	I'm wondering about a couple people on Khyber I know. Haven't seen them in several days.

	Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

	They actually got a response to a ticket?

	I have alway got a response it might be weeks later or when it’s been resolved a day previously. But I do get ten. Also, I’m not banned and that is what matter most to me.

	The consensus seems to be that there was a "stealth" ban-wave, with a lot of people getting an "incorrect password" error and told "we're working on it" when they opened a ticket. The idea being to delay the inevitable backlash when long time honest players find out they got banned for receiving a "blessing of grand" without knowing what it was. SSG: "We changed our name because we keep firing our fans".

	I just had a scathingly brilliant idea about how to distribute free boxes to the masses. Too late now I guess, but it would have been awesome. Mail like 50 boxes to everyone on the "who is on" list. No need to open trade windows or anything. Just mail them en masse. Watch SSG's head explode. (and watch the ban wave fizzle out when "honest" players react)

	I already know of at least 3 honest players who got hit, and I don't socialize much. They just haven't figured out its a ban yet.

	I got a stone from Grand, and I know 1 other who got a pair of boxes from Grand. Neither of us have any log in issues. The ones to watch are the ones I know who recently "transferred to server X to help out a friend, and are back now".

	Well, account creation has been re-enabled, so I think we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

This could also mean that they got their act together and have some form of monitoring connected to the account creation. I know, it is highly unlikely but even a blind hen sometimes finds a grain of corn.

	To my knowledge no one from my store was banned, so if I had to guess it was rank amateurs selling boxes or people who don't know how to cover there tracks duping that got themselves and others caught.

	Looks like they have banned even non-exploiters as well. https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/518569-DEVS-How-to-cancel-subscription... Fuckers will never get it. At this rate, only the forum paladins will be left playing and fighting over useless things like "hey devs what will I do after 156 AP" because those fucktards forgot to cap the rxp and some people are sitting with 200+ Reaper points.

	I'm frankly interested in seeing what their sales for Feywild look like after they've banned a shitload of paying customers. Given the way the sploit works, it was mostly people spending money on the game who got hit.

	You guys, are dum dum Imagine the police, pull someone over for speeding, and instead of fining them and making a big story about it they say “oh it looks like your licence doesn’t work” and say nothing else. SSG is dum dum, but they would rather make people fear exploiting rather than just shadow ban. SSG doesn’t run private prisons so they have no incentive to continue giving people the idea they can get away with exploiting.

D'you wanna try again? You open by calling us "dum dum". Ok, sure, solid opening, this is the vault; you either grow a thick skin or GTFO. Then go into a pourly-phrased analogy... still on brand... Now you're calling SSG dum dum, but pointing out that they don't run private prisons? (which is patently untrue, EVERYONE knows this. Its on their god damn website, they make video games and run a private for-profit work camp in Laos. Read the fucking wiki, n00b). You try to say they would rather make people fear exploiting rather than shadow ban, but they ARE shadow-banning; which gives everyone who didn't find out about the shadow banning a very good incentive to keep on exploiting: they got away with it. So we have: Poor sentence structure Vague analogy *An incorrect point disproven by it's own statement. Yup. That is a Vault post.
