just take the gold and give us another chance

[boscher 0]

can this be a suspension?

[Nelythia 44]

No.

 

Buying gold = permanent ban.

[Dhorien 0]

Gold is not THAT hard to come by. I understand if you are a casual gamer, so am I. However, if you try to get it, you will. Thats just my two cents though

[boscher 0]

it should be a warning for all

 

nobody thought they were being too crazy

[artan 14]

gold sellers are a plague , the players that buy it are the fuel.

Those people running the gold selling websites are effectively ruining the game for everyone else in more ways than one. I completely agree that it should be a no tolerance issue.

[Nelythia 44]

Its common knowledge that buying gold is a permanent ban on Nostalrius/Elysium.

 

If you haven't bothered to read the ToU then its your fault.

No rights at all to complain about your ban.

[boscher 0]

my recommendation is that its a suspension since there hasnt been any notable ban waves to date

 

that i can recall.. it's just such a long time invested- I mean I'm almost 44, and have social things going on.. it's kind of a bit much to lose my char today

but im sure whoever was caught buying gold, is very sorry and that it wont happen again

[Greenkarma 1]

Gold farming ,earning are one of the big parts what I like about vanilla.

Why to ruin it? Pfff

i'm 22 lvl... 20g in my pocket.

L2P

Buy gold - perma ban 

NO excuses

[Nelythia 44]

The only thing you can do is starting over with a new account.

They won't unban you.

 

Also, there have been more banwaves like that. Even on Elysium.

@Owondyah nice, i logged off with the same gold as you

im not the one theyre after..

but i hope you let me play my char because my guild needs me

obvi they're gonna say leave it perma,
wasn't expecting legit players to come in here and defend ppl banned
for allegedly buying gold

like i said, don't think the people who bought it, were thinking much of it at the time
vs.
the time they spent getting to ~44

suspend them, dont kill them

I'm pretty sure that most of the players who pay for gold, would also pay for cheats. I don't think any game needs players with that kind of mindset.

Besides, the damage is done already - you gave real money to some scumbag. The in-game gold doesn't even matter that much.

Haven't you thought about where that gold you bought came from? You, sir, is personally responsible for other people's account has been hacked. And yet you ask for another chance?

 

[boscher 0]

Well, they should use dif passwords, or enable 2FA.

[coreypw7 0]

that exact kind of defense is the same you hear from rapist apologists, trying to defend the scumbags doing the raping or trying to blame to victim for getting raped so the attacker doesn't receive the consequences they deserve. I realize rape is much more serious offense, obviously, however the argument you are trying to make it the exact same as that I've just described.

In complete agreement - they fuck the game up in SO many ways..

HOWEVER - right now, The Elysium Crew is BEGGING for people to buy gold.   I know they lowered farming loot/coins, with the intend of making it harder for the gold farmers, to accumulate huge amounts of gold - BUT - they harm the casual players too.

I don't have 10 - 12 hours a day, to farm for gold.  I don't have the patience for it either.

But you try being a level 60 Holy/Disc specced Priest, and go out and farm for that Epic Mount.

I farm level 49 - 52 mobs, to have some sort of decent kill ratio vs. time consumed.   And I get a whole silver coin..    Yes, 1 silver pr. mob killed.

/sarcasm   That's fucking amazing.  Great job, Elysium.   /sarcasm off

I understand why some people feel the need to take the shortcut.   This is getting ridiculous.

I play once per week.

I make so much gold from raiding (we clear Ony+MC+BWL on a single day with no wipes) that I practically don't even need to farm at all.

I still make even more money from mooncloth.

Man, I really wonder where people like you would be in the world without their mothers. You'd be completely lost.

Ooooh, yes.   I completely forgot there are god-like people, like you.    That makes all other opinions pointless.  And we really shouldn't make any attempt of being heard.    So glad you just stopped by, to show your dwarven awesomeness again.

Thank you!

and you shouldn't buy gold. 

I get it OP, being banned sucks, and ofc you a lesser punishment. Just start an account and don't do the thing.

i feel sorry for those people should just be a suspension and all the gold taken off them caution then ban for something so small

No gold buyers means no gold sellers.

That means we need a zero tolerance on gold buying.

The added benefit would be a reduction in hacked accounts.

Keep it up Elysium you are doing a great job.

[Robroy 2]

Your wrong Holychampion.

On retail, the gold sellers on the servers I was on disappeared almost overnight when one of the Diablo games launched.

Gold sellers go where the buyers are.

[Robroy 2]

Holychampion,

You are blaming the wrong people.

I fthere were no gold buyers we wouldn't have this problem.

Blame the buyers if you are innocent which is possible but very unlikely.

[Robroy 2]

If you can't win an argument resort to insults.
