Worried about Nostalrius policy on banning accounts

[Pugger]

When the Laws of a country are written, they normally say what is not permitted in logical and numerical statementents and define the concepts they use

define "industrial" and define what is the max amount of nodes per hour/week farmed permitted cause I would like to know what is that "cap" to maximise my farming potentials

also I get to that cap with one character, can I log another character to get to the cap with it? or is that cap account based?
In the case it is account based, can i log another account (not multiboxing) and get to the cap? Or is it user-based?

define this kind of things and we are happy, or I will open ticket everytime I farm asking if I can farm 500 nodes this week

This is just absolutely not true. Just try to figure out tax laws, they change every year. Are you saying that if you had no previous knowledge of a specific law, that you could not be charged with breaking it?

wtf? did u even read? they can change but they are written and u can get specific info about them, however here if u try to get info about what is illegal, they tell u to not farm "industrial ammounts", thats not specific and cant define a law

Don't overreact. Really? Here is what Daemon said first:

Hi,

It is indeed a bug. The respawn pattern should not be deterministic. When a vein despawns, it may, or may not respawn afterwards, or another vein may respawn somewhere else.
You could not predict exactly when/where a vein would spawn on retail.

If there are other nodes bugged (mining or herbs), it is an exploit and it needs to be reported on the bugtracker.

Daemon.

Then he further clarified.

About 5 accounts have been banned for exploiting this bug, that is fixed now.
These accounts were doing it at an "industrial level" (gathering these same nodes way more than 500 times a week !) and thus gathering a lot of gold/items in a very little period of time.

Add both of these together and the story you get is: "These 5 nolifers found what they thought was a good grid spot and farmed it, much like others farm DM East/North or whatever their poison is. However, we decided that the predictability we coded was a mistake and the spawn should be more random and the grind less profitable. Thus we banned these farmers."

If this is NOT the story then for the love of god tell us the real story, with details. Because all your reassurances doesn't do shit unless you tell us what in your view went down. GM's keeping secret their detection methods for hacks and bots make sense, keeping secret what non-bot/non-hack in-game actions can get you banned doesn't. AT ALL.

And remember, knowing that the nodes are on a timer =/= knowing that it isn't intended. Tons of stuff in wow spawn on timer, so coming across that in the world really doesn't raise any red flags.

Here's the real question that needs to be asked but isn't being asked:

Are any of us really surprised this happened? I mean it's not as if they promised they would start communicating more than what we've got now.

Between the AV disaster, GRIZZLY, and the whole entire DM cry-fest, something like this was just bound to happen. Anyone who says they are surprised is either new to the server or just plain naive. Nostalrius is clearly not concerned with the way they hand out bans or communicate and they haven't shown a shred of intent to improve. None of this is new or shocking.

I don't think anyone except those who got banned are surprised. Problem is, the server has so many cheerleaders who ululate when this happens nothing will change. It's a free server ad nauseam.

So you can read and understand the tax laws in your country? Laws are written with a large amount of ambiguity. If you can read and understand all of the laws where you live, I hope you are making a lot of money off of that skill.
