Anyway, saw this after laughing at the anger about us on the Dewstone Bridge...

So I was banned during that ban wave when the forum were crowded with people saying they were banned for no reason. Well I was one of those people. I didn't know what I had done wrong. I contacted appeals and after a week, they responded: "Thank you for your appeal inquiry.

After reviewing pertinent logs, we have determined that the action taken against your account for use of third-party programs was correct. We will not be reversing relevant suspensions and/or notes applied to your account. "

After a few mails with them I got mad and asked them to tell me what exactly had I used that was illegal just for the sole purpose of deleting it so I could start over with a new char.
Today they send me this : " Thank you for your appeal inquiry.

After reviewing your appeal, we have overturned the ban on your account and it has been released. Please let us know if you experience issues logging into the account. "

I'm mind blown, they unban me NOW. Wasn't their decision final and irreversible, what the gently caress? After I lost all my land. Thank you Trion really but I don't really want to have anything to do with your game. I don't trust you at all anymore. Any ideas why they unbanned me?

Scapes posted:

The more appeals our Game Masters review, the more patterns of false-positive behavior are identified. As our detection methods get more precise, we're also retroactively reinstating accounts that were affected by earlier, unwarranted bans. Twice the Patron Time lost is also granted.

I'm pretty sure this came after those banned people lost their lands.

This game sure is something.

Most arcane or higher armor on the AH is vastly, vastly overpriced. However, sometimes there's a rare deal. You really have to know what it takes on average to regrade a piece and make the judgment call yourself.

Thanks, that helped a lot , bought 2 arcanes for around 300 each and regraded them with the scrolls+charms. It was still cheaper than if I'd just bought one heroic.

Without PVP there would be no incentive to get the "best" PVP gear. No reason to throw thousands of gold down a hole trying to regrade your gear to slightly better gear. No reason for crafters to bother crafting weapons and armor at all, as the stuff you get from quests is plenty good enough to protect yourself from mobs. The economy would be hosed.

Of course they could retune the economy to deal with it. Millions of people play games like The Sims or Farmville where combat PVP isn't an option at all, but it would be a very different game.

If that were true then I would have been able to make it to level 3 in Rift without wanting to hang myself.

Trion are one giant bag of poo poo, the only good title they are associated with is Archeage and all they do is publish it, how competent can you really be as a game developer when you didn't even develop the only good title that you are associated with?

I'm actually taking a break from AA now. I'll give my manor plot away probably to anyone leading Goon Squad still that wants it.

I'm playing WoW because the expansion dropped and it is good. I logged back into EVE after getting kicked from Goonwaffe by Midge and his spergs (over fishing, god drat), and I'm permanently blacklisted from goon/CFC orgs in EVE, which is kind of poo poo, since I left NCdot after mittens invited me to join goons in EVE. I'm just pirating in lowsec now though because null is terrible, and DBRB and others who got me kicked from the Star Citizen goon org (again, over fishing), was just hilarity.

But right now I'm just enjoying playing a game with no autistics screaming on forums and in IRC over broken PVE pacts like this was EVE, and PVPing till my fingers hurt in a PVP game with no repercussions.

The poo poo of this whole situation is all the goons that robbed the guild bank repeatedly, took their rage out on people in other games because they were incapable of playing a game within the context of that game, and in the end making a lot of goons that had nothing to do with it worse off for it.

But I also have been shown that once again 98% of goons are cool as poo poo, love to PVP and play MMOs for what they are, and laugh at goons who cause such stupid drama, and it is for these goons that I enjoy helping in games, and what keeps me coming back, because it's always the same group of cool dudes, sinking fishing boats in one game or another and having a good time, and that's what makes games with goons worth playing.

I can't believe there's still a restriction on making west continent characters on Aranzeb. Anyone that's been wanting to join us in the guild still can't.

AA is turning out to be the MMO failure that finally gets me to go back to WoW for the first time since Burning Crusade was about a year old. I'm just waiting on the all clear that the servers have stabilized and I'll be buying Draenor. Saturday was the first day since launch that I didn't log in the entire day. I'm getting the "I don't give a fucks" with this game and I wish selling properties was easier because I'd just cash out now and have that gold if/when I return.

Oh my god, they really hosed up this time. I mean, you would think they would be able to get the coding for their own cash shop items correct, right?

Someone figured out an elementary glitch with the flashy racing kits that lets you get any item you want out of it, and as a result thunderstruck trees and other items from the box are crashing in price hard.

DnD had like a day were minimal duping happened that after a small rollback had no real effect on the community. (in fact most people benefited from it cause they sent out caturday bags for everyone) It also had people exploiting player made missions to level quickly. I dont know if anything happened after that but it was surprisingly solid of a launch and post release outside of the dearth of content.

Nothing in this magnitude. Specially on a game like archage that is so reliant on player economy.

Space Skeleton

Games like AA with such a player focused economy are the ones where those looking to exploit/hack go into overdrive looking for ways to beat the game. Looking back to games like EVE before they closed a lot of the bugs and loopholes around the economy there was stuff kinda like this happening every month, sometimes every week. Not that I am comparing this game to EVE but it seems to have a similar level of effort in the people focused on trying to exploit it.

I wouldn't say this is the worst gently caress up of an mmo and an economy.

NCSoft has a cash shop currency tied to multiple games and one games let you put in negative bids which would win you the auction instantly and give you the balance of the difference. This was used to gently caress with the cash shop currency making it all sorts of funny.
