Right, without getting into the details of how insane this is, let me stick to bullet point facts:
- if you let your account lapse (ghost training in my case) you can then use "plex for hours" to open the account and apply game time, in the form of a plex, because you can't apply a plex while the account isn't active. Previously you had to petition for it but this system works fine and makes sense. Abusing this system in order to move assets or whatever is frowned upon, and rightly so.
- if you have a month free game time to claim via the buddy system you can not used that if the account is closed for some reason. Might be a conscious decision but, given CCP's track record, there's a high probability that the web code monkeys haven't been able to synch or make it work yet. Either way, I have a valid way to extend my game time (buddy invite reward) but I can't make that work on a closed account. Logically, you'd then think to use plex for hours to get the account active and then apply the rewards to get the account fully running again.
- If you'd see my account history you'd notice the last few months me applying plex four hours (because that's the only way to make this happen), immediately followed by applying my month reward. The account is active and used (except for 3 days a month) and nothing silly is going on. Yet for some reason my account is now blocked because "I'm abusing the system"
It seems that some of the VALID ways to extending game time are seen as second rate because they're good enough to keep an account rolling but not good enough to actually restart it. Done on purpose? Oversight? |

I would like to thank the GM for finally handing me the last straw, I've been trying to quit since 2009 but kept clinging on. No drama, no tears. I'd like to thank everyone, both friendlies as hostiles and, damnit, even Goons for trying to make the best of this ****** game.
8 years, it was a good run.

So basically, you were intentionally wringing 3 days of unpaid training time out of the system on a monthly basis, and now you're upset because after doing this for several months, someone noticed?

TLDR
All I saw was guy exploits the system, gets caught, Cries and Quits
meh no loss, I don't care if you've been in the game for 10 years, you were abusing the system, and getting free play time a few times.
Tough luck buddy, pay to play like the majority of people do, don't just exploit the hours for plex system which is only designed so you can apply a plex to your account to carry on playing.
Your selfish actions will no doubt cause CCP to think about introducing measures to stop this kind of abuse.
So don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out, cheaters won't be missed. |

Sad to see you go my friend,but in same time happy that you will have more free time and found way to quite EVE after so much time.Now you can put to rest army of your alts .
About ban it is just lol .Why the hell they allowed 3 day of ghost training if you cant use it?But hey it is more easy this way I guess,you blame player for using something that is given for them.
Anyway talking about that will not change any.See you around man and I best wishes irl.
Thanks to all help you gave to new players,and all tutorials that made our life more easy.

Part of me is sad to see you leave. Learned a lot from your post and fellow Dutchies are always nice to meet.
Though the "Hours-4-PLEX" is quite clear in their intentions to be a one time offer to resub. Abuse should be punished..
May you future journey be filled with fun.
And ti be honost, I have considered quiting quite often due to CCP screw ups but the community keeps me here.
When a WoW player leaves to return to WoW, the avg. IQ of both games rises.
Request to CCP: Please patch stupidity out of the game for Winter 2013.
