Your father can access that page and file a ticket to restore his account.
How do you know that he have all gold and gear? They can took them everything between his last access and the account termination.
It seems it they only ban him to protect his account. He just need to contact support and restore access to his account by submit a question here https://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/ask/
I know he had all his gear and gold because he was online playing when the account kicked and terminated.
Also the reason for the account Termination was Botting. Nothing was ever said about suspected hackers.
I’m the sure the support will explain you what happened, just submit the question bring back your father account.
This is his father, my account was wrongly terminated 12 days ago for “botting” instead of them simply sucking it up and saying we made a mistake sorry they went for the we though someone was hacking your account thats why it was terminated.
Why they just didn’t say sorry is anyones guess could be if they admit they have a problem with their current system it would open a whole can of worms for them.
Anyway very disapointed with this company and the way they handled this.
Oh my account was reinstated a few hours ago just incase anyone was wondering

As you have seen, you were assisted by the Support Team. And believe me, we do “own up” when we make an error. There are many cases where an account is hacked and not stripped immediately. Sometimes it’s used for botting or for advertising gold sales and the RMT company leaves the inventory intact, at least at first.
But something happened and I believe that the account truly was accessed by a third party. Well, unless you flew to, say, China and accessed your account, and then magically appeared in your home a few hours later and accessed the account again.
- Hacking does not always result in a stripped account.
- Hacking does not always result in a changed password.
- Sometimes hackers and players use the same account for days, with the account owner being totally unaware of what’s going on in his off hours.
We have security measures in place that (1) block botters and (2) block accounts that appears to have been compromised. Sometimes the botting is detected before the hack, but I really think that both happened. The team was happy to help you get this sorted and re-secure the account and again.
