Action Taken Against Third-Party Tool Users (Sep. 26)

[SephYuyX]

75 BLM / 43 WHM / 43 SMN / 37 RDM / 25 THF - 121 Merits

So you have one 75 job, but 121 merits???

Whats wrong with that?

[Suiram]

Capping MP, INT, Elemental Skill, Ice Potency, Thunder Potency, and unlocking Freeze II and Burst II is 123 merits; seems to me like 121 is a reasonable number for someone dedicated to their one job.

permabanned on pandemonium, but im on ps2 and no one gets on my account, seems like a random ban to me. Apparently bazaaring and letting someone on ur account is violation of ToS, but according to POL ppl, i should have been notified by a GM if one of these was the reason i was banned
my names not gray'd out either so um? i dont get it

rofl that picture never fails to deliver.

A friend got LM-11... He got banned once for Flee Tool at the beginning of the year but after that he never used any other third party programs instead of Windower... Nothing can be done even explaining that to GMs?

If Bazaaring is banned there would be more than 3,300 people removed. So this would fall under "I did something I shouldn't have" or "No one gets on my character, just 5 people have the information". If you truly did nothing then you'll be restored or you're only on a temp ban.

If you explain to them that all he uses is windower, they will laugh at you, and probably ban you too, lol.

No, it's not a 2-way discussion. They won't elaborate on what happens to you or why you were suspended/banned beyond the first letter you receive. They don't care, probably have like 3 people watching 500,000 accounts.

So, does anyone other than you know how to login to your account or not? You have no argument if anyone other than YOU knows your POLID and Password.

Apparently what he meant was someone told him he was banned for letting someone on his account, but according to him noone else has ever been on his account.

[Matricide]

i think he meant..

the GM's said that's one of the reasons, but he explained that he's never done it.

i guess.. whatever.

1 other person knows the info but i shouldnt be banned for that, guess i'll find out when i get this letter why i was banned

It's not that someone else knows, it's what did that person do when they logged in as you (most likely without you knowing).

[Emilee]

they didnt give me a reason why i was banned, just those might be a possiblilty and he said if either of those were the case, those are "minor" offenses and a GM would have contacted me about it. This is my first offense in 3 years of playing, so permaban is kinda harsh ya? As for the bazaaring thing, yes i bazaar a lot, but you really have to. Sure some people try to avoid huge tax fees, but what about items that cant be put on the AH? Makes sense to bazaar those no?

i dont think they did anything on my account, i highly doubt it, almost positive he wouldnt do anything on my account, but maybe he did something on his account and they linked my account to his IP, only thing i can think of

You are probably banned if this 1 other person uses pos/flee hacks and used it while borrowing your account (which I assume is what happened).

I know a lot of people who share their info with other people and often are played by other people (very confusing and a bit annoying btw) and none of them got banned, not for that nor for using windower or other things that again are undetectable from the server side anyways.
