Can understand them cracking down on macro crafting on a new server, where getting the first lgm crafters gives a guild a short term advantage (also, I imagine the first lgm crafters will be able to charge silly prices and make a fortune if they cba). Perma ban for first time a bit much tho.

getting banned for that is a little harsh. but as someone with 2 crafters, all levelled properly, then i don't have that much sympathy.

crafting is where having a gamecube and xbox really help, they break the tedium :D and crafting is tedious..

Dissagree. The whole point of telling you BEFORE you start cheating is so they do not have to discuss the "worth" of someone cheatin. You cheat you get banned. Any leniency they may have shown in the past was a lucky break for those players concerned.

Harsh for him/her an his mates to take but there it is. Worth or not ban tbh. An i'm sure anyone who's sat in tnn, jord or camelot for friggin hours hitting the same button to make the same bullshit to sell to the same merch will agree.

Bit daft to do it on his main account though with all the high RR's :(

GL to him and RL :)

Later

I agree, but isn't it a sick idea that to 'play a game' you aren't actually playing it. Been said a lot before I know but maybe we should all start questioning the system. Hey, I'm gonna go play DAoC by playing on my Xbox to keep me entertained. Shame :mad:

I dont understand ppl thinkin its unfair being banned for cheating tbh. I dont know you Indrid, so no offence intended, but if you cheat expect the possiblity of being banned. I think macro crafting undermines the ppl who actually DID craft the way it was ment to be done. I know a few ppl with lotsa LGMs. They stuck it out, so should you. Imo.

Crafting sux, no doubt...I cant make myself skill an LGM, but some ppl can. So they should get rewarded accordingly.

Sad for loosing another player, but not the way we lost you.

This game is slowly losing ppl as is, what a great idea to perma ban ppl, servers will close all the faster!
I'd like to know how many accounts closed in the last 6 months, compared to how many accounts opened?

Bug abuse is against rules isnt it? Does this mean anyone bug abusing will get perma banned instantly?
Placing Shrooms? Bainshee Wall bug? Emote spam?...etc = Perma Ban !!!
Or are those not classed as cheating or against the rules?

Bye bye, gl to ya.

I got myself an excellent macro/mouse tool.
its called Insomniac 2000.

Right monitor = movie/tv serie
left monitor = crafting resting arm clicking on "bling or blorp"

Works quite well.

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

get caught for either you get permabanned - maybe they could jump up and down on the accounts of the radar users as well, make it more of a banning.

They could have banned the first wave that got caught.

yep, I agree they should have.
I think they didn't because they were testing out the new tool.. meh (and possibly because radar catching was nowhere near as effective before it and the 2 week thing got rid of the "ooh but so many people are using radar it must be legal" excuse)

Still, djin got banned within the last week, no? not a year ago.
Anyone who's been caught using radar since the little "skiiing holiday" warnings has been permabanned.

If I was running GOA I would give these punishments.

Emote Spam - Orly owl photo sent back to reporter
Macro Crafting - 7 Day Ban - Trade Skills Reset
RPT Farming - 7 Day Ban - Half the rpts on the toon reset.
Texture Abuse - 7 Day Ban - Toon rolled back to pre-abuse time
LOS Abuse (Bainshees/Necros etc) - Warning, if found to be doing again 7 day ban and final warning. (However this needs to be for BLANTENT abuse)
Radar - Instant Perma Ban, All accounts listed to that player.
Speed Hack - Instant Perminate ban on all accounts owned by the player.

After the 2nd/3rd punishment if they person was caught doing it again they would be perma banned.

Sooo, it's not macrocrafting he got banned for?
