Banned for farming

This is getting a bit ridiculous… So over the past few months many of my friends have been permabanned for farming. The anti-bot system may be working on the bots but it’s also working on banning legitimate players from the game. So many of my friends have been banned for farming Southsun Cove for Karka Shells. Many of my friends have also been banned for farming places with risen that frequently spawn. Gold isn’t easy to make in this game so people have to grind for it. When grinding comes with risk of having an account you spent thousands of hours on banned it shows that the anti-bot system needs to be fixed.

Now, I’m going to go farm for some gold. Please don’t ban me while I’m doing it!

Please simply have your friends contact Support to discuss their individual account questions. Please note, however, that accounts that are detected to be involved in botting or RMT activity will be closed and that continuing appeals or forum posts will not be of any use whatsoever. I do not make a judgment about the activity of your friends, naturally, and again ask that they contact Support about their own accounts.
