interesting ban observation

[Scr4t]

so i got a ban last week for the credit dupe, and less than 8 hours later i get another 7 day ban for ares pvp bot. well my account went active today so that means that bans dont stack. i dont think anyone should push this point i think i got lucky that with 2 bans that close it wasnt perma ban but its good to know none the less.

Wow that's crazy that they didn't close your account for good. they are obviously allot more lenient than Blizz haha!

[xarper]

Did you get to keep all your credits from the duping?

[Scr4t]

no credits are gone but i kept the levels the rank 39 pvp and 1k/1k pvp marks

Back in the day, I got banned 4 times by Blizzard over the course of a couple of months. Blizzard was pretty lenient too.

You might want to learn some English. Especially commas, capitalization and periods.

What you're saying here is that you lost no credits; i.e. that you got to keep all your credits.

But I do not think that is what you want to say.

Interesting, hope no one brings this to their attention lol

Has anyone been banned for buying credits ?

[montgola]

I have sold credits to chinese companies and other people and noone i know of had been ban so I dont think they really look into it like WoW

This is very nice to hear. The game masters following a lenient policy like that is a must-have for me to ever switch. I don't have fun doing repetitive tasks for hours on end, but i love programming. if a game doesnt allow you to interfere with it, it's not interesting to me. Might get an accoutn sooner than i thought now, so thanks for the info!

Dont mean to thread jack but i have a Swtor ban question for you guys. When you get banned, what is the error code number? I was running untzbot for a bit after having been logged in for about 30hrs and I got disconnected. Now I had been disconnected before and got errors 4001 and 9000. But this time I got error code 3001 which said that my account was not allowed to access their servers. I immediately petitioned in game and on swtor.com and got contacted by a guide saying that this was a normal disconnect code. Although I highly doubt that an error code saying that my account isnt allowed to access the server would be a normal disconnect code. Just wondering what you guys think, as I thought I had been kicked from the server and suspended.

Yeah, this is a normal disconnect code. I get this all the time - it happens after the server kicks you off when you've been logged in for more than ~24 hours or so. If you try to access your server, then you get the 'This account is not authorized', etc. Just close the client and log in again.
