    I was training at ulu2 and searching for a channel when I came across a player clearly botting and logging off as soon as I entered his map. Thanks to the mapowner command, I was able to figure out who he was and sent a tip to Feisty through PM. I was both pleased and surprised to see the player actually got banned, but even more shocked to find out who it was, one of the wealthiest players on the server. I don’t know him personally and have nothing against him, but seriously? A 14-day ban for someone caught CHEATING? Just because it’s his first offense? This isn’t some random new player, it’s worse in my opinion. Because who knows how long this has been going for. I’m both angry and shocked, the decision feels almost rigged.

    Please don't delete my post trying to silence this, I'd rather have it locked instead. And if you do, with all seriousness I will consider ceasing to play this server indefinitely.

    U don’t know what u are talking about. He farms legit as I have personally been to ulu2 and cc to find an empty ch to farm myself and saw him and chatted with him b4. He did not cc that time or logged off as I got there. GM is more than welcome to look that up in the chat log.

    If u found a map with this guy’s ign, he perhaps finished farming or went to npc equips. If this guy was trully hacking or botting, he would’ve been banned b4 hitting 200 with mage.

    Don’t accuse someone as cheating if you are not 100% sure he is. Just because someone logged off as u got there does not guarantee someone is botting.

    Hello Kalebenyefune! His name is Eric and he is one of the kindest, and most genuine people I know in this server. He wasn't even going to make a ban appeal until we literally asked him to. Seeing you link to his ban appeal and speak utter nonsense has made my blood boil. Eric is a legit player, who has earned his wealth legitimately.

    you could have posted this in report abuse under your real forum account to request clarification instead of making an alt and posting publicly

    Are you ok?
    Do you need someone to talk to?

    Eric is one of the nicest players I've encountered, how can you even talk so much shit about him without even knowing him, and even call his punishment "rigged"?

    Also, afaik you're not the jury, judge, or executioner.
    Respectfully, keep your opinions to yourself.

    Who's dumb enough to bot at ulu2? Probably the same people who bot at haunted house farming stoppers. I get that he's important to you, but if he were legit, he wouldn't have been banned. Personally, I don’t know him or have any interaction with him, so my view on him is neutral. I just encountered someone acting suspiciously, reported it, and a moderator confirmed it, which makes me feel good about my decision. If I ever thought about botting somewhere, I would assume the consequence would be permanent, this is something that really frustrates me. Aren't you trying to get people to read the T&C? There are already two questionnaires about it. Robotic play is explicitly forbidden in the rules, yet you go ahead and give a rule-breaker a two-week ban, which undermines all the efforts to enforce these rules.

    Thanks, respectfully, I am currently keeping my opinions about your useless, single sided post to myself

    Sorry I made you upset with the truth bomb mate, but just so you know - posting a thread just to slander someone's name (or claiming staff rigs punishments with no basis or proof) is against the forum rules, so I'll step out of this nonsense thread with this - @Dave Deviluke

    Have a great day :)

    Cmon people, I bath in toxicity but the negativity of our forum is off the chart lately, let's be mindful & respect fellow players.
    I say let the GM do their job & hand out their decision, also let them answer OP on the original mentioned issue.
    Carry on :PBLove:

    We strongly encourage players to contact us privately via the report abuse subforum if they disagree with how a report is handled, allowing us to review the situation thoroughly. Making an open report could lead to unintended consequences, such as flaming.

    As per our T&C...

    Robotic play is a moderate infraction, and thus punishable with a 14 day ban for the first offence, and a permanent ban for the second offence. Although the rule states that we reserve the right to give a permanent ban for the first offence, the key word here is severe abuse.

    Please note that this differs from macro-botting, which is a permanent ban, under the hacking rule. That does not apply in this situation.
