So I was afk at Bride in between penons and yeti on Tigris.. [Gm]Glabrio whispered me and said "Hi" and I didn't respond because I was in the fucking bathroom... I came back from bathroom and getting a drink and noticed I was disconnected and his chat was still last in list.. Tried to reconnect and see if i Could whisper back to see why he whispered me and I have perma ban.. How the hell would I go about that shit.. A ban straight from a GM for taking a piss..
A guildmate got banned as well as a couple union mates by Gm's personally, but they were all botting. I was getting plvled at yetis for my dam yeti stick quest.. Now I quit sro for good >.>

In your thread title, you said you ignored him.

In your post, you said you were afk and missed his whispers.

So which is it? Were you lying then or are you lying now?

I took a pic actually to send to their stupid ass Customer Service of the ban, but not of him talking to me.. I was in a hurry to get back in game and see if he was still trying to talk to me. Just what I'd expect from JM >.> Only reason I'm not really too mad is cuz I only played on it when I was bored and my brother is the one most pissed off. He put in prolly 2 and a half weeks worth into it. I was getting plvl from guildy for yeti quest to get to 52 faster..
I even Posted my inquiry on the official forums, but it was removed within an hour when I went to check for replies..

Is power leveling even allowed ? Obviously it isn't from a bot but if its a player is it or not

That's a retarded move by that GM....a player should be allowed to stand around anywhere in the game if he feels to whether being power leveled or not...

It's not as if your char was grinding and you didn't answer him which would make him think you're botting....which is still not a good reason to ban either because you don't have to talk to anyone while you grind....

They need to come up with a better system of catching bots...saying "hi" as a means to see who's botting is completely retarded.

sounds like the GM had to reach his ban quota and took it out on anyone he could see.

tbh it makes perfect sense, they posted months back on their war against botters.

one of the things they also mentioned is no plvl by bot allowed. i saw by myself how the GM bans full ong pt.

in your case, the GM couldn't know you are afk, he probably saw you standing and nearby another char botting, he assumed you are being plvled.

just out of curiosity, was your friend banned aswell ?

Idk if my friend was banned that was with me, hasn't mailed back to me yet on the new char I made to tell guild about this bullshit... Same guild must mean we were both botting >.> Not like I can make someone not bot. Finding a legit guild is impossible nowadays.

pic of my ban notice. Says illegal program usage...I'm positive I wasn't using anything illegal to take a piss. I sent it to Customer Service. if I was banned for being plvled though, that is bull as well.. I was fighting mobs with him but had to go afk for a few to piss.... Ran to bridge and sat down.

Spoiler!

Whats the probability of the GM spawning right next to YOU out of the 3500 players and at the time when you are PISSING and not during when you sit playing for hours. Can someone calculate this probability? That's just absurd. :roll:

When I see disconnected from server screen.. my first thought isn't "Take a screeny of the DC button" I never take screenshots. I only took that one cause I needed it to send to customer service.

I'm not mad about losing the char, I'm mad about JM banning me for doing nothing when they can't ban obvious botters and then ignoring/deleting posts I made directly to them on official website asking about it.

As I said.. I was being plvled at yeti's by a friend.. Maybe there for him, but Idk if he got banned yet. Hasn't mailed me back on the new char I made. Oh and 3500 players? There is only a little over 1000 on tigris...

hmm sorry about u getting banned but i wanna ask: Can u actually whisper to a GM?

I sorta remember some thing about their names being [GM] xxxx(a white space between']' and 'x') which made it impossible to whisper to em, can't confirm since i haven't ever seen a GM since after the 60-70 cap, but any1 else remember this

Nah, Maybe in private servers like ZSZC, but not in isro. All the GM's I ran into, I could pm if I could remember their weird ass names that could be spelled multiple ways...

Can u read? where did the OP said he was botting...he was standing around afk..I want joymax to ban bots..all bots...but find a sensible way other than saying "hi" to find out if you're a bot...because they will start banning legit players if this is how they're gonna do it. I see why other people on here can't stand your ass.

Funny I was just thinking that same thing about you. :sohappy:

Anyways, you're going off a story someone told you, you weren't actually there. No screen shots to prove what he said was the truth. I'm not calling the OP a botter, I'm just saying, the events may have played out a little differently.

There is nothing wrong with a GM saying hi to someone grinding to see if they're a botter. If I'm grinding and I don't reply back, I expect to get banned. How would you like it to be? Would you like them to put every botter on trial and drag it out. Innocent until proven guilty? Or maybe they should set there and watch the botter bot for a full day, youtube it, and send it to the main office to get a go ahead, to ban them. I digress-HATERS GONNA HATE

why don't they say how they plan to distinguish botters from people first?
They might as well go to hotan and clear up all the stallers standing around.

Odd i was sure it wasn't possible, meh who cares, i never see a GM anyways...

So if you're standing out near a Yeti field chatting with some guildmates in guild chat about some important thing regarding your guild, and I PM you to say hi, and you don't answer... I can turn you in for botting and get you banned? waits... blinks...

Maybe there's more to the story. Maybe a GM can see what players are in your party and knows one of them is botting, and is a higher level. Therefore knows it's a bot plvl party and bans them all. Or maybe the GM was just having a bad day and wanted to ban someone...

There certainly shouldn't be a trial, but there should be more than just a simple ignored PM. There are some places out in the field where mobs never go, so standing there to go afk for a few minutes is generally safe. Why travel all the way back to town, and then all the way back out, just to run to the other side of my house to check on my screaming daughter when I can just move to that "safe" spot for a few minutes? Would the GM ban you for standing afk inside town?

I don't believe they simply ban anyone standing afk

For one, I said, if a GM PM's me, not a player. Two you are assuming a lot, and three, damn you're lucky, my wife makes sure I have my daughter in my sights at all times or she bitches. :palm:
