Cleaning out my closet! Ghettosmurf is gone...

[Indrid]

Hi all.

To those who dont know; Djin account is banned for macro tool abuse on classic server. I did something stupid, i cheated to get alchemy for the guild. Didnt know mouse-click was third party program terminated - perma bann. Ohwell, guess i got what i deserved.

Anywaym, wanted to say thanks to all i have been playing with and against on excalibur, and in the end prydwen. I made many friends in this game, even real life friends! people i have met, over a fo0kin internet game. Pretty amazing if u ask me.

For those who want to know; I started this game, right after opening. A rl friend of mine was playing, and i thought, this looks like a cool game. First computer game i have played, other than Duke Nukem 3d, Larry and so on
I started a midgard realm, so i could fight against my friend. Didnt know anything about the game, chars or anything. I saw kobold, looks cool, runemaster, sounds cool. Oki, ill make it. Start points? erh, i dunno. Str is prolly nice. So i put 10 str, 5con, 5 dex, 5 qui and 5 piety! Aye, very strong, i can carry alot!
I started playing with Rabid Badgers, and moved to Nazgul. My runemaster got 46, and i stopped playing. Came back 6 months after, and lvled 50 and started SB. Hooked up with Blizzard guys, and became more active with SB and Runie. We merged with Groove and made pretty strong rps, both in Blizzard and Groove (also Aurora Borealis). After some years, groove got inactive. I had another year afk from computer, and when i got back i started playing with Revolver. Had Great fun with them. Made a ranger on hib, which was fun and overpowered, played with some friend from Bannana Bunnies. Zero teamplay. Started on classic, used macro and got banned. Pretty much it. thats the story.

I wanne thank so many ppl that i have played with. Its hard to put all the names together. But you know who you are. Nazgul, Groove, Blizzard, Revolver, Banna Bunnies, Dem Hibbies, Our Group, AD, RR, ..... can keep on going.

this thread is getting long, so ill finish. Was great playing with you. I am still playing on classic, dunno for how long, cause in feb, i will travel around the world/asia. Will be on Gladiator in Elevation on hib/classic.

/hugs to all <3
Djin - Indrid - Imakeyoufamous - Djiin - Indriid - is signing out. Will miss my chars.

If you knew it was blatently cheating, why not do it on a blank account? xD

Glhf etc.

 

[Ashala]

well if its only your account thats banned you can always start again i guess, if you feel like it

 

[fotm]

Haha

 

[Chimaira]

Bloddy GOA. Never heard of anyone getting banned for that in US.
Then again that might be a good thing

Sucks to loose chars for a silly thing like that but happens

was always a pleasure playing with and against you...

cba to discuss goa/crafting system anymore :touch:

 

[Rush]

What in that statement did you not understand?

Still pretty harsh, GOA give a slap on the wrist for radar users - like 7 days suspension, and perma ban someone using mouse clickers. Well I say blame mythic tho, they really need to look inte the crafting bollocks or make mouseclickers legal.

Djin, really sad to see you go but lets have some fun on classic a while, it will be of rox me thinks.

goa amazes me to be honest, they didnt permanently ban RADAR USERS (anyone recalls skii holidays for well known SM for example? )

and now they perma ban macro_users (which of course should be penalised but warning or 3 day ban first or something... not permanent)

would be nice to hear a GM or something what is this sudden change in banning policy.

 

[[VR]Fuji]

Was fun playing with you din norska gimp! ;D !! see you on irc/vent ofc ^^

<3

 

[Belomar]

Bye, bye. Pretty close to RR10 too?

Now let's see the GOA-bashing for another macro-ban commence.

In another thread with Urizen(General discussion)

Nope radar users get permabanned as well as does anyone caught using any other third party program to cheat such as a speedhack, autohunter etc.

If they were caught by the tool or by me directly they'll have been perma-banned. Only the first wave of people caught by the tool were given two week suspensions, everyone else before and since was terminated permanently. We don't give 3 week suspensions and in fact our system doesn't allow us to - it's not a period we can choose. The longest period that we suspend for is 15 days, after that it's a termination. Either your friend isn't telling you the truth or he's playing on a different account because his original one was banned.

 

[Tiarta]

can only agree, perma ban for using a macro tool for crafting is way too harsh.

hope GOA will change the policy on this.

imo radar skillz is way more bannable offense

 

[DrunkSkunk]

another mid pwned

In another thread with Urizen(General discussion)

Yeah so just like he said they DIDNT perma ban radar users that got caught in the first wave.

 

[-Freezingwiz-]

:< sad to see another good SB getting banned, was nice to fight against u'r SB, but on the other hand, cheating is cheating, but fgs they should make crafting more fun or like in wow, make an auto thingy to create all u can with the materials u have in u'r inventory insted of the silly clicking all the time.


edit: and it's nice to see a few ppl is acually man enough to admit they have been banned insted of "I'm quitting" or "I'm on 1 week vecation" after a big ban round

but gl in the future

 

[Zovic]

another cheater bites the dust!

 

[Kinag]

Was nice to fight by your side in Blizzard mate, hope you'll take care in real life

Knew a guy form "early" daoc age that used macros for everything.
crafting-macros/pl-macros hell he even had a macro running around in Df farming seals while he slept. After a year or so, he got reported by some roleplayer cuz he's macros was adding on this guys mobs. They looked into it and he got a 3day ban.
I couldnt care less about macro crafting, sad to see u go Simon.

 

[Everz]

Was also good to fight against you m8, gl irl m8, sad to acc perma banned just for macro'ing

 

[Shike]

Should have gotten a harsh varning on first offence, and then permaban on second offence. 2 week ban or something is enough to let people know it isnt accepted to use macros for crafting, if they go on then they are stupid and deserve a permaban.

Radar should be permaban at all times.

 

[Dalilama]

bye bye djiin was a pleasure fight by ur side in my Blizzard dayes a long long time ago.

 

[Gamah]

Another example of GOA punishments being way out of proportion. BUt what else can you expect from a company that bans for emote spam.

 

[Zil]

can only agree, perma ban for using a macro tool for crafting is way too harsh.

hope GOA will change the policy on this.

cheating is cheating. since when is it ok to cheat a lil bit?

 

[Minstrel]

u aswell? bah to who im gonna whine now?

Remember the OF odin days? u still havent beat my lil cute friar

Baj baj bro if want to start over again on hib and need help u know who to contact

 

[Castus]

another diego bites the dust.GJ GOA!

 

[Dr_Evil]

Imo they should implement a ' /autocraft on ' feature just like the new feature they're implementing in 1.81 ' /autoloot '.

The /autocraft feature when turned on will continue crafting the same that you clicked the first time until u've ran out of materials. That would stop people having to use 3rd party programs to be able to craft.

I can see the logic of having to use time to get to a certain point in crafting skill, but I can't see the logic in having to sit by the computer to watch a green bar and click a button every time the green bar stops.

Sad to see another perma banned trying to craft.

 

[Chronictank]

In another thread with Urizen(General discussion)

maybe requil does maybe he doesnt , but i know a fair few people who have got 7-14 day suspensions for 1st offence radar.
Ah the beauty(sp?) of not naming radar users

 

[Void959]

cheating is cheating. since when is it ok to cheat a lil bit?

Applying the same logic - anyone caught doing 80 in a 70 zone should be sent to jail for life.
