Should have done a better job auditing your buy.

Hi Folks..was wandering how this works and hoping someone can shed light on this matter.11 Days ago i sold my toon on the forums for 23b isk.The next day i used the isk to purchase a new toon for 22.1b isk.i received the new toon after the 10 hour delay and logged on to check him out etc..immediatley i was sent a letter from GM saying i have been warned for buying isk for real money and was deducted 23 billion isk into the negative.basicsally making my toon useless that i just received.that happened to be the total value of the new toon and the warning was listed right beside theGM transaction as recovering stolen isk.apparently this GM made a huge mistake and didnt investigate where i got the isk in the first place.i was being punished for the transaction i made in which i transferred the 22.1b isk to the toon i was buying so he would transfer the toon in return.(thats the transaction that was flagged) cld this be something the previous owner was doing illegally before he transferred?? or was it just lack of investigating on the GMs part? i have since linked all the forum post and info to the GM under a petition but its been 12 days and counting and no reply.normally it only takes 3 or so days. could someone help?

Go online, find a good Iceland lawyer (civil, obviously), and get the wheels running. Threats and publicity are enough to get most companies off their arse to rectify a problem a lot faster than a "click-here-to-wait-60-days-for-a-reply" petition.

You don't sound mad enough from the writing style.
You sure you're not hiding anything else?

This sounds very bizarre. It makes wonder how safe it is to purchase toons. Does this kind of thing happen a lot?

I would personally want to see the records or audit trail they are using to accuse you.

Hi. I'm the person mentioned by Kazanir et al. earlier in the thread. Obviously I'm now unbanned but I can't say the process was in any way a good experience. Tickets were ignored or closed without comment, e-mails to security@ went unanswered - after 2 weeks of trying and failing to get anyone to reply I gave up. It's very difficult to get unbanned when your protestations of innocence disappear into a black hole.

Luckily, my CEO and another director spent a bunch of their time pestering people at CCP via various sources, eventually getting a reply to the effect of "If he is innocent, please explain Dodgy Character's actions". Dodgy Character (not his name) being a freighter/industry guy I legitimately bought and transferred to one of my accounts. Apparently it had something to do with RMT before I bought it and the character transfer wasn't taken into account when bans were handed out :(

I'm all for getting rid of bots and RMTers but there really needs to be a system in place to deal with ban appeals in a reasonable timeframe, especially with the way skill training works. My lost game time got reimbursed but I'm still out a month of training on multiple accounts.

Could someone please tell me what "cld" means? At first I thought it was a keyboard error, but then I saw that he could write words like would and sound.

What could "cld" mean?

"Cld" is short for Could.common in texting.Do you have a cellphone? Just curious. If any other grammar trolls have any questions,or just bored from trolling forums, feel free to reply. thank u <(you)

I'm curious - where did you get the 23 bil in the first place to buy a toon? You've been marked down that amount, so regardless of the toon's history it seems that CCP is tracking that amount of isk.

Did you, perchance, RMT that isk? Because it 's very likely to have been stolen from a hacked account (leastwise, that's what the security devblogs have taught me) and IF THIS IS THE CASE, I have neither sympathy nor interest in seeing your situation reverted to pre isk removal.

If you DID come by that isk honestly, by PLEX or mindless grinding years of mining, then I sympathize and hope you receive a satisfactory conclusion.

Very curious about that 23 bil.

He sold his first character, can't you read?
