Character Name: Ushi, Yoroka, Kuura Last thing you did: I was self-leeching myself at The Dragon's Nest last night for an hour until I leveled.

What GM banned you (optional): Does not state the GM that banned me.
You seem to be overly excited with in-game chats while glitch abusing, care to tell us more about that?
For some explanations: A couple months ago (End of September and beginning of October), two of my ex-Mapleroyal friends were looking up quests that we can get mesos from such as scrolls. There was a quest (An Unknown Love) that gave two scrolls: Dark Scroll for DEX 30% and Dark Scroll for Overall Armour for INT 30%. Once we finished this we wanted to see if there were any other quests we can complete to get a reward. One of them found this exchange quest in Showa town that we may be able to get a Brown Work Glove in exchange for 100 dark foxtails. My other ex-Royal’s friend found out how to defy the random rewards by filling up both the "Use" and "ETC" tabs in items. After a couple tries because I couldn't get it right away since you can also get a Grey Work Glove, I thought to myself, “Wow this is a pretty cool quest, we can earn mesos pretty quickly.” But then I realized: What if this exchange quest was a form of breaking a rule? I went to the term of conditions and saw that this form of glitch abuse is banned worthy since we were gaining an unfair advantage. I became very cautious and informed my ex-royal friends that we may get banned for doing such behaviors. One of them reassured me that this wasn’t in any way a form of breaking the rules since it wasn’t, “duping” nor a “glitch” because it was "in the game" (ex-Mapleroyals friend). I was still very hesitant about going any further so I terminated such actions. This idiotic action of mine deserves a ban; I would not oppose of the consequence that resulted in my case. However, I would like to ask if this ban is considered as a first or secondary offense. (Thanks Tim for the quick replies to this thread!)
unfortunately your chat logs dont indicate that you were doing this a few times to try, and you were actively trying to get a lot of brown work gloves to get rich yet you mostly ended up with grey ones: Code: Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 00:54:44 I have no luck Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 00:55:04 its definitely Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 00:55:08 going to be a grey Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 00:55:09 watch this Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 00:55:32 So far, all my roles are grey Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 00:56:08 maybe if i get 150 grey gloves Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 00:56:20 I'll have at least one bwg Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 00:56:35 worth one bwg* Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 01:02:48 god damn I am so unlucky Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 01:03:02 im going to my fav channel Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 01:03:10 hopefully it'll boost my confidence Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 01:04:55 Pretty sure everytime you turn it, it tried to choose Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 01:04:56 one of those Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 01:04:58 shitty items Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 01:05:05 turn it in* Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 01:05:30 basically 2/13 of getting a glove Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 01:06:33 I got 8 in a row :) Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 01:06:42 of grays Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 01:08:53 I'm too poor Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 01:08:56 to owe him anything Yoroka 2933 2017-10-02 01:09:06 I'm rich on grey gloves tho We believe you had no intention of reporting this issue as you actively tried to get more and more items in an unfair way doing this exploit which we consider major glitch abuse thus you have been permanently banned.
Thank you for the log, seems like I did it more than just a few. I worded it that way because I was factoring in that I tried until I got at least one Brown Work Glove and didn't try afterwards, thus having multiple tries. I was very suprised I tried a lot more than I thought after viewing your response. I remember counting how many times I did it, but didn't think it was more than 10+ tries just to get at least one. Sorry for the incovenience, my actions does show that I intended to have an unfair advantage among other players. One more thing that I would like to say is that my friends found out that we were not the only ones that knew (they would search through fm, seeing the same people selling bwgs), other people had been using this method with the same intentions but abused it much more. Thanks Tim for the really quick replies. Most of the ban appeals here take days to be given a response. The staffs may be finding evidence to the cases. They're very hardworking and checks daily logs even though they're inactive in-game (Is what the atmosphere feels like, not a fact) Some people might hate me for my mistake, but what's done is done. Some honorable mentions although I'm most likely looked at differently: Kanmura, you were my best man in the game. We were partners until the very end, hopefully we'll see each other in real life. KafkaTomura, you welcomed me as a Vietnamese player, starting out. You also invited me into LoliVN and helped me to learn and read viet. Mrpoopybutt, although you disappear once in a while and gone from Royals for good, you helped me out by giving 20m to get myself a hog mount. Pummelo, you pretty much sit in FM and afk all day but we had a good run. Hila and I said, "RIP PUMMELO 2017" because of your savage actions. Ssumday, thanks for helping me out a lot. We pretty much leveled our NL's together I wish I could do so much more because you're a robot, being able to leech for 5+ hours without a break. Take it easy throughout now. Asshoe, thanks for welcoming me into the Crap guild. It was a very family-liked guild and it was lovely. Considering that FingerUranus joined and invite me for a chair, I enjoyed my stay. These are the people that made a shift into my time at Royals. Those that I didn't mention, you're special friends that didn't neccessarily helped me out. You guys were just really fun to hang around with. I loved helping people more than myself as I sometimes gave free leeches but is always denied because they felt guilty. I didn't mind helping at all. Although it is sad to see myself ending on a really bad note, life goes on. This chapter will be coming to a close and another chapter will begin. I will keep the memories within me throughout my life, farwell! o/ Sincerely, Brandon (Ushi)
