Prior selling leech my equipment was the following so let's go with their current values or what i think are their current values, again since i am obviously not active nor engaged with Royals at moment. NL. 23 att glove. (35-38b) 19 att cape. (30-32b) 17 att shoes. (32-35b) Eye accessory: 7 str 7 dex borrowed from BabySair, only upgraded to 15 dex Mask and then 18 LUK headband upon leeching. Absolutely meme-tier Alchemist Rings, only upgraded to 6 dex 6 luk and 4 str 5 dex 6 luk RoAs upon leeching. Furies: From my own CWK crafts. 94/19 DPS: 40-45b Absolutely zero meso investment on untradable at that point, time investment however was there with me relooting for mon, zhelm/scar/targa hats, krex ring (which would cs later and fortunately get a good one without spending a lot) Warrior stuffs? I had a 135 claymore at some point (not even sure how much is that right now) 3b perhaps? Subpar top/bottom that were probably worth less than 1b. ------------ Again, we have discussed only valuations. Its true that considering market prices that would be my net worth but there are cases where i have scrolled items for cheaper. The 10 dex 63 luk Dark Katte? That was self scrolled bought as +2 with 8 slots for 2b. Used 58 ws to scroll it, so 31b total but easily valued at 40b at time i quit, judging from similar stats Katinas. The 3 dex 28 luk EP? Bought for 12b clean and used 38 ws to scroll it, so 31b from what would be 35b roughly if i were to purchase a fully scrolled EP. The 18 str goggles? Bought for 15b and they gained two slots after, boosting their value. No other items have been self scrolled. So, pretty much the bulk of my gears were carried by skeles, literally. Sticking to 600b+ easily plus around 80b from the items BabySair gave me and what i've stated here that would roughly account for 140-150b before leech, now accounting for flipping/fluctuating prices, items that you make, you can see how i have reached a net worth of 900b roughly without spending actual 900b during my entire Royals "career" albeit close to it, with a minimal deficit.
Hello, we didn't forget about your appeal. We are still working on your appeal but due to the amount of your meso, the process took longer than expected. Tho I have a few questions: Could you please provide more details regarding how you acquired these gear? Approximately when did you reach this point of gear? On another topic, what items did you self scroll, and how many WS/CS did you use to scroll? And which character did you use to scroll them? Details such as the following will be nice:
Hello, Kenny. I'm glad that i got an answer from y'all. My 23 att glove. Bought from LRebornX (Trade shows my 22 att BWG + 10b top up) and i paid him 2b later on (12b top up total) Unfortunately i can't get a better screenshot but we can extrapolate from this thread/post that we traded somewhere around Nov/23/2020. Original 23 att glove thread here My 19 att Cape. I am lacking screenshot for this one, but i was able to find this thread/post which date is Aug/21/20. Traded using my 18 att Cape + 7b The character that i used for sure was either AufHaven or Solitaria My 17 att Shoes. Bought from lovvIntirl (not sure of the exact spelling perhaps there are i's and L's mixed in his name) My 16 att Shoes + 7b top for his 17 att. I am unsure of the date for this we can see the date of the client there thought and we know that the xmas event was on-going. 94/19 DPS. I am lacking any sort of screenshot from this date but... As you can see in this thread/post i bought this item with my 91/19 and 13b (38b total at time) and according to the post it was sold to me back in May/02/20. Btw i borrowed 10b from Luvena back then to purchase this DPS and i paid half of those mesos with my split from this sale 60/12 DPS that was sold for 30b this landed me 5b that Luvena kept since i was in debt. Obviously i wasn't counting with such luck when i got into the original debt but it came at right time into my hands. Later on i went to clear my debts with Luvena. i'll first of all ask for a clarification, i haven't scrolled anything tradeable notable* on my own except the items already stated which are. The perfect Dark Katte. The perfect LUK EP. My untradeables (no way around this and i have mentioned those already) Since my philosophy has been to purchase finished items as much as possible to avoid RNG, unless we are talking about not so relevant gears i used at some point as a new player in Royals. I've never WSed anything** that can be traded asides these two items (Unless the Dragon Khanjar from Equinoccio that was already mentioned on this thread counts) and that was a shared item which we funded 50/50 that was lost upon his ban. *I've scrolled some literal mid stuff like 130 att dagger with six 30%s / 81 att DGS with a few 30%s and some claw 100%s / 11 Str 8 Dex 13 att Green Korben with 30%s and 100%s as well which i doubt would be note-worthy when it comes to discussing this but please let me know? ** Spent a few WS by mistake while scrolling some items, wasn't intended and nothing good came from this. I don't think that sort of items do really count in this equation but that's the kind of stuff i made which i did use at some point then sold. My EP. Scrolled by Karax (Yet it was my EP and my WS) Dec/06/21. Link to video My Dark Katte. Scrolled on my own NL, didn't record. This is the sale of the +2 with 8 slots Dark Katte, Karax a/w'd for me. Date. Last, most of this stuff is from years ago and i've lost most of my screenshots from those times since my former PC died (literally). I got my current PC on Nov/15/22 and you can verify this information by checking my MAC/ETC before and after (my basic ip address hasn't changed that much despite being dynamic) so some of my history can be traced through my forum account which is a good thing.
Thanks for the quick reply. These are very helpful! Could you please provide more details regarding the origin of your 18att cape, 22att gloves, and 91/19 RC? It's okay if you don't have the screenshots, we will cross reference your details with our database to verify the transaction.
Hey, Kenny. In order to answer how i came to obtain 18 att Cape, 22 att Gloves, 17 Att Shoes and the 91/19 DPS we better go from the very beginning there's no other way to explain the origin of those items or rather the funds it is, since you do not seem to be interested in the actual trade but the process that led me to, my journey - i need to prove that i didn't came outta nowhere, right? There's no magic trick, there's no gambling, just grinding and bossing in order to upgrade every item since the very start and since all of this dates back to 2019-2020 and early 2021 i've lost most of my screenshots and some stuff been hard to remember albeit a good brain exercise. The start. So this is my history as a player. I started playing MapleRoyals shortly before the anniversary event that took place back in 2019. Made a Shadower in my first account, you can trace my accounts and characters by creation date i guess? From maple island i grinded solo i was some sort of unintended Ironman, not because i was keen on doing everything on my own but because i needed to reconnect myself with MapleStory and my memories from the game after not playing for a decade, last i played this game was circa 09 so i took my time to re-learn the game and believe me when i sat that i fucked up quite a lot on my builds from ap to sp distribution. The anniversary started and i was still grinding solo for the most part, didn't socialize that much but around this time i got to Lv 100 (Made it from Lv. 70 to Lv. 100 PPQing) and then i went from Lv. 100 to Lv 140 grinding Himes, sometimes solo, sometimes partying, drops from Himes provided my initial mesos, roughly around 500-600m to get 12 att gloves and even thought i did explore Ulu and Skele as a shad i found grinding Himes better suited for a nearly naked Shadower. I bought this 12 Att Green Mitten from Muuu for around 100m i don't know how i remember this, i guess the human brain is weird at times because there's better stuff i should clearly remember but i don't, either way let's continue. I bought 3 Att FS with no slots that i found for like 300 or 400m from merchant store, used an owl. 118 or 119 att GDK and a 18 att MapleShield that i self-scrolled and sub-par top-bottom that went for under 80m. I was horrible at Zak JQ so i completed the alternate quest, bloody hell. Eventually i realized that you could get quite a good and expensive scrolls from the cake events, so i started to create low level alts to join and track cakes as much as possible and i ditched my Shadower since it wasn't what i wanted at that point, i was unfunded, unwashed (didn't realize this at time, this is the 2024 me speaking facts) but for a first char it was a decent experience, memorable, even. --------------- Thus i made my MM at first intending to be an APQ mule to marry myself but i felt that people back then wanted SE more than whatever shads offered back then, diff meta compared to now i guess. I kept doing cakes to get scrolls and sold my shad stuffs, scrolled 15 att SCG purchasing clean SCG and using my own GFA event scrolls from the cake events. Leveling from Lv. 1 to Lv. 30 solo then from Lv. 30 to Lv. 70 CPQing since i already knew bout those and i was already learning the ropes and Lv. 70 to Lv. 100 PPQqing, Bought a 122 or 123 Neschere for like 120m and found that i had a perfect clean Armis on my shad, probably from my brief moments at skele, i scrolled that with my own OA dex event scrolls, not cost effective but didn't know shit. At this point with my MM i joined a guild which name i forgot but my guild master name was Lolly (whether the spelling was i's or l's i can't remember) but he was a cool dude that tried to guide me and teach me about HP washing and i didn't understand anything despite his best efforts (wherever you are now, ty for trying lol). I had to re-run the Zak alternate quest FML and i ditched my Sniper at lv 110-115 after finding back then that Blizzard was glitched and not freezing mobs as intended, it was game breaking for me back then lol but i would come back to her shortly after. Oh look, my very first thread at forums! How i made mesos during this short period? I kept selling the event scrolls that i was gathering from the anniversary since it didn't end (yet) at this point. But Lolly was telling me about leeching at Ulu/Ulu2 and Petris and how it worked. Meanwhile i got my MM to Lv 150 doing Krex, Zak, Dojo, Pap and hunting Anego whenever i had any help to. Eventually i ended using this MM for the following things: APQing/Farming Stoppers/SE Mule (whenever the HP allowed it, places like Krex, Zak, CWKPQ to clear Archer Room) and i would level her till Lv 170 roughly doing so. --------------- Then comes my third character my F/P Archmage and the first character i sold leech with. Followed the same leveling route as my MM except that from Lv. 100 to Lv. 120 i was spamming poison mist at Petris (knew this upon reading at forums) that made the grind bearable. Wasn't going to do the stupid alternate Zak JQ again, so i purchased a Targa hat. Bought a wand (5) that had a couple 30%s in, finished with my own Wand event scrolls for a solid 183 TMA. From the anniversary and i can't remember but i think 2019's Royals anniversary was ending or ended around this point. Sold all my att gears (the 15 att glove, the dagger, the neschere, the 18 att maple shield) to fund a cheap MA shield, overall, lapiz sandals and gloves. Bought HTP and leveled till lv 154, selling ulu2 to gather mesos for my Mw20 which i failed. I never happened to get Mw20 so i sold Petris with Mw10 and leveled beyond i intended at first (advertising this fact, of course) for around a month. Obviously in between selling my att gears and selling ulu2 there's something that we cannot forget. Archmages cannot sell leech without HS mules, so i made HijaDelSoI (with an "i") my Priest and eventual first Bishop. Fortunately grinding this was easy and i was motivated, didn't need more than lv 81 for my HS and door points. From selling petris for a month, granted i didn't sell Petri leech the way i ended selling Skele leech as Solsticio because back then i was doing at most 3-4h sessions/day and not dying in front of my PC trying to get as many hours and as many mesos as possible per day, oh god how naive i was. I don't know if there's people from that time that could remember my Archmage at all but hey at least there's this brief mention! Bonus, rip lmao. Also shoutout to ShiraKiss/Semu we happen to meet at Petris while i was leeching and we decided that one day we would make our 200s together at this place. And so we did, sure bliss, nostalgia. --------------- Back then selling leech was boring for me and even during my peak it wasn't exactly the most enjoyable and fun activity (ngl it isn't even on my peak withSolsticio) so i made my Hero my first attacker, my first character does not count here lol. My main in GMS was an hero, washing an hero was cheap and easy (my first char that i commited to fully wash, bought real cheap washing gear) and any potential mistake should've been easy to fix, warriors aren't hard, simple logic, simple goals. Thank god i took my time watching Zak JQ videos, no more alternate quest shenanigans. After leeching myself till Lv 135 i sold my Archmage gears and gathered my savings then bought 15 att glove which i would sell since at some point i made the Green Korben glove that i've already posted, 11 att cape, 9 att shoes (here, and here you can see the date in the screenshot) and 126 (or 127) ST which i kept upgrading (126-127 > 130) originally i wanted a 132 ST but the seller screwed me big time, promising he'd sell me the sword but changing his mind at last second after i had sold my mage gears, i still have the DMs here at forum. At this point i did stagnate myself in terms of funding since my bossing wasn't optimal, just running Zak/Krex/Pap in a very inefficient manner and i wasn't doing any further leech. Around this time i happen to meet Banxy ty for teaching me how to navigate BF maps and grind BF with me. That's what helped me to speedrun into Lv 19X for the most part, did get solid NX from this albeit i wasted it buying clothes over and over at shop and didn't really invest heavily into purchasing gacha or APRs. Joined my first somewhat serious guild (Exalted) shoutout to Nic. Shoutout to Karax remember that Dojo where we meet each other? I was Lv 14X. Shoutout to SuperVegito he's now banned, but he introduced me into Shao and threw me into my very first and the most chaotic HT i've ever seen, how that run didn't fail was a true miracle. This was around September-October 2019 if my memory does not fail me. Started to learn the very specific ropes bout CWK after doing the prequests, i had trouble learning everything and it wasn't pretty but thanks to DeathXbow and LottieB for their patience with slow me. I only happen to join them randomly when they were R> with smega and we got along. DeathXbow would go on into teaching me more about HT and its mechanics. Meanwhile i was still running Zak/Krex/Shao mostly with folks from Exalted all of this dating back to October-December 2019 as for my funds? Just whatever i could gather from those days, any split, anything. DeathXbow happen to quit, he hosted a give away at forums and left his remaining items and gears with LottieB. In fact i speed ran into Lv 194 before being all emo, like my damage sucks, my gears sucks, etc. But notable points in terms of funding myself despite still being stagnated are, running CWK more often, but mainly running HT with the squad i built from zero while most of us had minimal to nearly zero experience doing this since we were literal newbies. semu - back then with her bishop ShiraKiss ShadowA - sadly banned by now. LottieB - quitted. Batutaa - quitted. 420Brownies - inactive but he's still around. There are a few more names from this era that took places i this squad as standings, etc. Cannot name them all but this was the core group for the most part. Regarding CWK at that time and during early 2020 i must thank WaiiStreet (Voiatility as NL) for his constant invites and carrying (he was quite funded at time and i was barely sporting a 9k range at my peak as hero back then) During this time i also started selling Scarga with ShiraKiss and WaiiStreet + randoms buccs for the SI we needed. Finding buyers for both sets of hats and maybe this is my ego but i don't recall people selling both sets of hats back then, it was a superb source of mesos for the time and nobody used to kill both bosses at once at that time. --------------- AufHaven my NL. I've always said that i don't know how i did happen to land this name, neither i know what prompted me to try the name, perhaps my lack of imagination and all my options were used and i'm sure that NT being a new thing helped with this but i'm happy with the results kekw. I already had my 11 att cape, kept my 9 att shoes and sold my 13 att Korben to purchase a 15 att glove. Since the beginning i wanted a 30k HP NL and my path was hell. So i decided to "quit" my hero around Jan 2020 not "quit" per se just going inactive, but i wanted my NL to truly kickass lol. Then during this time (Around February) i had to quit the game for nearly a month due to personal issues, had to stop my NL at Lv 50 or 60 if i am not mistaken. I would come back with in full force. I'm glad that i had help from LottieB being able to borrow her top/bottom/crystal ilbies and at times her 17 att glove/13 att cape. Self-leeched my NL doing 2 hits at Petri since i was lacking good gears on HijaDelSol till Lv 149 and i managed to self-scroll the 81 att DGS that i posted on my previous reply. I remember getting the clean DGS from Kerning Gacha, the scrolling was already mentioned as for the APRs it came from my own purchases, and whatever i could muster from my nx gains at this point. Around March 2020 i had to settle for having little over 12k hp (with enough MP for my 30k) and around 250+ base int, in fact i had to Zak and Krex with my this base int and slowly reset it over time. I finished resetting my int around Lv 160 and meanwhile i kept doing HT and CWK with my hero to gather more mesos to fund my own top, bottom more APRs and a few Crystal ilbies of my own. It was around that time when i finally started to HT on my NL together with Karax, ShiraKiss, ShadowA and LottieB. My mesos started to flow things were getting better, started to boost my NL hp slowly and i started to get serious (not that i wasn't) but i started to run multiple 2x CWKs and 2x using my Hero and now my NL as much as i could. Rebuilt my MM so she was able to partake in CWK mainly taking care of archer room and since wash ain't needed, i just needed a cheap neschere and by doing this i gained a 3rd character capable of running CWK. By april/may i was running HT with Luvena's squad, happen to meet Bun (BunnyBunBun) there during this period and at this point i was running CWK with multiple teams across the day (using NL/Hero/MM) Happen to upgrade from 81 DGS/80 RC to 91/19 RC (swapped claws back and forth with LottieB we also swapped top/bottom/other gears to optimize our NLs) by pooling our mesos together and selling our claws and an approximate date here and here i also sold my hero ST to help myself with mesos and resorted to using a 134 Tavar Axe that i scrolled, bless me for having some foresight and running a hybrid hero build. Bought the claw from Luvena unfortunately there's no screenshot from this. LottieB went into quitting for the first time and so i fully inherited the claw the 13 att cape, the 17 att gloves and the 7-7 goggles later she would come back and forth before finally quitting for real in 2022 The 94/19 DPS came shortly after getting the perfect RC. At this point i was using 9 att shoes, 13 att cape, 17 att gloves and with this gear i happen to get Lv 200 on my NL. Around June 2020 i happen to meet EyeNoseLips and Eirea while running CWK shortly after and together with Karax we had a very stable team able to run multiple runs with multiple chars swapping back and forth according to whatever signs and specific chars the run needed. I did hit my peak at CWK with this 10 att clean BFC x2 here 7 str clean goggles which i csed and landed +5 roll here Among a huge number of CWK related drops that i sold through my merchant stores (sometimes i ran stores through AufHaven, sometimes through Solitaria and sometimes when i was full i cleared inventories setting shops in both HijaDelSol (arch and eventual bishop that i kept leveling as a mule up to lv 19X) And as a funny fact my hero leveled from 194 to 200 CWK'ing. I made my Shadower Engel (with an i) at some point during this period there wasn't any washing i just did the old hp quest every day till 12k'ish and wear a 130 dagger / 32 att DKhanjar together with my NL gears this shadower also allowed me to add another set of CWK/HT runs to my schedule whenever it was possible for me to. This shadower was also my pseudo sed mule for HT and there werent major investments on this char. During this time specially the time i ran with EyeNoseLips, Eirea and Karax i happen to finish most of my upgrades that you've asked for this would be from June 2020 till March 2021 approximately. 17 att Glove from LottieB which i liquidated in order to purchase the 21 Att Glove from VValter then i went to upgrade into 22 Att Glove with ImOppa 9 att Shoes turned into 14 att that i bought from ioopy then i upgraded into 15 and 16 att shoes if i am not mistaken since these trades were done in game and i can't find any screenshot from this period with Kiyoto the screenshot doesn't confirm the deal for the 16 att shoes however i'm pretty sure we still dealt in game later on. As for the cape after 13 att i can't remember names the 13 att Cape that i got from LottieB turned into a 15, then into 16, 17 and 18 in game. For some reason Dragonsann name resonates a lot with me, but i can't pinpoint anything time has passed, and swapping PC didn't do me any favors. During all this time i slowly converted my gigantic mp pool into hp mostly saving my NX gains for APR rather than gacha or anything else thus finishing the 30k goal. --------------- In terms of general wealth, i tried apqing for my own apples tho i never had it for APQ as a source of mesos, wasn't and isn't my thing. Stopped my casual attempts trying to farm Ulu1 since my duo mage setup wasn't efficient at all and farmed stoppers for my own usage at times, selling any surplus that i had. Unfortunately, all that bossing started to yield nothing i hit a huge dry streak at HT and CWK items started to lose their value i was running Auf with Karax and EyeNoseLips but the Miracle scrolls were very cheap during this time and the boss wasn't that rewarding, merely "ok" My runs weren't yielding anything, and it was frustrating considering the amount of CWKs/HTs i was running. Started to farm CWK hearts with my hero, that was alright, but the prices weren't stable specially when i had to compete with other farmers. Started to run Scarga again and sell hats this time in a duo setting with SuperVegito, it was profitable but finding buyers was complicated. Started selling CPQ with my fighter Prettify but the income wasn't exactly too hot and having proper duels at CPQ is a pain. i was hard stuck at 59 CGS this solidify my belief that i had to go back to my roots, aka selling leech which is how i managed to get my hero rolling so i tried to sell Duku leech making two new archmages for this goal but unfortunately Duku was nerfed straight into the ground merely a week after i had started selling. Made Solsticio and the rest is history. This is my entire royals history as a player...
I understand it's not easy to recall some details so thank you for responding with this amount of detail! For clarification, are you saying that you and LottieB bought the 91/19 RC together? Based on your description, it seems that your purchase was around early April 2020. How did you gather another 13b to bid on the 94/19 DPS after your big purchase, around late April 2020? In addition, looks like you also upgraded your shoes and cape in May 2020 in conjunction with your hp washing. How did you gather the funds in such a short amount of time? On the other hand, could you please describe the origin of your gear listed in your damage thread? Notably the 22 RS, 24 BFC, 24 SCG, 60 OA, 18str spec. I didn't find a related selling post based on your forum activity so I'd appreciate it if you could provide more details on this matter.
Hey thanks for coming back to me this fast. I think you missed this part regarding my DPS. Nono, my wash was a very slow process i had to pause my wash at times, a month is plenty to gather mesos for that kind of cgs upgrades if you are consistent with bossing, specially going from merely 13 att to 15 att Cape i remember myself borrowing mesos (around 2b) from 420brownies or semu for the 15 att Cape. The only big upgrade here was the jump from 9 into 14 att Shoes. 24 BFC comes from Nessi (posted earlier on this thread) 24 SCG comes from HurriHurri 22 RS comes from KuaiDian 18 Str Spec comes from Strawberrys 60 Str OA comes from Lemie Extra pic & pic.
Hello again. Do you have any other gifts/inheritance or borrowed gear that you haven't mentioned above?
Nothing else, rest of stuffs such as some meager RoAs and washing/not so relevant mage gear which i didn't mention were being swapped back and forth between LottieB and i for ages. At some point i used the perfect Xbow that she inherited from DeathXbow on my MM but it was returned to her. Edit: Equinoccio and i, would exchange stuffs from time to time like 1 WS here, 1 CS there, nothing expensive and more as a sign of friendship/affection he helped me a lot with my Auf and i was supposed to do the same this year if we weren't banned. I've swapped several items with Karax, but nothing that counts as gift or inheritance that wasn't mentioned already.
Hello Solsticio, we're happy to inform you that you've been unbanned based on our investigation in your case of suspicious activity. In addition to that good news we would also like to apologize for taking so long to reach this conclusion. I was personally heavily involved in the process of banning you and handling your ban appeal and it's with your ban and other ban appeals that took much longer than acceptable like the one regarding Saledor we as staff learned that our process on suspicious activity bans that involve a lot of information doesn't work as we would like them to and needed changes. Initially the staff trusted me to be solely responsible to reply to ban appeals that they would tag as 'Awaiting Admin Action' for suspicious activity bans that I put in place based on reports and my investigations based on the information in those reports. They figured I would be most up to date on the case and the things I checked prior to applying the ban so I would be most suited to handle the ban appeal however when it comes to large suspicious activity investigations that doesn't seem to work. Whenever I got involved in your case and read fully into it again after new information came to light I would continuously end up in a cycle of doubt. Something in the funds didn't make sense however I couldn't pinpoint what it was. You mainly selling some skele leech didn't make sense to get to where you were and I felt I did my research prior to banning you. I couldn't clear your name and unban you with that feeling lingering in my mind however that's a very slippery slope of possible manifestation. I believed that if I continued to try to tackle your case by myself I would look for ways to justify the suspicious feeling, manifesting that you broke some sort of rule somewhere to justify keeping you banned and that's where I decided that the process for these information dense long running suspicious activity investigations doesn't work as it stands being handled by one person. While it takes up a lot more time from everyone on staff we decided to go over everything we learned up to this point on your case, getting everyone up to speed on the investigation and discuss what information we may have missed in a non-biased way as they didn't conduct the initial investigation. Getting other staff members involved was refreshing but also difficult because just like how I personally was split on a decision, so were the other staff members based on the information we had. We requested more details from you which you were able to help with in your ban appeal which showed us you had a lot of help from friends along the way and you didn't just sell skele leech. While some things still seem suspicious to us (for example loaning 45b from a friend that later RWT sold their account) we can't and won't punish you for that because we don't have any evidence showing that you may have been involved in RWT yourself. Ultimately it comes down to our policy that we would like to uphold that applies here: 'We'd rather unban players and later ban them again if more information with damning evidence were to surface than keep innocent players banned on suspicion alone.' This experience with information dense long lasting suspicious activity investigations has also reshaped how we deal with them. A small amount of players like yourself have been banned for a long period where it felt like something or multiple suspicious things were going on, however there's no concrete evidence and we let them go with compensation for their troubles. We strive to be: less trigger happy on bans on these kinds of investigations as the players should be treated as innocent if we're not 100% sure on some evidence. More time and resources should be spend on the investigation without banning the player. faster conclusions in handling such appeals involving multiple staff members for accountability so not just the staff member responsible for banning the player would feel responsible Lastly we would like to offer you compensation like we have for other players that have suffered from a long lasting ban that eventually got removed. We'd like to provide you with 60 days worth of drop/meso boosting coupons on a character of your choice. When deciding on this compensation we did keep in mind that one of your loans (45b) basically got cancelled in your absence from the game and doesn't have to be paid back anymore since that player got banned.
Hi Tim, took long and albeit i have mixed feelings regarding the entire ordeal i am happy to say that "justice" has been done? If one could say so because the person that reported me will never face any consequences nor acknowledge this and come forward to me with an apology not like i would mean shit at this rate, but accountability and etc... I pointed that long ago but the answers aren't within the community anymore, i just hope you and the other staff members are truly working in a change. I understand that i am a relatively "unknown" player compared to my peers "range-wise or wealth-wise" if we go through similar comparisons, in fact one of my morbid jokes used to be that i would surely get banned at some point because of how fast i was progressing and how hard i was grinding Royals, to a extent that wasn't healthy. We could say that i went through the five stages of grief - minus acceptance, would never accept the fact that i was banned, too many times during the year i asked myself how'd things go to that extent and how'd things end like this. I know that the ban was dragged, we went from the 27 att cape purchase and loans details down to the very moment i started in royals, while i do not feel that by itself that's wrong the time it took was an offense on its own, i feel that Kenny helped a lot during my last two (?) months that i was banned. This is true, while the inheritance i got from LottieB was sizeable this isn't much in the true end game, i'm sure we all heard of bigger and stronger items being passed around, but i got lots of helps in terms of loans and borrowing mesos to scrape for upgrades, i used to chase cgs upgrades as soon i saw the chances to grab any and i went from clearing debt to the next one if i lacked any mesos on my own, it worked i guess, paid back, got my items, borrowed again and paid back and i even had a ridiculous high cgs that made no sense before finishing an Auf helmet but upon seeing the current economy in 2024 seems my non intended cgs chase to the very end paid off. Some people will not and will never believe me but i only found that she was banned from this piece of info, judging from the amount of people asking me in discord, seems that she kept many of us in the dark, "understandable" from her. I'd add that unless the player activities are a danger to the server/community/economy if not contained, the ban itself can wait but those are my beliefs from the receiving side, after a year i've moved on to start a debate here, i just hope like i said that there's a change coming. The last is key to handling appeals faster and i feel Kenny would be key as another administrator as for being "less trigger happy and allocating more time to investigations" again i have hope to see that the community does not have to see a future "Solsticio" i̶'̶l̶l̶ ̶c̶l̶a̶r̶i̶f̶y̶ ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶i̶ ̶k̶n̶o̶w̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶r̶e̶'̶s̶ ̶p̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶d̶i̶s̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶a̶r̶o̶u̶n̶d̶, ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶a̶n̶a̶l̶o̶g̶y̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶w̶e̶ ̶d̶o̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶w̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶h̶a̶r̶d̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶y̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶f̶i̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶s̶e̶l̶v̶e̶s̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶i̶'̶m̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶s̶a̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶i̶ ̶e̶x̶p̶e̶c̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶ ̶m̶y̶s̶e̶l̶f̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶u̶t̶u̶r̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ appealing anymore, but we know its bound to happen since nobody is perfect but let's hope that once it happens the duration is "reasonable" To be honest even considering that i do not have to pay those 45b back i feel that not playing for a year held me back by a lot, more than mesos there's something we cannot purchase in game, that's "time" let's say that i lost on my daily chances at getting a godly ring from Royal Garden, lost on time-capped LHC Totems farm, lost on time-capped weekly VL runs, lost in terms of finding my actual mesos deflated and the cost of weaponry and cgs stuff higher than ever. "But you didn't have to play the actual game for a year" I mean, forced retirement ain't the same as claiming to retire on your own and only i, know that i could've devoted the last 12 months to the grind i was carrying until the dreadful day where i got banned as silly that concept sounds to the current me. Even if the ticket was meant to last nearly a year like i was banned it would ultimately pale in comparison, furthermore the ticket itself is a tool that would only useful for me if i intend to grind (in my case leeching) again and would not offer me anything if i remain a casual or inactive player in the future. Would it hurt the server if i actually happen to get some RP or untradeable (yea i do not intend to profit, so untradeable) rare NX items of my choice? If that's not possible just deliver the ticket to AufHaven i suppose the 2x drop might be useful while i grind LHC Totems/Energy because i can't forsee myself leeching for the time being even while being in debt to Nessi and i do not think that would be any unreasonable after a year in exile. Pardon me if i came as rude at some points but i believe that i am pretty justified to, even in my (by now dead) "feedback" thread, i could really go on here, there are things that aren't considered at all such as the anxiety that being banned generates even while being innocent, but you see it dragging forever that will never be considered. I'll leave it at that and will wait for your last reply concerning my "compensation" request.
At the time of offering you a drop boost compensation we were still working on making sure they work appropriately alongside the 'regular' drop rates that were fixed in the most recent update. Now that we know that they function as intended again we can offer you this boost in an upcoming server check. We discussed some of your proposals on other types of compensation but ultimately decided that we want to compensate you for 'time lost' with something that's 'time saving', not reward you with something unique.
