Getting banned for herbing

[Simonich]

So I was herbing in alliance territory, elwynn forest. Some low lvl plants and they seemed to respawn.

I took advantage of it for awhile but come on the herbs were worth like 3 silver each on AH and I got just a stack, did I really deserve a permaban since I wouldn't gain not even 1 gold and now I basically lost my character from this.

This is unacceptable, and by the way what I said before this very sentence is a joke. On a more serious note,
you guys should of tested on ptr before applying or something as you know any mess ups would risk to fuck up the economy, and its very certain that plenty would of get banned after it, inevitably. Just be more careful and sure next time ^^ so people don't get the chance to get banned.

Phew, for a second I thought you were indeed exploiting too.

Yes, God know why this was not tested / found on the PTR before now - it should have be pretty easy to test.

To be fair, it was fine for a few days. Somewhere the code went spaghetti (see: Riot Games), and required fixing. Doesn't mean people have the right to abuse it though.

Oh man! That was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. GG, Simonich. G effing G.

I believe it was on the 21st that this patch went live? Only recently did the bug come up. And then people found out and went at it without thought. Now we are drowning in all of the tears.

Ya...although your reasoning is solid, if it was fine for several days on high pop realm, I doubt anything would have shown up in test realm.


....also, stop toying with my emotions ha.

oh man i got my hopes up

Whenever I go, I make many supporters but also many haters.

Although I don't do something that affects the ones who hate on me, they still start shittalking, probably they want to stop whatever advances greatly, those people are almost always obnoxious characters too...

Frankly the amount of goyim CHEERING for banning people for something the developers are at fault for is disturbing me, it feels like andoah shoah in here with all the cheering over people being banned for a developer oversight

Because majority are chinese, the more of them that get banned the better the server is as a whole.

Also abusing bugs on these types of private severs is very easy with minimal staff, so enforcing hard bans on any major economy breaking bugs is needed to deter people from finding new ones.
