To whoever this may concern,
I was banned for “botting” earlier this morning and have already sent in a ticket to try and get answers for why this has happened to me and to hopefully get this reversed.
I have in no way used any type of botting programs or any third party macros throughout my entire time playing on guild wars 2. The only reason I see how this could have come across is that I did farm in the same areas as bots… can you blame me though?
They hang around for days and days, wiping out any and all mobs, so why not take advantage of that and join them in their onslaught and benefit from their not-so-hard work. I admit I did this for probably an unhealthy amount of hours, but nothing compared to a real bot so I don’t understand how I could have been mistaken as one? When I farm however, I do have tendencies to miss the chat because after mindlessly farming for hours, anyone could have a huge reduction of their attention span. (Meaning all I do is attack red names). This being said, I really don’t remember anyone asking me if I was actually there and not a bot, so I can honestly say this hit me very suddenly and without warning.
I don’t know how or why exactly I was banned and I have no way to really proving my innocence, but I want to still plea my hardest because this kind of injustice really hurts the pride I laid in Guild Wars. I spent my hard earned money to purchase this game in order to play with my friends and family, but now I can’t log in to join them in any adventures.
I’ve yet to receive a response to the ticket I sent in earlier, so I hope this may grab some attention from mods/admins patrolling the forums. Please carefully review my situation and find that I really am innocent, and would do anything asked of me to reverse this horrible fate. I’ve worked too hard on the game and I’ve spent a lot of my precious time to play this wonderful game, and I really don’t think I would have stopped anytime soon.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I really do hope this can be fixed as soon as possible so that I may continue my questing/farming in time for the Halloween event!
P.S. I have all the information required in the form and will give it willingly to any admins/mods who are willing to help me in my endeavor. I’m going to fight this to the best of my ability because this means too much to me to let go.
