Sometimes in Southsun I will suddenly port under the map. It’s quite scary but I just WP out IMMEDIATELY. Never been banned but it has only happened probably 2 or 3 times.
I have followed the advice in the above link and have never been hacked. My friends have also considered the advice in the above article and never been hacked.
It’s a shame that you and others have had your accounts compromised but your own security practices are out of ANet’s control. It’s up to you to keep your passwords and computers safe.
Luckily – I’m not far from finishing off the T6 requirements for my Bifrost – about 20-50 left to go for each of the claws/bloods/scales/totems – and then my first legendary!
You get a lot of T6 mats when making mystic clovers. Do the 10 recipe. It’ll take you longer to get all your clovers, but you’ll get lots of mats along the way.
I tried this last night when I don’t need clovers at all….crafted 10x and got 100 Mystic clovers and NO T6 mats…. how unlucky I was…
Very unlucky. Assuming a 1 in 3 chance of getting a clover, the likelihood of getting 10 in a row is 1 in 59049.
I didn’t explain that clearly. Not 10 from 10 – I did it in lots of x10 and got obby shards, globs, Ori Ingots and crystals as by products but no T6 mats at all.

I’m sorry to hear of this situation intently. Very terrible.
Just wondering, if Intently supplied the activation code to ANet could they not identify if that activation code has been used and if so, whether that person is currently playing?
@Belzebu – thank you for your response. And post update I can verify that I am able to swap all my ascended trinkets/armor/weapons between my characters.
This will sound pretty dumb but I wrote a checklist of all the things I need to do before deleting a character (yep – I lost ALOT of gold back in the day). It’s so easy to forget that Gem store mining pick you got….
It’s simple and since then I haven’t accidentally lost anything of value.
OMG I am going to cry and give up…I am a casual player and just finished after a long time my Ascended Zerker armor…. is it all over for me? I definitely can’t grind all that stuff again…
Your initial instinct before deleting should be at least to sell everything you have on that character that you don’t need first so you at least get a little coin THEN put everything else in the bank. Sounds almost too simple but it works for me. Even though I couldn’t sell my gathering tools (even though I have the BLT harvesting tools) I put them in the bank for other characters to use…I check all slots to make sure they are empty before deleting.
Also pays not to delete characters when you are drunk, tired or skydiving.
I put stuff I don’t want to accidentally salvage in an invisible bag at the BOTTOM of my inventory. That way I build a habit not to salvage anything that is in that bag… just a suggestion.
If only there was a way to gift you mine I would….I have all those Account bound back items sitting in my bank that I will never use….just not a back item person….
You guys all realize you used the exact same abbreviation the OP may/or may not have got banned for in your forum posts? =D
The people that play the game and find it offensive are likely to find it offensive if used in the forums as well…. just sayin’
I’m thinking of a particular scene from Southpark where Cartman says a bad word and then Kyle/Stan/Kenny each repeat it when while telling him not to use it…
Yes bank space is a luxury I don’t have atm. What makes it worse is that I’m a hoarder and probably keeping things I should really sell off instead of keeping…
According to Gaile’s response in the forum post below you should send in a support ticket if you have not done so already. It looks as though that person got a refund through that process and for exactly the same reason.
I don’t know for sure but I thought that if you buy them from your own bank window, that will seize to show the option after you have reached the maximum account.?
Yeah I get the same on PC – I see the health bars but no rolling boulders… It causes ALOT of aggro when your party members accuse you of not helping and dying all the time….
Please address it as it’s like a blind man walking into a room full of cacti.
I got my items back from the TP since they were Travelers or Explorers – fine.
But then you force me to add stats to it which then makes them soulbound…nice one. So now I can’t auction them but either sell them at a merchant for less than what I would have got or salvage/forge them.
I’d like them to implement a “We’re sorry we made a mistake and limited your playing time” feature – like a random minipet at the very least…
When I got banned it was during our guild events – costing me all my commendations, gold and chest items…. will they be replaced? Nope…. sorry is just a word.
Does a support worker review the account in question to identify fraudulent activity before the ban takes place?
Or is it just an algorithm that identifies possible negative activity and bans?
If it is not the latter, shouldn’t the staff be trained a bit more to look at logs before banning if innocent people are caught in this net prompting a review anyway?
As a casual player I find I have no time to do the things I want to do….ie dungeons, map completion etc Instead because the achievements are time limited I waste my time playing a game or fetching items.
I also got ‘permanently banned’ as a Gold Seller last week for putting 200 gold in my guild bank, and then withdrawing it again, after my guild leader used it for the Golden title. It took 4 appeals and 48 hours to be reinstated. It would be helpful if support changed the wording of their letters. It should not be a problem, but do be prepared for a possible ban.
It took you 4 appeals? That seems like 3 too many if they have all the logs on hand! It also seems strange since they state they review the account before permanently banning… What changes their mind after you log a ticket?
