    Why do you think you got banned?: I made a stupid joke in the shoutbox after being frustrated that my yss weren't selling. I said something like, If someone rwts and then buys my shoes they'd be a brave soul. Obviously no one thinks I was serious, as I did it in the shoutbox where Becca was commenting, and everyone could see. This wasn't in game in a secluded map, this wasn't on some shady website. Literally here on a public forum linked directly to me. Anyways I agree I should be punished but 30 days is long imo, especially when https://royals.ms/forum/threads/ban-appeal.204588/#post-1213000 is performing robotic play and getting 14 days. This dude literally spammed gen in his sleep to gain exp, a huge advantage compared to regular players, and got 14 days. Meanwhile I make a stupid joke outside the game and get 30 days and am forced to miss the rest of the funnest event I've been a part of. I feel like 7 days sends a good message. Anyways this is ironic considering some of my forum posts, hope you get a kick out of it.

    The way your message in the forum shoutbox was worded could be construed two different ways, both of which are considered RWT (Real World Trade):
    • You wanted to sell an item for real money.
    • You wanted somebody to obtain Mesos with real money to then purchase your item.
    RWT as this is one of the most damaging forms of abuse and therefore we have a very strict policy against it. We already took leniency by issuing a 30 day ban instead of a permanent ban in this instance.

    Unfortunately your comment regarding a user who left a weight on their keyboard and was caught casting Shining Ray repeatedly in a Town is not comparable to RWT. Even if the user was able to gain some EXP, this pales in comparison to a users being able to gain real money or Mesos purchased with real money via RWT. And whether or not the act of RWT was actually committed, we need to have a firm stance against any potential advertisement or enticement of doing so. There is a possibility that somebody could have been enticed by your message and then went ahead and performed RWT, or proceeded to give you a RWT offer.
