Really hope this topic is being considered as evidence, because the OP looks anything but contrite - making excuses, asking how much trouble they'd get in if they did it again, asking if there's a way to remove the black mark...

The crap you admit to doing ruins games and the only reason CCP should give you any leeway is in case you learn your lesson - and given you've been repeatedly banned from many games for cheating and intentionally ruining the game experience of honest players, you're not going to learn and you should be asked to leave ne'er to return.

I've done my time, paid my penance. How long are you going to persecute after the criminal has repaid their debt to society?

I was punished as CCP saw fit.
I've served that time.

If you don't think that punishment was severe enough perhaps you can write to your senator.
Maybe I should be put on some no fly list, or offender register so I can never get another job.
Maybe men in balaklava should storm my computer room with automatic weapons and ship me off to Gitmo without trial.

I'm not going to indulge you further.
Done my time, account is back up and running, got the answers I was looking for, and I'm off about my business.

Cheers all was fun.

I get it.. Despite all the "selective enforcement" years ago with the wt0 hack it was technically against the Eula... We get it, the 30 day ban was warranted- maybe an official statement or warning first- but that is neither here nor there. The problem I have is suspending game service, while still charging someone for it.. I used the aphack on one of my characters while the other five clients were open so they all got banned.. I was wrong and have learned the error of my ways... But paying $90 for thirty days of not bein able to play isn't right.. The training time is forever lost, but the right thing to do would be the game time being credited to the banned accounts...

Did these bans not come with a "no-transfer" character flag? You seem to imply they didn't get it.

You're correct. They didn't.

Not sure you understand the term. My arse is fine thanks.

You're correct. They didn't.

I appreciate your concern and will evaluate my future decisions on a case by case basis. I knew what I was doing and the consequences involved.


While my cheating ways really haven't changed that much since I was 16, I've been getting caught lately.

I must be getting old and slow.

UO - Never Banned
SWG - Never Banned
WOW - Never Banned

SWTOR -Banned (couple of times)
PS2 - Banned (many many times)

Now this.

Maybe I dodged a bullet, and need to have a good long hard look at myself.

When did the policy change?

Last I heard if you got a warning or temp ban then the accounts were locked down so characters couldn't be transferred.

I obviously missed something.....

Can those of us who don't cheat and like to believe that the wrath of CCP is as harsh as Guard likes to claim have an explanation as to why not? Surely you want your deterrent to be strong? Seems to me like these cheaters got away scot-free. Makes me almost want to try it...

But will you ban people using the AP100 exploit?

That is only true for our bot detection systems. In this case, given that the accounts that we could tell did other bad stuff were permanently banned, we did not have concerns about people moving characters to avoid "strikes" as we did with our war on bots.

That could have been a mistake. Who knows. But it was decided not to apply that restriction, because we didn't see a good reason to do so.

so you're one of THOSE assholes who literally cannot play a game without cheats? Please, by all means, pick up a knife, and jam it into your jugular.

Given that in future you will be perma banning people for this its a bit of a moot point. Although I too would have liked to have seen them locked down.

I've been on the wagon for 30 days.

Your.

Condemn someone for using cheats in a videogame if it's that important to you, but to will them to commit suicide in real life is just disgusting. I suggest you get a grip on life.

be smart: deal with the horrors of empire hauling by paying pubbies literally less than a cent's worth of isk per jump
