LadyFreeze.8602:

So since we are not allowed to “discuss” ANET’s screw up – what are we supposed to do create our own website for the venting? I would think having us here where they could see what is said would be better then having it aired publicly.

I’m sure they want you to keep posting here, I have had 4 or 5 of my posts moderated from this thread, I don’t feel I was particular insulting in fact I would say I wasn’t insulting at all and the comments I made were related and on topic to what is going on here but ok I don’t care as long as I get my account back.

For venting I guess a new thread could be created? I don’t know if it is allowed but if it was then surely posts won’t be moderated there when I say that I find this whole mess to be the work of someone incompetent.

EDIT: Either way I will be leaving the forums until tomorrow unless I get an e-mail where I have been given my rightful account back. Good luck to everyone waiting!

grandmooch.8653:

I read that they cannot elaborate too much on this because they don’t want to reveal their hand to the real botters. avoiding bot heavy zones is one of the few that was mentioned. Not ideal at all but that’s what we got and have to deal with it.

Indeed thats what I read as well, they can’t talk about this issue because it would be helping the real botters. What we have been told is to keep away from areas which bots frequent (basically all high lvl zones….and some low lvl ones…) that to me is not acceptable as it would mean we are being deprived of content so we can avoid getting banned.

P.S. I am not QQ or lashing out in this post. I am just giving my opinion and although I feel that the reason for why they can’t reveal the information to be a good one, I don’t agree with the options we are presented with.

Regarding the false bans there are things that worry me, apart from obviously worrying if I will ever see my account restored to me there is also the issue that people are ~still~ getting banned. They need to stop banning ASAP and focus on fixing whatever is cause of these false bans!

i got hit when i woke up and started playing roughly 3 hours ago, man it does kind of suck though, maybe they should have done a better job with their automated bot banner ^^

There are two ways to better deal with getting rid of the bots.

1. Do not allow players to trade/send gold to each other.
This probably will piss off some players.

2. Make gold easier to obtain.
Probably hurt NCSoft’s $$$ income, so I’m sure that’s not an option.

It’s not that simple though, for #1. The transaction could be done via different methods, like putting a crap item on TP for a ridiculous amount and then the gold seller would buy that item for the agreed gold amount.

#2: Even if a-net made gold easier to obtain there is a big problem in doing so, inflation. If everyone has a lot of gold then the price for rare thing on TP would sky rocket even further since gold would lose value.

I also got banned on Saturday…I have since gotten a generic bot response and now I can only keep on waiting….Good luck to everyone here.

My account is finally restored just a few minutes ago, i received the mail and i could log in. Thank you very much and good luck to all the others.

Congrats to you friend, hope you have fun in-game.

Wow, so I got hit by the banhammer as well…
For botting apparently…
I just hope I’ll get my account back before the 15th…

If I don’t have my account back before the 15th, I’ll scream.

If I don’t get my account by the 15th I’m out. No joke, if I am not back in the game like I should be, since I have done nothing wrong, then its time to look for something else. I would be too pissed that I lost out on the Lost Shore update to continue.

Right there with you. I can honestly say I haven’t had any issues with this game or ANet since purchasing it in September, but I’m starting to feel a bit jaded. Let’s be honest, they are clearly not working as hard on this issue as they should be, or this thread wouldn’t be full of angry and disappointed customers having the same problems over the course of several days.

Not working hard enough on the issue? I’m pretty sure they don’t even view it as such unfortunately. More people got banned today and It will continue to happen until they own up to their mistakes and decide to actually fix this mess.

Yikes. Yeah, I was starting to get really disheartened as to the lack of any sort of official response on the matter, but I wasn’t aware that they aren’t considering it a real issue. Good to know that ANet has become another company that forgets their customers exist once money changes hands.

We assuredly are considering this a important issue, and I’ve been posting on this thread for two days, so there definitely have been official responses.

Our issue here is the fact that it was said there was so few false positives and that a lot of us were botters. For someone that has never done and will never do such things and then seeing so many decent people here begging for their accounts back seems to make me think otherwise.

This is a rumour that you need to stop circulating. Yes, you and everyone else who has said it!

No one has said “A lot of you are botters.” We have said “Some of the people posting here are botters.” And that is 100% true!

Please don’t twist a gentle “Keep in mind that not all of these appeals are legitimate” into a “All of you are bad people” because no one is saying that!

I apologise if what I said was twisting words, I am as you can probably see frustrated that I have had to wait almost 3 days for a “bot” response and I am still not able to play, not because I did something wrong but because someone somewhere screwed up and banned me. So you can see that when you say thing like “some people who are posting here are botters” could offend me, if a-net has banned me for “botting” it is because they consider me to be one or I would’nt have been banned in the first place.

I completely understand and sympathize with your frustration.

Thank you, it is certainly nice to actually hear (read) from an actual person and although it might not have seemed like it I really appreciate you coming on here to answer and help us with these issues. I hope you weren’t offended by anything I may have said as I was venting in general and not directly at you.

I was banned for “botting” on the 10th of november (now 13th in the UK).
All I was doing was gathering Ori with 2 other guild mates and got banned.

Error Code: 45:6:3:2114

P.S. I apologise to A-Net if I seems to be offending anyone since 1 of my comments was just deleted but imo you are the ones offending me by accusing me of something I hate, have never done and will NEVER do.

Well I don’t know for certain that they aren’t considering it an issue, they could very well be dealing with it in the dark….however the fact that people continue to get banned makes me think they aren’t dealing with it because if I was in their shoes and I knew of such a thing happening I would 1st stop the banning and THEN work on getting it fixed. If they are trying to fix it but have decided to start with the latter then it only further makes me believe that this is all due to their incompetence.

It goes like this,

players: “wow that looks fun, i cant wait”

Anet: “too bad, you are all banned.”

Lmao, hahaha I laughed a little too much on that one, probably because it almost seems like its true.

A continuation could be

Player: when will my ban be lifted!!?!

Anet: the 19th of november.

Player: How do I know I am secure from future false bans?

Anet: I guarantee you wont be banned again unfairly….until the next one time only super event muahahahaha

I seem to have gotten my account restored. But I’m afraid to leave Lions Arch I hope the rest of you get your accounts back soon!

Congrats!!!
Hearing that some people are getting their accounts back is reassuring. Hopefully it won’t be too long before all of us are back in-game ^^

Lord Freeze.3574:

it has been over 3 days. Not even a bot mail.

Man that is horrible!

Have you tried posting here? https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Tickets-for-Review-3-days-and-older-merged/page/50#post704530

Maybe it will catch someone’s attention.

Volgumby.8596:

Good news. I have recieved a reply after 2.5 days. I am still banned but it looks like someone is working on it.

From what I’ve read here and from my experience it seems 2-3 days is when they reply with their bot response (ironic since we got banned for…“botting”)

Good luck to you

Quin.8327:

Seems Jose is all alone in the office tending to all our calls. Be nice to him or her (girls name in my country). He or she didn’t cause it and is just paid, probably low wage, to talk to us.

Anyway, in 6 hours the workday starts
off to bed
hope to be posting good news in the morning

ooh and dark revan, ill be looking you up on the server if i get back in

Sure thing, I look forward to seeing you in-game when (yep when, gotta stay positive) we get our accounts back. If your ticket is being changed to hacked account then you will probably get in before me since you will be treated as a victim now instead of a botting criminal like the rest of us.

Good night to you, hope you get the good news you deserve in the morning ^^

P.S. Jose is a man/boy name in my country xD

Should I get my hopes up?

That kind of mail I got for my suspension like 5 days ago… Still no further developments… But ya never know.

Have you posted here? https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Tickets-for-Review-3-days-and-older-merged/page/50#post702297

Most of the people that have posted their account recovery posted on there after the initial 3 days had passed. Hope that helps….5 days is too bloody long. I better start fixing this mess

Lord Freeze.3574:

Sure thing. Good luck to all of us “Bots”

It is amazing how far AI Has come.

I will actually be in the next terminator movie, I’m playing the role of a legitimate player that had his account terminated by A-Net for banning….oh wait that actually happened xD sorry it’s just that this is so ridiculous I forget it actually happened. :P

So i’m guessing i’m no the only one who got banned randomly in the Kessex Hills? Any body else for supposed quote “Botting, extended unattended play, using macros, or similar behavior. Attempting to automate gameplay through any means or attempting to circumvent idle-time restrictions….” yada yada yada?

I think that everyone in Kessex Hills on SBI got banned lol, I know all the members in my guild that were there ARE BANNED, we were in mumble.

Well I was on the Tarnished Coast…so yea I didn’t know it was going to be like multi server wide

It’s interesting that you say server wide….when I was banned I remember a lot of Sanctum of Rall players come here and complain at around the same time. If they are doing this server by server than we can expect a lot more innocents here soon unless they fix this…

I have updated my ticket with a question….asking jose (the person who mailed me) on what grounds and evidence they had to ban me.

If I get an answer I will share here (if I’m allowed) so we can all know what kind of BS they are banning us for.

Congrats looks like you’re on your way! Thanks for showin some love Anet
Hopin for the return of my account as well , then we can /dance in game

I’m sure it’s just a matter of time until they contact you as well. ^^

P.S. I’m holding you to that /dance when we both get back to SoR

Thanks Lord Freeze. I’ll write this down somewhere in case I have to call within the next few days. Goodness knows that I won’t be calling the French support team. If you’ve never had to deal with French bureaucracy and “customer service”, you don’t even want to know what you’re missing.

Not calling right now because it’s past midnight, but if it were a more decent hour, I would.

I will be writing this down as well just in case since I live in the UK. Thanks

Best of luck, mate, hope it all goes well and you get your account back. Can’t say that you should feel hopeful, but it’s a start, I suppose. Keep us updated!

Shadaka.1978:

Gaile, thank you for responding to my other post. I feel like my question was not addressed.
The issue i was trying to make known or to have help understanding is, if i am questing in these so called Bot hotspots areas, ie.. Frostgorge, Ore, Human areas for heart quests/ or gathering mats for crafting,
plus:
if i have a couple guild mates with me for help on the heart quests, how do i have any guarantee i will not be perma banned!

As of right now i know i am not the only person who feels unsafe to play the game as is intended.

Gaile could you please address this issue.. thank you.

Having guildies with you won’t stop them from banning…I was banned and I had 2 others with me. Thankfully they didn’t get banned but as you can see it won’t guarantee anything.

For those who need a laugh after being wrongfully banned for whatever reason, here is a link that may help you laugh (although it is painful) at the situation.
http://www.manylaughs.com/2012/11/09/guild-wars-2-6-reasons-im-an-obvious-bot/

Actually somewhat comforting. Thanks for the link.

Wish I had someone to wait this out with…my boyfriend is still happily running around in-game. Guess he didn’t get caught by the banhammer because he’s more than 50 levels below me, wears generic-coloured armour, plays warrior class, didn’t do any of the Halloween events, and never uses the trading post. Sarcasm but not joking, unfortunately.

That’s irony if I ever saw it, is he called “tyujdkf” xD
I’m joking of course but it might be better for him to avoid Orr as he levels just in case….

Hahaha, actually, that’s the only part of his botter appearance that’s missing. He has one of those clearly fantasy usernames that he’s been using since he started WoW years back.

He’s been reading up on all of us angry people who have been permabanned for nothing, and has his mind pretty much made up that he’s avoiding Cursed Shore once he hits level 80. That’s going to be tough, seeing that a lot of the story quests are in there. What irony indeed.

Unfortunately it seems other areas aren’t safe either now….best stay in LA to be completely safe since bots don’t enter there :P

My goodness, imagine playing all of GW2 in Lion’s Arch. Dynamic Quest idea: run from Mystic Forge to the Asura Gates and back again. Over and over again! Not particularly dynamic, now is that.

This heavy sarcasm isn’t directed at you, it’s just that I’m terribly irritated with the fact that the only real action that I can take is to chainsmoke my last few cigarettes, sit like a useless lump and wait for a support email that may never arrive. Of course, perhaps it’s safer this way, because if there were a phone number to call, I would probably be yelling myself blue in the face at this moment to some poor customer support guy.

Yeah I was pretty angry not too long ago…then you guys came along and I had a bit of a laugh so thank you for that.
I would also like to speak to someone so if you actually find that number please share with all of us here ^^

This makes me appreciate WoW customer support – at least I can call and talk to some one after waiting on hold for 2 hours!

I really really really wanna call Anet support service or whatever customer service!!
But, they don’t have one.

NCSoft has a customer service line. I called them yesterday they were actually pretty helpful, no waiting time either.

Lulwhat? please can you share this number? I have a few things I wish to share with them.

First I want to welcome all new Bots to the “NCSoft Botters Guild”.
Feel free to join the conversations.

Dark, if We ever get back In I think I am heading to your server, sounds like us bots can have more fun there.

One thing for sure at least the post are getting more lively and not so angry.

Haha for sure, I think it is getting more lively because this situation is so ridiculous we are going crazy xDD

Regarding your move to SoR, you are more than welcome to join VR if/when you do. I’m an officer there and should have no problem adding you and your wife to the guild, us “bots” have to unite!

Cool,

the first thing I am doing is creating an character Named “ncbtdy-1”

Hahaha, if you do I’m making an alt called “I are Bot” or simply “wefgsndmcfv” to keep it traditional.

Buy it a commander book and I will follow you around yelling follow the leader leader , follow the leader
dont frown
I sing that half the time I run after my husband cause he knows where the fun is .. sorry, fight I mean

Oh god….great idea!!!
You guys are giving me some great ideas! xD
Knowing my luck and this banning policy though I would be banned straight away after buying that book lol.

To all the new or recent people that have just gotten the ban for “botting” issue a support ticket asap. Posting here will actually result in nothing but a few deleted/moderated comments and being able to vent. Good luck to you all

Regarding your move to SoR, you are more than welcome to join VR if/when you do. I’m an officer there and should have no problem adding you and your wife to the guild, us “bots” have to unite!

Cool,

the first thing I am doing is creating an character Named “ncbtdy-1”

Hahaha, if you do I’m making an alt called “I are Bot” or simply “wefgsndmcfv” to keep it traditional.

For those who need a laugh after being wrongfully banned for whatever reason, here is a link that may help you laugh (although it is painful) at the situation.
http://www.manylaughs.com/2012/11/09/guild-wars-2-6-reasons-im-an-obvious-bot/

Actually somewhat comforting. Thanks for the link.

Wish I had someone to wait this out with…my boyfriend is still happily running around in-game. Guess he didn’t get caught by the banhammer because he’s more than 50 levels below me, wears generic-coloured armour, plays warrior class, didn’t do any of the Halloween events, and never uses the trading post. Sarcasm but not joking, unfortunately.

That’s irony if I ever saw it, is he called “tyujdkf” xD
I’m joking of course but it might be better for him to avoid Orr as he levels just in case….

Hahaha, actually, that’s the only part of his botter appearance that’s missing. He has one of those clearly fantasy usernames that he’s been using since he started WoW years back.

He’s been reading up on all of us angry people who have been permabanned for nothing, and has his mind pretty much made up that he’s avoiding Cursed Shore once he hits level 80. That’s going to be tough, seeing that a lot of the story quests are in there. What irony indeed.

Unfortunately it seems other areas aren’t safe either now….best stay in LA to be completely safe since bots don’t enter there :P

This has gone past epic clueless management to the dark side of stupid ridiculousness. Maybe ANET’s version of “going postal?”

Hey! the dark side of ridiculousness will be insulted if you compare it to this mess xD

Lord Freeze.3574:

First I want to welcome all new Bots to the “NCSoft Botters Guild”.
Feel free to join the conversations.

Dark, if We ever get back In I think I am heading to your server, sounds like us bots can have more fun there.

Wierd stuff
I checked to see if i can get in like one guy suggested cause he never got reply back but got his account back up
I got in
I open map and go to the waypoint
I open inventory and notice all my gold is still there
I get a black screen
Try to get back in
I get the ban message again

added
subject in support changed from blocked to hacked account

Tried it just now myself but still got the “You are a bot” message, hopefully this will be an improvement for you since you won’t be treated as a criminal any more but as a victim of being hacked. I’m sure you will get your account back

Few minutes ago I was kicked out for behaviour and next perma banned. Didnt expect something like that. Played happily for about 30 minutes. What should I do now? Submited ticked but i see it will take days. Please advise. Should I forget about gw2?

Ps. My ticket:
kicked out of the game and banned minute ago [Incident: 121112-002758]

I’m sorry to hear it
Best you can do is wait for someone to review your ticket….unfortunately this brings about a serious issue, banning innocent people are STILL happening, which makes me worried that if I do get my account back what prevents them to banning us again? We don’t even know what/who is causing this.

Thx Dark I am happy that you take care. By the way u was faster then AN censorship on this forum because my post was deleted by AN in an instant but u still was able to answer it. I can answer your question how to be banned by AN. U should about now enter GW2 and for 10-20 minutes really fast press keys in AN monitored areas (higher gold income areas with better loot). I was using 1.2.3 keys really rapidly like playing piano and I think it caused my permaban.

Yes I saw that….your post and Meix were deleted but I still managed to reply to them. Probably because I’m refreshing this page a lot in hope that we get an answer…..quickly losing hope though. Almost banned for 3 days and not even ONE word from a-net regarding my issue.

Fast fingers you have Dark. I understand why you was banned. You just to fast to be human :-).

Ok guys please help me now. I really need support from this forum. Please help me to still have hope in this game. I am so angry now i feel I am near rage quitting. Please convince me I should patiently wait.

Hahaha that made me laugh thank you, and god knows I need a laugh after this mess.
Regarding the wait, there have been cases of people given their accounts back after a few days. IF you are lucky the support team will review you ticket and clear you, if you find yourself without a response after 3 days there is another thread here where you can post. After that I honestly don’t know…I’m almost at 3 days so I guess I’ll find out.

Dark,
you are great man. I am happy I meet you. I hope we can meet in game some day but i have no idea about your server/char name. It will be awesome. My anger on AN is smaller now. They just lost their minds. But killing customers is never good idea. I am sure they will undestand this shortly. I think about all this situation and get good idea:

New Black Lion Item – for 10000 gems – PermaBan Globe.

Because AN is making all this mess because of money I think a lot of people will invest RL money in this item to get permaban pratection to be able to play without problems and this insaban insanity. Hows that idea? I have money and I can pay more but please do not permaban me without reason.

My main is called Darkside Revan and I play (or used to play) in Sanctum of Rall. Send me a friend invite if we ever get through this mess and back in game

Also lmao! loving your permaban protection idea! post it in the suggestion forums xDDD

So I am feeling my anger overwhelm me here, and that is never a good thing.

So everyone who is having these. What other games you play? It is time to start looking at a new game, I have d3, sc2, but I can reactivate my wow, starwars, and eve accounts.
But have no problem buying a new game if we can get a following.
I could jump into GW1 but I am so mad at NCSoft I do not want to even think about that one..

Anyways If yall are up for it we can form a NCSoft Botters guild somewhere.

Ideas?

That guild seems like a funny idea xD
Regarding a new game….Star Wars becomes F2P on the 15th….hopefully I’ll have account back by then if not then that will mean I will miss the Lost Shore update and probably quit and try Star Wars out.

Yeah I will join you on the 15th if we do not have our accounts back, Lady Freeze I am sure will join me.

In other news I hate to admit it but LadyFreeze (My Wife) was right I should not have cancelled Wow for GW2. But SHHHH do not let her know She was right.

You made the right decision by switching WoW for GW2….at least that’s what I would have said a few days back. I still love the game but this kind of support ruins everything.

Awesome, message deleted again, this time without any reason. You deserve what’s coming from your pissed off customers, ANet. Just take it like a man and let us vent -.- You have no idea how irritating and offensive it is to get banned for something you look down upon, when you have exhibited nothing resembling that sort of behavior (in this case, botting/using third party programs). And it’s even more irritating that while legitimate players like me are wrongfully banned, bots and other third-party program users are running around freely inside the game. Great job!

+1

Bet you a “lkjnhg” or whatever is botting, right this very second while us legitimate players left here wondering how the hell this even happened in the first place.

This announcement will go away when you view the forum’s front page again.
__________
Showing that knowing people are here complaining about being banned with false claims. Do they really think I would tell friends to play this game? I would tell them to try another as this one risks you getting banned with false insulting accusations and with no reply from customer service for days.

I lol’d a bit when I saw it. there is no way in HELL that I would recommend this game to a friend even though I’ve defended this game many times for its “lack of end-game”, “boring gameplay”, etc.
Don’t get me wrong I still love the game I certainly wouldn’t be having such a hard time accepting that they are accusing me of something I have never done if I didn’t but this support is one of the, if not the worst support I have encountered.

GrapeGatsby.6937:

To the people up top who spoke of rubber banding I also had this problem but I also had about an hour of lag(frequent stops for a second or two on screen and then the damage would appear all at the same time also delays in my attacks in general), which at first I thought was my network, but was not the case since everything worked fine outside of the game. Anyways, towards the end of the hour I rubber banded twice in Cursed Shore while trying to leave the Shelter camp to go into the event, I eventually got out and started doing the event and got banned maybe 2 minutes after that. Hopefully everything will be resolved by the time the Lost Shores event rolls around at the end of this week wouldn’t want to miss the one time event.

So it’s happened to at least 4 people that got banned just before they got banned….are you guys being accused of “botting” also? or is it the “fraud” issue?
