this is what ive been curious about all week..

[frodnonnag]

back, sitting in wg.

[Sorantia]

Lose anything?

[Colenzo]

back, sitting in wg.

god damn it

[Nattack]

My Tsukikazu sune-ate are still there, so either SE was like "lol you have the worst drop rate ever, take this please" or they didnt do shit

edit:
I also seem to have a huge welcoming party, it made me feel warm and fuzzy

[Lexa]

So far, out of my 15-ish good friends who got banned, two are confirmed perma and two are confirmed back ingame with nothing missing. Most people seem to be asleep, though, so I guess I'll find out the status of the rest in the morning.

[Howard Roark]

as someone suggested, I think they were more mad about the alexandrite duping, as this is a more obvious sellable (of course drops in pool can be sold to buyers but that's a slightly different discussion perhaps)

I'm curious to know the differentiation they made in terms of who got perma and who temp, for amount duped, items vs. alex etc (if this was disclosed in the 132+ pages of the LM-17 thread forgive me if I did more than read tempyst's quotes and the bolded names among the collected the threads)

my own guess would be those that got perma'd not only participated in the dupe extensively but furthered it by inviting and enouraging others to do the same (some of this based on the number of LS leaders banned)

don't let these thoughts be confused with approval, I think the whole thing is heavy handed if not highly predicatble given past MMO's attitutudes toward duping. my apologies if any of this has been repeated already ad nauseum the various threads


welcome back boys, hope you all got to keep your stuff

[Pawky]

I'm back! big fuck you to everybody celebrating the perma-bans of people who only did this 1 time literally.

[Kurt Cobain]

you duped, should have gotten permabanned tbh, count your blessings

[Colenzo]

wish more people would post

[Deemos]

I'm back, and they didnt remove any item. Probably because those items was cells, lol~

[Fiye]

Don't turn this into another bitch fest. Please?

<3

[Ashira]

Then don't post, Fiye.

[mallister]

my own guess would be those that got perma'd not only participated in the dupe extensively but furthered it by inviting and enouraging others to do the same (some of this based on the number of LS leaders banned)

this was not our experience. of the two groups i was personally involved with, my old one was utterly raped with perma (five that i know of), while my current group isn't all accounted for yet but it looks like only one perma and even that one we're not sure about until he gets off work and tries to log in. if he is perma, it makes no sense. he was a tank, not a pt/ally leader. niether of our pt leaders were banned, we talked openly about moving people in and out of pt in chatlog. neither of our groups participated in nyzul/sandworm duping, or farmed zones for alex specifically.

[Pawky]

My friend who had a LM-11 code was able to log in as if it was a temp. ban.

[yunie]

Our group duped less than 100 alexandrites. Got 3 perma banned (all leaders) and 1 temp ban (mule account @_@;; ). All regular members weren't affected.

[dbdesigns]

It was a long time ago but I think I remember getting around 300-400 Alexandrite on a good day from AR

[Tarage]

Let this be a warning. Even if you think SE is wrong and stupid, their game, their rules.

Don't be stupid, and you won't get banned.

{Congratulations}

We don't care.

Edit: And I don't want to see another LM-17 thread.
