I play Guild Wars 2 for a long time, and my classification of players belong to this category: weekend player so I play it periodically usualy at the weekend. I used to be “hard-core” and I was day and night in front of my PC but now in my life some things have changed and I had to adjust to the situation.
I enjoyed from the first moment of Guild Wars 2, you can be what ever you want in the game, you can choose a style of playing…simply to say…just awesome. My PC I use and for my work, and for it I use Debian GNU/Linux, it is logical that I on my PC had dual-boot with Windows and Linux. If I wanted to play Guild Wars 2, I just restarted PC and I switch from Linux to Windows and everything works perfectly.
After some time I had to replace hard-disc, and I installed only Linux. I thought that I’m going to install later a “dual-boot” with Linux/Windows. On Guild Wars 2 pages is only available game client for Windows and Mac. I found a simple way to play Guild Wars 2 over Linux with program https://www.playonlinux.com which is actually enhanced version of Wine , and finally I was able to play Guild Wars 2 on my Debian 8.2 GNU/Linux.
I play Guild Wars 2 on Linux, true FPS results you were weaker but for first time I can to play this great Game. On start lower FPS is not bother, but after few months I decided to install a dual-boot. After installation I finaly start to play Guild Wars 2 on Windows, but my pleasure not last long. After only a few days I received a disturbing e-mail about closing my account by Guild Wars 2 Support team.
Considering that I have not done anything dishonorable, or which would violate the rules of gameplay feel great injustice. I am writing this because from e-mail of GM-s I do not see what is my sin and remains the only logical that I played over Linux.
I want to warn all the gamers if You trying to start play Guild Wars 2 on Linux please do not because may find themselves in the same situation as me.
From conversation I don’t know real actual reason for perm ban.
