They used a unique way of banning them also. They had a boss npc goto various zones and kill them Dhruum I believe it was and it also terminated their accounts. Players that were there to see it were in awe of the slayings in main cities of the game.

They level up with bots, or pay botters to level up for them, then the spend their time and not their money playing at a higher level than others do. People tend to want to be at the higher levels and not spend the time normally required to get there.

I can see why they do it as you can setup your bot goto school and be rich when you get home. But, for now the QQing is really much fun to read as you should see all the cries of the socalled innocent and I was only curious stuff. Of course the class action law suits and all the other bunk.

If you have any doubts about whether or not something is allowed by the User Agreement, don’t do it. Don’t take that risk. Account termination means losing not only everything you’ve built up in Guild Wars, but losing the ability to have those accomplishments recognized in Guild Wars 2. Let me give you a real example from today. Here’s an actual account we just terminated: 2,469 hours, 38 titles, 913 plat, 268 ecto, Eternal Legendary Vanquisher monument, Mini Gwen, Chaos Gloves, Mallyx’s Strife, The Holy Avenger, etc., etc. It’s all gone now. Forever. You will not want that to happen to your account.

This dude must be hating life right about now!

A friend of mine used to do tech support for Everquest. He tells me that their company along with Blizzard (WoW, Starcraft, Diablo) generally ALLOW the hackers/cheaters to simply take over their older sites simply because they only support their latest version-du-jour. I dont even bother reporting cheaters anymore since Blizzard would sooner shut the site down than bother countering hacks ( I really loathe that damned drop-hack).
