Guild Wars 2

@Maudlin. I’m having the same problem on my PC. It’s shutting off when I try to run GW2, it just started doing this yesterday. Have you tried running the Windows Performance Index and 3DMark11? If not, try doing so, as my PC was shutting down when I ran those tests.

Thanks to support so far, as now I am no longer permanently banned and may post in the forum.

I was playing just before the Lost Coast world event started, and was in Lion’s Arch. The video triggered and the event started, so I went with everyone else over to where the Karaka things were spawning to fight them. Well the latency was horrific naturally, and skills were taking anywhere from between 5-30 seconds to activate.

In the midst of the chaos, and wildly spamming keys in the vain hope it was actually doing something, I was kicked from the server. No big deal I thought, server crash or typical kick because too many people are on. I attempted to log back in, and was informed that my account was banned due to botting/automation/macroing. Huh?

I’m guessing that the server’s automated software decided that my wild key spamming during the event was some kind of third party automation. I posted my problem to support 2.5 hours ago under Banned/Account problems. It now reads as a hacked account and I am incurring a 71 hour suspension for being hacked.

So now I shall miss the Lost Cost event for… participating in the Lost Coast event…
