuff)?
I don’t see how you would get banned for this.
[i]- can i get banned for crafting stuff on my alt account and sending the result to my main account (i got one alt account from discount back in HoT’s announcement)?
If this is specifically the case, no.
- can i get banned if i played on internet cafe which happen to have another GW2 player?
Yes. This is more of a situation of a shared network where users that are on the same network may catch a ban by association if one of the accounts running on that network is bad. Generally this can be cleared up on appeal, but it’s been known to happen.
- can i get banned if i send 10-200g donation to fellow guild member via guild bank for server transfer purpose?
Not likely to happen, it’s very possible that if you do for a large number of users you may get flagged for review, but it’s very unlikely that we would not be able to pick up on your actions immediately.
- in case i got banned after this post, can i get know reason ( and what do i have to do, to get explanation of my account termination), or it’s strictly Arena Net’s employee only?
There are “extreme” cases where someone may get their account banned for posting on the forums, but forums and game access are seperate, they very rarely talk to eachother about bans.
- what are stuff i do, that Arena Net can categorize as RMT (obviously i know selling and buying gold is illegal, i even block and report people for that)?
Yah, I’m not going to answer that question. Sorry, but it’s very safe to say if you are RMT, you kow you are RMT.
Here’s a good read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_economy
As for this:
“I am feeling lazy today, a ticket just in, another RMT appeal case, the system algorithm quite accurate, no need for further investigation, here down the ban hammer, say good bye to all your hard works, we don’t care what you’ve DONE or NOT DONE, after all, no loss on our side.”, is what i speculate is in concerned party’s mind.
What?

I think they are saying that some concerned parties worry that someone in ANet support, “feeling lazy”, might just reject an RMT appeal case (that is, someone alleging they were wrongly banned for RMT) just writing it off saying the system’s algorithm (for detecting RMT I guess they mean) is quite accurate. That’s what I gather from it anyway.
Is there some kind of bug in the search feature for the blocked players list? Why does ‘noob arah’ come up when searching for ‘go’?
Some people are mistakenly ‘banned’ for RMT interactions. But, with repeated updates to your ticket, and evidence/explanation shown how the account was triggered and why, the account is returned. I know, it happened to me.
Just don’t deal with those that may be nefarious, and you should have no issues.
Good luck.
I suspect “Noob Arah” may have had an account name containing “go”
PRE, you might want to remove your post as such posts are against forum rules. You can, however, after 7 (seven) days, post your guildies’ ticket numbers in the pertinent Sticky above for Review.
Good luck.
