Is it illegal to issue a chargeback on gems I bought or does it just give arena net the right to ban my account? I'm not supporting this ****ing ******** or investing my time to get banned for their massive **** up.
What an absolute shambles arenanet are turning out to be.
If you do do a chargeback there is a good chance Anet will ban the account, however you can appeal that and goto binding arbitration (I believe).
I assume this is in reference to the Norn 'Tier 2', 21 Karma per weapon items, that some people brought lots of.
It's always difficult to tread the route through the minefield of customer relations, and I don't envy Anet that task.
But they have said if you disagree with the ban, you can publically post on Reddit, your char name and they can find out the actual number of times that that char brought an 'exploited' weapon.
Ensuring the best possible play experience for our fans is our highest priority. We’ve said before that we would be willing to temporarily disable first-party digital sales if we felt our high player concurrency may compromise player experiences. We have now reached that point.
Effective immediately we have disabled sales via buy.guildwars2.com. To be clear, box and digital sales are still available via our retail partners. We are tracking our concurrency closely while expanding our infrastructure. We’ll re-enable first-party digital sales as soon as we feel that we can do so safely. ~RB2
Lol at the bannings, really nasty move on arenanet's part. I'm not banned myself but I've really lost respect for them.
Purdy, chargeback the gems, and chargeback the game itself if you bought it directly from them![]()
The banning is justified. People were buying 100s, 1000s of the item.
Taking a hardline approach on suspensions/banning makes people think twice in future.
Were they ****. Also letting Kripp know he was banned via posting on reddit, pretty sure that goes down well in the privacy agreement. Amateur company
Someone bought 2,167.
If they are amateurs I hope they stay that way. Transparent and clearly outlining why people were banned when they post on public forums claiming their innocence or pushing lies. Never seen a company so swiftly deal with exploiter scum which, as far as I am concerned, is pretty damn impressive.

Most counts bought 100s.

The only person who is butthurt is you for not getting away with exploiting. Seriously, what did you think would happen? Are you new to MMOs? You exploit - Your account goes bye-bye - Forever.
Yeah, it does.
I've also seen people permanently banned for less.
