You sound like someone who has been scammed. I guess if fools fly, we would live an eternal night...


You probably deserve to be with him lol

interesting posts and interesting replies lol.

OP do keep us posted on hows the replies from GGG, would be good to know what is their stance against scammers, and hope they'll actually spell it out explicitly next time.

just wondering are u that guy who posted in reddit, scamming victims with lightning coil 6s5l 20% quality?


I wasn't the OP of that thread on reddit but yes it was regarding my scam.

Still not a reply from support either yet.

You never gave the TL;DR, so I'll sum it up for you.

I'm account locked and have recieved 1 email in 72hours from support.My OP was voicing my frustration in regards to the issue.Im not banned,Im lockedout and for reasons no one will confirm.
I'm not after a sympathetic ear (although there have been ) I was hoping this may spur some sort of communication between support and myself.


Perhaps they find your frustration amusing? Fitting, perhaps? Surely those you scammed were never frustrated about it, right? And surely Support was able to fix everything for them too.

You could try, for all our sake, a time-honored tradition known by the ancestors as "getting bent."

Explain us, why? I rarely trade, I'm self-found in a 99%...
If you are mad for no reasons is your problem. If you were scammed is your problem too... In a long time that you do not stop to show a completely childish attitude.
Bethesda is known for having good ideas and terrible realization of them. GGG is a Bethesda subsidiary or what?

Mah internet feels dude.
Lets try and keep the shit posting to a minimum ey?

I have been scammed before. I don't blame anyone except myself for being scammed, I was an idiot. Lost a Soul Taker back in the day when it was damn expensive.

To me, it seems that GGG's policy is that small infrequent scamming is fine and they don't bother to correct.

Somehow certain scamming like Bandit PK'ing used to be a big issue as well, but was tolerated.

However once you go large scale scamming, and messing with a lot of people's money - that's when the knives come out. And GGG has no choice to intervene. Scamming for an entire day?

In my case, the guy who scammed my Soul Taker had been scamming for months. Only once all of us got organized and started demanding GGG to ban him did he finally get banned.

Did he deserve to get banned? Not really because we were all idiots for allowing ourselves to get scammed. He got banned I guess because it started becoming a big issue which can make the game toxic.

Once you reached Reddit-level man it was game over.

Thanks for your toughts.Do you have any proof of this guy being banned?Like forum posts etc that would be great.

Oh yeah? Which guy what this?

GGG internal policy isn't to share any info regarding bans to other players anyways so I'm assuming that you have evidence of some sort?

Thanks.


Also months and 7hours is a rather large difference.

Saying "It's your fault that you been scammed" and "We cannot help your case" is completely different thing.
Same goes to the ToS. Is there any clear indication about scamming being allowed in PoE ? I haven't seen any.

To OP
You maybe scammed because you can or being defiant through your experiences but I don't think GGG lock someone's account because they can.

Hope you finding your answer here.
Everything I do should be wrong so please correct me if I do it right <3

Wut?
He had been scamming for months (i.e. maybe one item from 1 or 2 people every week), but these were usually very nice items (i..e Soul Taker, high-end daggers, Aegis, BofR) - this may seem like trash but back in the day these were very expensive items in high-demand.

I don't have proof that you are asking for like a GGG explanation that he was banned.

In fact, I didn't expect anything to happen to him because I knew I was just an idiot for being scammed in the first place.

However, one day I went on forums and saw his account had the "banned" tag.

Again, this is not a new issue and is tolerated to some extent. I've also been scammed on map rotations, and zana rotations but this is not a big deal as supposed to losing a lot of currency / nice items.

Once you start pissing off too many people, especially with currency, it gets next level.
