Woke up to an awesome mail from GGG.

My account is being unlocked under the proviso that i give my word i wont pull shit like this again.The amount of reports I generated for support whilst running the scheme were I quote "overwhelming" Hence the lock (not ban) whilst they investigated into them.

I totally respect GGGs decisions and rules and look forward to being back in wraeclast with all you exiles again.

As to where exactly this leaves us in terms of whats allowed and what isn't let me spell it out to you guys from personal experience.

Being a dick may or may not result in loosing access to your account - if you love POE best not try it ey.This doesn't seem very transparent to me but i'm happy to comply either way.

Thanks for all the adults in the room for having a decent conversation about this,thanks for all the whiteknight opinions for voicing the other side of the argument and thanks obviously to the GGG support team for coming to what i believe is a fair and just decision.


TLDR : Scamming people isn't worth the hassle of getting locked out for a week/risking loosing your account all together.Dont expect futher clarification from GGG regarding set rules as there are none.Case by case basis it would seem.
Thats good, TBH you shouldnt of even gotten locked in the first place.

Its honestly very irritating seeing GGG going back on previous stances and as many people have mentioned before, plenty of well known scammers had never had anything like this happen to them.

Soo much for Wraeclast being a harsh environment if they decide to start doing this more often.

I said this before in a previous thread about scamming but, one is only as clever as someone else is gullible. Its not GGGs responsibility, nor should it be, to baby sit people who get scammed.

Being a total dick to others has repercussions. Good on GGG.

I guess the line is drawn when they start getting too many reports.

Even badguys need their beauty sleep :)

So much salty whiteknighting just a PSA It's a game gents.


Like u never went Whiteknighting once in your life, you are so typical like all THOSE for call for WK when they are getting desperate ...
Making thread to get cocky with people about scam, rules and baiting for trolls, then teach people it is just a game "gents" while childish as fuck since 30 pages, epic guy. Gosh so much toxicity in only 1 person.
At least scam doesn't add skill nor intelligence to such player who needs to act like this to exist in a game, or wait, to exist at all in fact.

Also those who are wanting me banhammered


U called for them, since when your account is locked your life is stuck here and can't do anything else, tells a lot ... 30 pages almost ... megalomania is real, and from a poor geek who uses his anonymity to indulge in his little thug's behaviors he can't have IRL because of his cowardice
This topic is only to provoke people, still not locked for some reasons, as it could have been very well discussed in private between the player concerned and support, you'd rather bait people since u were getting bored because no account available in game, sad ... I still dunno why this is not closed yet, since u bring nothing with this large amount of bs.
Pas ici pour rendre service ;).
Un jeu avec autant de qualités que de défauts, malheureusement ignorés et soutenus par une marée de supporters nolifes sans aucune objectivité.

The reason I speculate as to why the thread hasn't been closed is that the concerns were legit,well presented and we managed to avoid shitposting throughout the majority of it.(Almost)

I would have replied earlier but was busy rolling a new build - you sound very salty about the whole issue.It has been dealt with excellently by support IMHO and we can all walk away wiser.

If you feel this thread was BS and just bait i may suggest you go read or post on another.

Grinding calls see ya in global :)

The funny thing is just like I said before, apparently it's ok to scam "a little" but not ok to scam "too much".

All the naysayers saying this can never be the case, think again. The un-deserving OP getting his account back is a perfect example.

Also the OP getting his account back also proves one thing...


It's totally fine to scam all the suckers bads and noobs in PoE. This game is designed to go hand in hand with scams and dirty deeds. Remember, just don't too it too much. So scam a few of them losers today wait for a day and go get more them suckers, and you will be ok.



Or you could just not scam people even if it's permitted, hell, even if it's encouraged to do so.

Have some morals. A game it may be, but you're dealing with real people. You wouldn't steal someone's phone or wallet in real life, right? So show that same respect in-game, it goes a long way.

EvE is a different game.
In Ultima Online you could at least pay some guys to hunt the scammer down, take all his stuff and cut his corpse to pieces, steal the key to his house and take the rest of his stuff. That was fair game.

Stealing here is just a cowardly act, since the of so well-acted badguy-role is safe from any wrath of his victims.

Well, at least we learned something about your RL-personality.
Does not seem like you learned anything good from this.

I was about to say, that if GGG locks you permanently, I'm going to start my own campaign, which may, or may not involve some creative investment. :P

GGG was smart about it. Altho, I don't know why GGG would need you to give them a word... it is their problem, that they are getting so many reports. Not yours. They set themselves such rules, so they either keep to them and deal with reports, or change them. If you aren't following your own rules, you shouldn't be expecting other people to. Just saying.

Again, I don't like what you were doing, and I'd probably get mad if I get scammed. Thing is, I would never go for such a deal. And this is what everyone should do, instead of grabbing their pitchforks, and trying to offend you.

And who the fuck are you, again?
Oh, yeah, dude who is sitting on the very same forum, reading 29 page long thread about pixels in computer game.
Look in the mirror, Sir.

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.
