Well atleast the game is uninstalled, so tha will help me not to play it.
Not sure what I can do to get perma...
quit a long time ago. . Back then gm had to see the infraction live but it would take them 3 hours to get to you by that time it was all over. If someone was dumb enough to get caught you wouldn't see them for 1-2 weeks then they would be back. So a perma-ban for mouthing off lol I think you would have to work very hard to get to that point. If you re-install that could be your game within the game but I think with FC it would be years before you get to that perma-ban goal if ever. If you try...good luck.
Electronic Arts/Mythic/Broadsword Games, etc al.: (what ever happened to Origins????) God awful direction...CHECK (though at least they have some unique qualities)
Blizzard Entertainment: After they put monkeys in Deadmines and created a Kung Fu Panda expansion....God awful direction...CHECK (though gear score pretty much summed up the death of this for me)
Turbine Entertainment: What ever happened to faction pvp with at least a 2 faction copy clone? Arguably what should have been the greatest mmorpg of all time and...:God awful direction...CHECK
See a pattern? This is why I quit. The genre is dead, or E-SPort....your call.
I was excited about Camelot Unchained, and then I saw Bainshee throwing their heads at people. I was excited about Crowfall, and then I saw the Deer Rogue and the Gerbil whatever...sigh.
What a long wait for a grown up mmorpg with complex political factions (ala DAoC) and real world building. It's going to take a wealthy person with vision who gets to ignore the investors before something memorable that folks will talk about for years will occur.
Well, look at it on the bright side. Most of the companies on your list are almost bankrupt (e.g. Sony, Funcom)...

Ooh man, I feel your pain. I deleted dota 2 and asked steam to permanently remove the game from my account or ban me. They just didn't want to ban me so they said hat they would permanently remove the game from my account. Apparently what they meant by that is that it only doesn't show in my library but it still keeps all my progress and I can easily just click "Install" and boom I am back in the game.
The bad thing about having a 100 Mbps fast connection is that you can install 10gb in 5-10 minutes....

Getting banned is not something to be proud of. CSR or GM, they are just customer service reps and have NO POWER to do anything. Treating them badly is pointless. You aren't actually talking to anyone with power. They take the info, then send it up the line.
I'm a hotel manager. I'd like to explain some of the things I've seen at the front desk.
I once had someone try to leap the desk at an agent because they politely refused to give their money back during a special event sold out date to which they agreed to a 30 day non refundable cancellation.
I had a "guest" threaten to hit of my agents because our hallway bathroom was down and all the rooms were occupied so they couldn't use a dirty one.
We had one woman stay with us with her little boy. Her kid upended an entire bowl of jumbalya or gumbo onto the carpet and rub it in. It took housekeeping 3 hours to clean it. We refused to rent her a room again, and she started screaming about how we don't have the right to do that, and yelling "go ahead and touch me" so she could press assault charges (no one in our hotel is dumb enough to try to touch anyone for that exact reason) getting right up in my face with her belly touching mine screaming it. I told her to get out and finally picked up the phone to get the police over. The cops heard her screaming over the phone and were at the door in about a minute ready to arrest her. She told us that she had 8 brothers and was going to send them to the hotel to beat us up for not renting her a room and lying about her kid damaging the carpet.
I've seen agents in tears because of the way guests talk to them. Just last week, we received a call after hours from an agent crying at the desk. The guest went to the room, and it wasn't cleaned properly. Ok, I get it, the room should have been clean but the things we heard the guest saying to our agent over the phone over something that was totally not in her power.... lazy, useless b-word... is just the beginning. The hotel is small and the guest was at the desk screaming at the top of their lungs waking up the entire hotel because they wanted their money back. Our agent offered them their money back and to cancel the reservation but we can refund only by the method that the guest paid and the guest wanted cash back and said a refund wasn't good enough. We had to drive over an hour to get to the hotel because we weren't in town at the hotel. It got so bad over the phone that the guests were threatening to call the police. The police showed up and did absolutely nothing but stand there and watch, then left. The guests decided to sit there and wait and eventually stopped screaming while sitting there at the desk staring a hole through our agent and waiting for us to arrive. When we finally got there, they got a free room, when they should have been booted from the hotel (it wasn't my choice to allow them to stay).
Personally, I have gotten to the point where I won't tolerate abuse towards our staff unless the staff member really has done something truly horrible like display prejudice, call the guests, names, etc. To the point that I will get right up in the "guests" face about it.
There is never any reason to treat CSR's that way unless they are being directly insulting and abusive. They don't have the power to do anything.
This reminded me of an incident I had when I worked the desk of a Hotel in college.
Had a lady and her Kids that checked in late and wanted to go swimming. Pool closed at 10PM but I told them they were welcome to use the pool just to keep the noise down as people were trying to sleep.
So she takes her two brats to the pool, which is outside, and the kids wont get in the pool because there is a frog in the water. Not even a dead frog, but a small frog swimming around in the water.
She asked me to remove the frog from the pool. At this point it is almost 11pm, everything for the pool is locked up, and maintenance is gone home. She asks me if I could get in the pool and catch the frog so her kids can swim. Keep in mind I am wearing dress pants, button up shirt & tie lol. So naturally I refused and reminded her the pool was actually closed and perhaps they should wait until tomorrow.
She becomes irate about me not getting in the water and catching the frog. Complains to management the next day for which I get reprimanded for being mean to a guest.
Not really related to the topic but goes to show that no good deed goes unpunished.
That is so not right. If I had been your manager, that's not the way it would have gone down. Especially since most hotels now have cameras in those areas to prove the abuse. I'm tired of seeing agents get treated so badly. It's not right.
OT, I guess, but even so. The customer is NOT always right.
Which is why it bothers me so much when people lay into the low level employees. Or anyone for that matter. Hotels, restaurants, or even in games, there's no reason to act abusive. You catch more flies with honey and all that.
