Archeage banned me from Forums. See why lol!

BuddhafettBuddhafett Member Posts: 14
I quit Archeage because I just didn't like it. So I went to the forums to say my good buys. The title was "Quit Archeage and Goodbye". I explained why I quit and said nothing wrong. I just spoke my mind. I logged on today to see who replied and it said I was banned and that it would never be lifted. Well if I ever was going to go back this put the nail in the coffin. I took a screen shot of the message, but I seem not to be able to upload it here. This is how a game company treats paying customers for speaking their mind. Too bad I can't sell my character...oh well.

You can run all your life but, not go anywhere.

    I know that 'i am quitting topics' are usually not allowed on gaming forums and locked or deleted. But a permanent ban is a bit extreme no?

    We only have his version. Most people that get banned from this or that usually paint themselves as innocents in my experience.

    Making a revenge post here on MMORPG.com about it doesn't do much to convince me that he is being very representative of the whole truth.

     

    Anyhow, even if true, I guess he said his part in his goodbye... Why does he care that he was then banned? He was done with the game, right? Unless his intention was to hang around stinking up the community for weeks I guess.

    Hello, do you mind telling us your name on the official forum? You could also upload your picture to tinypic.com and link to it.

    I'm a gamer and I play games, not virtual vending machines.

    I read OP twice, still failing to see the "why" part.
  • farbegefarbege Member UncommonPosts: 305

    one of current internet meme says : "screenshot or it didn't happen."

    So you want us to believe a banned player ?  bring your evidence and convince us, a simple "i didn't do any wrong" wont get you far in real life btw too.

    If you're quitting/cancelling/leaving, why do you care what they do with your Forum Account?

    Try an image host? You see, it's hard to to take you serious if you pull this 'I have a screenshot as proof but I can't upload it here because of some mysterious reasons'.

    Damn, I took the troll bait already. Shame on me !

    Probably because not being able to keep his mouth shut cost him the ability to sell on the account I would guess.

    Probably cost him $100-$300.

    Wonder if he thought it was worth it.

    Trion doesnt like any more bad PR on their forums than theyve already had. With all due respect you should have expected to be banned, theyre not going to allow anything negative to be said about their game.

    To be fair . I remember you and all your posts on Rift forums couple of months in release.

    I think it is completely hypocritical of you to slam OP for his inability to keep his mouth shut. We have all been there. I remember reading so many 'why you are quitting / leaving' posts from you. To the point where they had to delete and gives you infractions.

    Like i said we have all done it so need to pretend you are better than him.

    Well now thats an interesting bit of information about Vesavius. Anyway, I have to admit, Im guilty of it too. However knowing ahead of time that it would probably be deleted, Im not sure I would have bothered.

    You have no idea buddy. You should have been on Rift official forums at release. 

    Fact is we have all done it. When people are unhappy they want everyone to know and they want to be heard. Happy people don't feel the same need.

    I don't condone what OP did but i won't insult or give him a  hard time for it. Because i know i have done it.

    Am I pretending that? Did I 'slam' him, or am I pretending to be well behaved all the time? Nope.

    Let us recap what I posted;

    "We only have his version. Most people that get banned from this or that usually paint themselves as innocents in my experience.

    Making a revenge post here on MMORPG.com about it doesn't do much to convince me that he is being very representative of the whole truth.

    Anyhow, even if true, I guess he said his part in his goodbye... Why does he care that he was then banned? He was done with the game, right? Unless his intention was to hang around stinking up the community for weeks I guess."

    and...

    "Probably because not being able to keep his mouth shut cost him the ability to sell on the account I would guess.

    Probably cost him $100-$300.

    Wonder if he thought it was worth it."

     

    I remember why I had you on block back in the day now Big... I forgot how you insisted on posting, your misrepresenting and twisting of the truth. Time to reinstate that I think. You slinging mud based on your particular brand of 'memories' isn't cool or worth my responding to past this.

    I've written a number of "I'm quitting" posts ( usually part of a consolidated thread though) and have never received a ban.  In fact, I've been pretty darn outspoken on most gaming forums if I feel strongly about something.   I always try to be respectful...both towards my fellow posters or the developer I may be giving feedback to.  If I wouldn't say it to your face, I won't say it.

     

    Not bashing you OP since I haven't seen what you wrote but here is a piece of advice I always tell my teenage daughter......"It is all about presentation."    She hasn't yet mastered asking for things nicely or constructive providing feedback if things aren't going her way.   Once she figures that out, life will get a lot better for her.   If folks gave their feed back in a constructive manner, I would suspect that their threads wouldn't be deleted, locked or receive a ban.  On the other hand, if you approach if with....."Trion, you suck donkeyparts, f-you," then expect a negative back lash.

     

    Good luck to you and sorry about your ban though.

    Watched Ignitar (streamer) try and login today but was banned. Guy always streams when he plays and never bots/hacks. They basically banned him for speaking negatively on the game. Shit game, shit company.

    Who cares..? The game is excellent and not for you..move on.

    I find it hilarious that you would try to log in to see "who replied" to your I quit thread..

  • HerzyHerzy Member UncommonPosts: 184
    I like it when a game gives you the opportunity to let them know why you're unsubscribing/quitting.
    If they don't then they *should* have a place on the forums where one can do so.
    If posting in a General section when they don't give you the chance to anywhere else then they should take it to heart and after that close the thread.
    If they outright ban you for this then this should raise all kinds of flags.
    Zero tolerance? Or the new TRION being their downright shitty selves?

    wait, the OP did nothing to proof his claim.

    he writes "see why" in the subject but then there is nothing to see in the post.

    What's even more hilarious is that ANYONE can read the forums, you don't even need to log in.  

    Doh!

    This really isn't the place to bring over matters from other forums/forum dramas. We take these case by case, and if there's some real topic of discussion other than "I got banned on the forums" there's a good chance we leave it. But this doesn't seem that way.
