I hope I get banned this year

Post by zedisdeadbaby » Thu Jan 08, 2004 9:00 am

I even thought it would finally happen when I was killing static spawns (on a macro) a couple weeks back. I was alone in the zone, then a GM comes into the zone. This was on a server where you almost never see GMs online at all.

I was so excited, I thought my account was finally going to be gone and I could reenter the real world. But the GM just watched my toon kill static spawns for a few mins (I didnt stop the macro), then he left!

I can't believe it, I have a feeling they know that I macro but just let me be because they want their $.

I can't believe the hundreds of hours I've invested in this game and I'm so ashamed to say I've played EQ since 2002. Please SOE, release me from your world. :(

Bah, n00b! I've played since 1999, of course I took a 6 month vacation from EQ last year, and I'm still somewhat ambivalent about it.

I doubt they'd take it seriously, they'd assume it was a joke. I've petitioned before while MQ loaded and nothing ever happened.

:cry:

I'm now indifferent to getting banned. If it happens, I'll be happy in a way as I can spend more time working on productive things, but if I don't get my accounts banned I'll continue to play.

SOE used to get 10 subscriptions out of me...I'm down to 4 accounts at the moment as I don't enjoy EQ as much as I used to...

If they ban one of my main accounts, I'll cancel the others. I use MQ and offset hack on all my accounts but am not an idiot about it so I probably won't ever get caught....but if I do, it won't bother me in the least.

Release us from the EQ Crack Ho please. Save me the money and or atleast make it a tax write off (Sony's Charity of the Insane).

They will never ban everyone for the 3rd party products since it's all about the $$$ to them. So since they are making the $$$ atleast they could make a better product to make us want it more, I guess they din't go to the School of Crack Sellers.

That's really amazing, I can imagine the kind if things you could do with 10 perfectly disciplined (macroed) raiders.

I tried two boxing with a free trial account, but even with one macroed it was just too hardcore for me.

Wow you must be married to that lottery winner in Ohio. There is no way I could afford 10 accounts much less the computers to run them on! :shock:

Heh. I was chatting with a xylo guildmate and mentioned this same thing -- what's the worst that can happen to me, I get a life back? :)

GMs will not ban for unattended macro'ing. I have firsthand experience with this on multiple occasions.

I gave up trying to punish the AFK macro'ers once I saw the GMs flat-out refuse to take any action whatsoever against people doing it.

I felt like it was ruining the purity, the sanctity of a game I really loved. Guess I was wrong.

Grats me on 15 levels, 250 AA, and over 300k in looted gems while not at the keyboard.
