Purchasing LC Gold from spammers
Jun 13 2009, 7:40 AM EDT | Post edited: Jun 13 2009, 7:40 AM EDT
Well, guess who got banned? That's right! Me. I got pulled into the buying gold deal by one of those scammers, specifically gamcc.com. (In case u want to know, the character that delivered it was "Comedalies" on Hatzring2. If you can ban us, why can't you ban this character? She shows up all the time. If you can summon us to ban us, why can't you set up your own scam to have them deliver gold to you, and ban them permanently as well? You could permanently ban THEM. Does it not seem more logical to put more effort into stopping the scammers Instead of punishing the players for what they did not know? At least have the decency to give the player a verbal warning before banning them. Does it not make sense to redesign the box possibly so that only registered online players can type in it? This character "Comedalies" has to be registered with LastChaos. An account HAD to have been created. How about keeping the chat part, eliminate the section the spammers are using and the GM's can do their "shouting", etc. where they normally do, on the top of the screen. I'm not a software engineer by any means, but like I said, if you can ban us, you can ban them, IF you really wanted to. Do you find this valuable?

Ok, to get the record straight, this site has NOTHING to do with Aeria. This is a hobby for me. I have no connections or dealings with Aeria personnel who run the game.

Now, what you can do, is send this message to Aeria. Create another account then to to LC homepage, then go to the complaint section and let them know, what you just told me. Yea, believe it or not, once you really learn how to play, I figured I actually can make more money then what the gold scammers are selling for. But the problem is, do you have the time to shop and sell. I just love to do that as that is fun.

Anyway, let Aeria know the info. I know you are not the first one to be banned and probably did not know it was bannable. If you read the rules, Aeria can ban you and NOT give you a reason too, if you read the fine print. In my intro, I will change it, but add about NOT BUYING GOLD and NOT to give out password to the GM scammers. I have had some others complain about getting banned, but what really sucks is that a few of them probably would not have bought the gold, if they had know it was bannable.

Let me know later what Aeria tells you,

I am aware that you are not associated with them, and I thank you for your time and effort in helping me resolve this. I've already spent so much money in ap, I hate to lose it. I completely understand why they do what they do, and it is totally justified.The first character that summoned me within the game said that they were only going to ban me for the day. Then I got an email from Aeria telling me that the account was permanently banned. I just wish that they would give some kind of warning before they take such a radical step. Do you find this valuable?

Yea, I have had a few people pm me. One guy said he happened to get the email when it came online and he had something like 30 minutes to change over stuff to another account. He had his guildies help me though. Then he got his ap and then gifted out stuff to the GM. But he said he only had like 1000 ap or so.

Yea, that sucks on what they do to you, i totally agree. They should ban you of course for breaking the rules, but problem is you have to know you were breaking them first. Also, if you ever read the fine print, Aeria can ban you cuz they GM don't like the way you look either. They put this catch 22 clause in there to cover their rear end if they ever screw up.l The only ones i know that got unbanned were if you were buddy, buddy with a GS now. Yea, there is favortism in this game now, but of course Aeria will deny it. I have seen it too many times by what people say.

Well at least you know better know if that is any comfort. As for me, I FORGOT to put that in my introduction to the new people coming in. Well off to try to redo my intro again now. Hopefully, it might help someone else not to get in trouble and get banned. Do you find this valuable?
