I went over the top and salvaged like 100 weapons (2000 Karma worth), which really was nothing compared to the thousands some people did but still pretty excessive. But overall I'm not too bummed out by this, I wasn't having as much fun as I expected with Guild Wars 2, so I'll probably give this game a pass if my ban stays Saddest part about all of this was that I'm only level30, I couldn't even use the materials I salvaged nor equip the weapons I bought for another 10 levels  | ||

I get where Arenanet is coming from, in that regard. It is probably better in their eyes to ban the 4k odd people and stop these items from getting out there than deal with a raped economy for everyone within the server. In my case though I salvaged everything by 1 of each weapon (I was gonna use them when I got to level60), so maybe I might have a chance of getting unbanned. I have a feeling if I get roll-backed that I would probably stop playing anyway though | ||

Twitter from Arenanet said that the magic number is around 50-100. At that number you can actually make some rather massive gains while screwing the econ of the server. Most likely yet another reason mail is down. While I understand that I am sure some people didn't mean to do so and or they had no real intention of just screwing over anyone it still looks bad when you buy that much. Best I can tell you is appeal and hope for the best. On one hand I feel people caught by accident had to of known this was bad(I remember an old WoW TBC exploit of free t3 vendor also punished) but I also don't like some friends I know being banned even if what they did was to be blunt stupid. | ||

Yeah I see where Arenanet is coming from and I don't fault them at all. But since I did salvage virtually everything, hopefully they might be able to review my case a bit different. My ticket has been submitted, Fingers crossed | ||

Still wish I had picked up a couple, now that I'm hearing they're only banning for large amounts. xD | ||

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/z3qqm/guild_wars_2_status_thursday_august_30/ Update on the bans. Krip's account has apparently been perma-banned. Looks like AN went down hard on this exploit. He first received a 72hr account suspension, when appeals were made that he SHOWED the world the exploit without informing AN, his suspension became a perma-ban. I feel this set a good precedent though. For those people who says perma-ban is too harsh, i beg to differ. Exploits like this ruins games. With this heavy handed punishment, you can be sure that its a good warning for the future, that any exploits that were abused WILL be dealt with. This should deter people from abusing the exploits and spoiling others good clean fun. Yes they can just 72hr-ban + rollback, but its not a deterrant. This perma-ban is a deterrant. I mean who would stop abusing exploits if u know all you get the most is just a ban and a rollback. This perma-ban is great. | ||

I'm fairly sure buying items with karma and turning into gold was intended in the game design. if they happen to overlook a loophole in the system thats the fucken penalty for having 2 types of in game economy. I think why people would even support AN on this decision is because their jealous that their not in on that exploit or scared of people exploiting becasue their not smart enough themselves to think of ways to exploit. =.= kinda ina way like the 99% bitches at the 1% for the economy issues except in the case this is an even playing field and is as fair as it can be. ( im neither one of those people exploiting nor the ones banned. but im just suprised people are actually supporting a company whos treating your terms of agreement like a piece of trash because of their poor game design) First of all, i like how your attacking people for not having the same opinion as you. Secondly, i also love how much entitlement you feel. Listen. The game you bought? You didnt buy the "GAME", you boughts its license. The license to play according to the rules decided by the company who made the game. Guess who made the game and has the last say anyway? You who didnt even read the TOS before clicking "I agree" do not have the right to call out AN over this. Thirdly, attacking people's motives for supporting the banhammer? Great move. I like how you call people like me "jealous/not smart enough" to do an exploit. Guess what? I guess im smart enough not to get banned unlike all the "smart" exploiters out there. Last point i want to make is that if you think their not glitching the game, think again. Look at Diablo3. Starting out the exploits were plenty, from goblin farming to chest farming to Force Armor exploits etc. Do you think the exploits didnt ruin the game? I can tell you it did. It only benefited those who exploited, and weren't punished for it. I am actually happy AN isn't following the path of Blizzard on how they ruined D3 trading. This is needed and essential. | ||

Hahahaha. That was actually hilarious. Jealous of not being in on the exploit? It was posted everywhere on the internet. Most people don't want to think of ways to exploit a game like this, so very few people try. Buying hundreds or thousands of an under priced item that in turn will make the exploiter very rich (Assuming they sell the items) and in turn ruin the economy of the game in it's infancy.. you really think that's intended in the game design? Most people were smart enough to realise that this is exploiting a mistake by ANet, and it wouldn't end up well for them. Perma bans are -perhaps- a bit too harsh, but I have a feeling they'll tone down a lot of those. | ||
