After the banwave on Asura, most of the endgame LSs fell apart, and Jamofu was banned. Asura was the server most affected after all. I was in Demonhunter's VIPElite LS, one of the top LSs along with Supermarioland for Einherjar at least, and I ended up getting banned for almost no reason some time after VIPElite was eaten by bans. Although I had done some suspicious fishing and didn't even do Salvage with DH, I was still at my computer (fishing) and got banned with NO warning or /tell. I confirmed the other botters on the bridge were still there... fishing. I sensed outright discrimination. It's possible me kiting KV for a very long time with the weakened (during salvage bans) Vae Victus HNM LS was the cause, plus one temp ban in my history; so many people were watching than usual and reported to a GM that we were holding the HNM.
This KV spawn was the day right after the bans, and nearly EVERY person in Whitegate all rushed to Altep, when news spread immediately of it spawning within the ban confusion. This rush of all of WG to KV would never happen before the top Endgame LSs were shot to hell >.>. The one HNM LS I hired, Vae Victus, was hugely affected by the bans, and we were claiming KV consistently before the bans. Now, there were at least 50 players watching me kite KV, and it was pretty nerve wrecking. We couldn't kill KV due to vital people in VV temp/perma banned and the GM pressuring us with a time limit, and we lost claim. The fact so many players saw me kiting it and reported me NM holding is probably contributing to my ban I mentioned (I should have taken off my old LS pearl when kiting >.<). We had to hold it as long as possible for any party members we could get but to no avail, /sigh. You could probably ask some old VV members about the day after bans, if they were at KV. I'm sure they would remember a DRK desperately wanting an Ace's Helm so bad hehe ;p.
Anyways, I enjoyed my time on Asura, and I don't plan on picking up the game again till FF14. I had the pleasure of knowing at least one of Jamofu's long-time acquaintances (whose name I won't reveal) in my Limbus LS. He was practically a mentor for mastering the job of DRK and had an Apocalypse, and he gave me many tips and helped me get into VIPElite. It's too bad I got banned, or I might have gotten up to his level. Well, fuck da STF (police). I hope FF14 is good enough that we WON'T need a fucking STF that hands out bans for no credible reasons.
