    Default I got banned?

    I tried logging into the game yesterday and it said my account is blocked due to unacceptable behavior. No idea what that is referring to. I didn't even get an email telling me what unacceptable behavior I was banned for or for how long. What is up with that? Banned for no explicable reason, with no way to appeal it?

    So confused.

    inc rash of bans. From what I can see arenanet has crazy policies in place. For instance telling somebody they're stupid could constitute a 72 hour ban for you.

    Whoa are you serious? Can you even think what might have caused it? On the one hand, I'm kind of disgusted... HOWEVER if they can pull off stopping this turning into a WoW community, it might be for the greater good.

    Yea, I have no idea what caused it. I literally didn't talk to anyone outside of the guild. I wish they'd at least send me an email telling me what it was for and how long it is. As it is, I don't know anything except my account is locked out for some amount of time.

    A ban from chat would be more level-headed for those infractions.

    Anyways, a few big threads around with bewildered people in them. Not really sure what to tell you. Word of mouth is 72 hours.

    The weird thing is I didn't say so much as hello to anyone in the game. Let alone call anyone a shit eating cock sucker or anything like that. I'm not too upset about the ban honestly. It's during the week so i'll be at work most of the time. I am mostly annoyed I didn't get any communication from the company telling me what I did so I can avoid getting banned in the future.

    That is weird... are there others being banned without some sort of notice? If so, wow. If not, check your e-mail filters/spam stuff, IMO.


    If it ends up that you literally were never sent anything, either it's a bug on their end, or this is an absolutely unacceptable policy.

    Are you sure your account didn't get jacked overnight or something and the thief did something to get you banned?

    If you go to your GW2 account on the website and find the security section it actually lists your logon times, locations, and IP's.

    Alright, mystery solved. I told a friend he could play when I wasn't on and he usually names his character migrus, but that was taken so he used an alternate "cute" version of the name, miggers, which isn't intended to be taken as niggers, but I can understand the confusion. He's had that name so long in WoW and DAoC and never even got a complaint, I forgot it could even be confused with something racist.

    Still it would have been nice to have gotten an email.

    Any word on whether you'll get your account back? Or is this one of those things where you just roll another account on the same product key like battle.net?

    All it says is, "Account blocked due to unacceptable behavior. Please try again after block has expired," when i try to log in. That's all I know apart from Taolas saying the rumor on the street is that bans are 72 hours. I assume I'll be unbanned at some point.

    Lots of companies are doing that. Diablo 3 and Blizzard Customer support were way more active on twitter during the betas/launch with announcements than they were on the forums. I personally hate Twitter's interface and am ashamed to admit I find it confusing and unintuitive to use.

    What's wrong with email? Email is awesome. They should use email.

    This. I don't have a fucking clue how spamming @'s and #'s throughout a message is supposed to work or make any sense. My life is fine without twitter.
