Banned For Making Too Much Silver

[Ramrod]

I mean, there is a lot to read here, but when I got to this part

"I actively play the game, across 6 32” monitors – watching all my characters."

I got a chuckle. You are like Barney in How I Met Your Mother with his entire wall being a monitor.

hahaha. Dude shoulda just brought a projector for this project.

When you add rl parrying to your GS setup:

So i take it there may be a few capped characters for sale at a pretty low price here? ��

Clear abuse of mechanics. Should’ve just taken the slap on the wrist and moved on. Nice mental gymnastics though.

I don't think there's much demand for permabanned characters. But with as stupid as the GS player base is overall, I don't rule anything out.

Ahhh, great point. In my head it was the accounts not the characters.

Buy them low and hold out for a permaban reduction salve in the simu store someday.

Sometimes I wake up at night laughing thinking about this post. I just wanted to say thank you for making the dumbest post on the forum in a long time.

There's a reason why major games make you sign/re-sign (accept) a EULA each time they make a major update and make you hit that accept button BEFORE allowing you to play after its' effective date. That's all I am going to say.

The powers that be at Simutronics have seen it fit to permanently ban me for making too much silver (implied: without them make enough money). I am posting this so that everyone knows the truth of the situation. For months, I have been fighting in REIM, I've probably said hello to some of you in the last node, where I spent most of my time. I was, as the GMs have now called it, cycling the Emperor and Empress. I bought thousands of dollars worth of REIM orbs and died hundreds of times in the process. All told, I made 1-2B silver in roughly 6 months (heavily tail weighted as I got better at it). After implementing the loot cap in April (which I honestly knew nothing about until I saw a random thought on LNET), they removed over 800M silver from my accounts and implemented a 90 day AFK penalty across them. When I contacted support to argue that nothing I did was against any published rules or implied game mechanics, they spent a week looking through logs. In the end, they determined that after the loot cap was implemented in April, one of my eight characters earned over the cap by abusing a game mechanic (they assigned every silver made to one character... the value was under the collective loot cap for my group). NOTE: This is not the penalty they originally stated. Despite my saying on multiple occasions that I would be honest and return whatever they thought was obtained "against policy", they decided my 25+ years in the game were not enough to substantiate my history of positive actions and interactions.

I would like to again thank all the GMs and GHs that made this game what it was/is for so long. Thank you to the many players that I have interacted with the years as well.

Sincerely,
Soleren

Sounds like you've got a lot of time on your hands.
