DoctorManhattan Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Tried logging into my main account last Wednesday after maintenance and it said the account has been locked due to suspicious activity. After emailing back and forth with the appeals team they are trying to tell me that my account has been detected using 3rd party software, which is total BS. I've been playing legit since server launch yet all these bots and adena spammers are running around no problem and I get banned for playing fair. I have a Nostromo which is a game pad that uses macros just like any other gaming mouse or keyboard does, that's the only thing I can think of that maybe they are considering 3rd party software. I've been using this Nostromo for years ever since original L2 in 2004 and have never had any issues. Very disappointing. So be careful if you have a keyboard or mouse that uses macros because they might ban you for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How NC find out about you beeing afk is another questions and a mystery to us, the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vassility Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 even worse; once you receive the mail that your account has been locked, you have to answer some questions. They dont read the answers, it took me 3 days or cursing and fowl language to get ym account re-opened. its just sad that everyone can ban someone who they dont like. i was afk out of town during lunch. ban hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinaInverse Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 No, everyone is banned for a reason. Don't bot / third party program = not banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimsby Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 To be honest for the most time I too thought that there is no unfair bans, that all the cryin on forums is just ppl who cheated tryin to soften NC devs up. And then, I got banned too. Exactly just like you. I run duo, main + box SE, thought i might need a prophet in the future so i started leveling one, dropped some mage stuff and adena on new toon, dragged my SE for recharge and within few hours was closing on 19sh level. Then I did one mistake of leaving my fresh toon on spawn spot, western region TI to be exact, left my SE in town cus of laziness and went shopping, when I came back my SE was still in TI and the client with new toon was closed. Thats weird I thought, guess its just crashed, but then i got the message that the account was blocked due to suspicious activity. WHAT suspicious activity?!! Seriously the toon was left on spawn spot the worst thing that could happen to it is to be killed by someone or something. The only thing that comes to my mind is that it must have been reported using bot button, the captcha popped up while I was away and there you go, a ban. Funny thing is I dont even know how the captcha looks like, I heard about it obviously, but since I only run main+ one box all the time I have never been reported I guess. Of course, I wrote to NC explaining what happened, that was few days ago, and ...nothing, no reply on my ticket, zero, null. So it looks like I lost some adena and 6h of my life, which is not that bad, if this happened on my main I would just quit. So yeh, clearly bot button abuse or some other faulty ban system malfunction, no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an autoban, you will get the account unlocked once you contact appeal@ncsoft.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that has something to do with it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissa Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I think that it could be the reason. If it really is, NCsoft will unblock your new account after you contact them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
