Banned?

[rashgirl]

Tried to log in and it said my account was locked... please tell me why. I have received zero warnings, so please, enlighten me.

account name = rashgirl

Did you try multiple times to login? In that case your account is locked temporarely for security reasons to avoid brute force login attempts.

You can try and login again (with the correct password!)

Sorry, the exact error says that the account has been closed

Would really love an explanation.

That's the error message you get after too many failed login attempts. The account gets automatically banned for 15 minutes to prevent password brute forcing.

Well that's a nice sigh of relief, haha. Should I be concerned that I'm getting the same error after a few hours of not logging in, on two different computers?

Did a forum search and this issue seems to be cropping up more and more as of late.

Probably. A GM will eventually make a post here and tell you the status of your account since you've given your account name.

Greetings,

Your account has been permanently closed for gold selling activity.

GM Aerbax

Wow lol, ZERO percent chance that is correct. Please double check the logs.

Doesnt make any sense, warrior gold farmer/seller. Usually people that do that use hunter or some class that farms easily and faster, saying from my experience from retail over past few years - it was always the hunter that farmers used. Why would someone make class that has one of the lowest farming capability in game with plan of farmong/selling the gold.. Doesnt seem very logic to me, could you double check this indeed.

^ this.

Not just a warrior, but a PROT warrior. Granted I do make a fairly sizable amount of gold via herbing (15g per stack of mountain silversage, 9g per stack of dreamfoil). Every single last bit of copper can be accounted for. I have only spent the gold on BoE pre-raid tanking epics (that are equipped):

Boots of avoidance
Stockade pauldrons
stonegrip gauntlets
Myrmidon's Signet
Medallion of Grand Marshal Morris

The only time I have ever given away gold was to guild members, no more than 15g at a time.

Please, any GM that reads this I beg you. Take 5 minutes out of your day and check the logs on my bank alt "Kyle" (on the same account "rashgirl"). You will see that there is nothing even remotely resembling activity as insulting as gold selling.

Thank you.
