Have we heard of these people from decently reliable sources?? Or did some people get suspended for a few days and people are saying they were banned??

I meant temp ban.

Ah, ok.

People who go to official forums for the express purpose of whining serve NO purpose at all.

They don't even help people on the fence about buying the game or not. A game could be flawlessly perfect, but just not to the taste of someone...it is easy to make a this-game-is-total-shit thread that distorts facts, presents opinions as facts, and all manner of bullshit. People read it, and not knowing any better, believe it, and don't buy a game that they could easily have loved. What point is served by that?

Nobody has been banned from PS for forum posts. At worst, some people have had their accounts suspended. It is always worst to misbehave at the beginning because you are holding up a sign that says "MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF ME PLEASE". The Devs have simply obliged. Once again: Darwinism at work. I have no sympathy of any kind for you.

Don't member Nav, all i know is i've heard of quite a few people being banned from the game for something they said on forums. Now granted i'm sure some of those were idiots and/or jerks but when you post a question about XP and get banned with no warning that IMO is just being a nazi mod.

And i know it's sony's rules, never said anything else, just saying that i think they are too strict and it's just 1 of many reasons why i'm gonna try to stay away from futur games by them.

Thats incredibly gay. That's also why I barely ever use official forums for everything except tech support.

Look, as far as I know the people that got banned from the game where using the exp exploit and it just so happens they where stupid enough to post on the forums in reference to it causing them to be investigated. If Sony banned someone for using an exploit (*cough* Hand of God *cough*) and/or posting info about the exploit on the forums the GOOD FOR SONY.

In other words, FUCK THE CHEATERS GO SOE!!!!!!

shouldent b banned bcoz of sayin that the new XP system sux.
I dont think whining ppl have much effect on the ppl who read it.
Unless theres many ppl whining about the game suck, then the readers might not buy the game.
And when many ppl whine, the game is prolly not good so the ppl who read the whining wont buy it so the whiners have done the readers a favor.

I heard the same as what Eyyeball said. At least get your story straight before you go whinging about people that aren't you getting banned.

I'm all for them being banned...they cheated/exploited, were caught, got banned. I haven't seen or heard of anyone that got banned because they complained about the XP.

Well he checked and sure enough the 3rd CD was scracthed, the 2nd set he took out also had a damaged 3rd CD. So make sure you check those CDs before leaving the store guys.

You were right I went to Sam Goodie to buy the game and told them about the possible damage to the CD's. They went through 3 game boxes before they found an undamaged one.

Thanks for the heads up.
