16,000 banned from Aion in the West News
MMO PC News by Oli Welsh
NCsoft has executed a lightning raid on Aion servers and banned 16,000 accounts from the MMO in North America and Europe.
The targets of the bans were users of "bots" (automation software commonly used for power-levelling or gold farming), spammers, and people who'd bought or sold gold in the game. According to community manager Andrew Beegle, evidence for the bans was gathered over several weeks.
"We are taking a very hard stance on this issue," he said. An appeal process is in place for players who believe they've been wrongfully banned, but Beegle reminded them that "it is not what 'you' have done on your account, but what the account has done. If your account is shared, purchased, borrowed, or power leveled, it could be the actions of anyone who's ever used the account."

Good to know. What was too annoying in WoW before i quit was the freaking goldspammers. And yet everyone was bitching about them and still buying gold from websites. Wtf is the point? Easier lvling, easier farming and buying your gold. Wtf do you play then? Change the freaking sport if you cant do anything yourself o.O

"NCsoft has executed a lightning raid on Aion servers and banned 16,000 accounts from the MMO in North America and Europe. "
so about 3/4 of the games population then? :) I stopped playing due to the bot/seller infestation and the deaf ears of the Aion Developers when it came to user feedback. better late than never I guess. I've gone back to wow since. |
