I wanna play this game for years to come, and being falsely accused of hacking/exploiting really ruins it for me.

If you've spent money and they wont unban you, just roll a chargeback as a big "fuck you".

Let us know how you get on.

I really appreciate it, and agree with 100%. Evidence to the accused would help decide better on an appeal more than anything. One of the CRS even said.. you might have to put in more than one appeal, til they decide to really look into your case, which I can't now. I'm MAC banned as well. I like they do that now, but no to me lol. He said they basically sit down and "look through each case" but I highly doubt that, there must be hundreds.

I'm calling again tomorrow. Gonna try to talk to someone in charge and find out EXACTLY what happened.

I would do that, but I would rather be unbanned, and still have all my stuff, you know? If things go down hill more than anything, I will ask for a charge back, ask them to delete the account, and let my friend play. I feel they are punishing us for nothing.

So, you logged off your main account.
Created an alt to go on a server to just "ask" about hacks...

I have been a Vet long enough to see even long time respected players turn out to be cheaters so I have to say I dont really buy that "asking about".

If you where just asking it makes no sense you wouldnt just create another character on the same server to to check.

The only logical reason you in my mind would create another account is because you where testing the hacks. Aka hacking and where instanty detected with a 100% sure trace since you used some noob tool that SOE have clear detection for. Why else would they auto ban you... Software banned you, thats why.

------------

Come clean, repent and ask for forgiveness is your only chance.
Trying to BS Smedly or SOE wont get you a second chance.

------------

If SOE in some way confirm you are innocent, then fine. I will take my words back, but until then "I am too old for this shit!".

I had 3 characters on my main that are past BR 20, with station cash bought items. I don't wanna delete them. Each are on different servers. I created the alt account to go ask, and to also have character on there to play for the event friday on Connery.

I respect your opinion and agree with what you're saying. Yes some people test the hacks, and get caught, but that's not the situation here. I just got banned for unknown reasons.

I'm repenting and coming clean, and I want a second chance.

Not saying one way or the other in your case

But..

I know I have accidentally reported (for all I know) innocent players because I spelled the name of a blatant cheater wrong.

Why we can't copy/paste text off the chat window is beyond me.

Yeah, that's definitely a problem with the reporting system, but either way it doesn't really work at all. It does in fact give the GM a person to look at if they are reported multiple times, but if no GMs are on at the time, they'll never get noticed. I saw a hacker stay in the warpgate for close to maybe 3 hours, before being removed; and he was blatantly hacking. Turrets flying around etc.

That's what prompted me to get on my alt account to see if the other warpgates were being effected as well.

I would actual like to continue playing it. I enjoy the game. Yes, it has some major flaws, but no other game give me fun sniper gameplay. Tank mining sunderers was my thing as an engineer. I loved hunting them down, doing V6 and watching the kill roll in.

We've had a member of WMBA get banned for running his hardware optimization programs (the ones that comes from the factory).

DirtyBird · 2013-01-23, 08:27 AM

You've done well to have this thread last so long.

That said, email John Smedley here, [email protected], if you actually are innocent. Don't email him if you did hack; One must "man up" some time.

With that attitude I hope you're next.

I had a friend who was told that an entire outfit was going to report him for "shooting through walls", when he was simply spamming crappy Lightning HE rounds. Such is the abuse of the /report function.

Well, with no proof from either parts in the matter its hard to make a judgement in the matter.

But the reason I'm posting isn't to say that but to say this.

There are hacks for PS2 out there that allegedly have the power to ban players. Considering the CSR guys couldn't figure out to why you haven't gotten an email this could be why. I remember seeing a youtube clip here on PSU or PS2 forum where a guy was showing of a hack and it had a ban button on it.. Hopefully this is not the case but i wouldn't be surprised considering how "professional" some of the hacks being used are.

Thank you Punkbuster.

We told em this would happen.

What were your character names and on what server?
You said you had three that were BR20+ and then you made Warpgatechecker on a separate account?
No offense, but sounds really fishy right there. You also have two others who play on the same IP, what are their character names? Since it was a hardware/IP ban, how do you know they were not the ones banned and why did you assume you were the one banned and not them?

Please review the forum rules:

http://www.planetside-universe.com/f...aq_forum_rules

Do not discuss bans put in place by SOE. These are customer service issues and should be discussed with SOE Customer Support
Do not accuse specific players of cheating. This is a customer service issue and should be dealt with in game (with /report) or via SOE Customer Support.

Creating a thread of this nature accomplishes absolutely nothing. This is an issue between the OP and SOE Customer Support.
