To my knowledge up to this point nobody was banned for anything. Others have leveled to max level nearly instantly with foundry, others have killed the hardest bosses in 1 hit using bugged set bonuses -- pretty much anything you can imagine. Haven't heard of anyone getting banned until now. LOL

It appears to me that games that ban players for "exploiting" do so because they are so embarrassed at their mistakes programming the game.
I used to run a couple private servers for games and people would find bugs and flaws they would exploit. I would learn about them and what they were exploiting so I could patch them, but I wouldn't reprimand the player: they found a bug and drew enough attention to it so I could do something about it.
Also, my servers didn't really have an economy because there weren't many people playing on them at the time, so I didn't have to worry about one collapsing... I ended up just letting the exploiters keep their goods to give them a bit of a prize for finding the issue and drawing attention to it.
Other than that, I've been caught in other games doing far more malicious things than just poking at a quest bug that allowed me to do the same thing over and over and I've gotten much less sentences... even if I threw a cheat engine at the game...
The only thing I ever got banned from a game for was telling racist white jokes to my guild in private... I figured since I was white, it wouldn't really be that big of a deal...
But nope. Banned for being racist against my own skin color and never for hacking or exploiting.
yeah I mean come on who in the right mind would find a exploit and not do it
White knight gamers, I suppose.
... or big testers.
I've bug tested before and reported bugs and exploits.
Of course, I was offered things in return for finding the bugs, so the difference between outright bug testing for profit and exploiting something enough to be found out is somewhat fuzzy.
Banning players for exploiting in-game mechanics is really really questionable. People who do botting, write hacks or actually reverse engineer the game deserve account bans. This is clearly about getting an unfair advantage over other players and should be acted upon.
For in-game exploits the situation is different. Either we have a programming bug or balancing issue. It is clearly the developers responsibility to monitor their ingame-economy and address and fix these issues. People who find misbalances or simply find in-game opportunities to "win" at the game should never fear getting a ban for acting upon these opportunities. It shouldn't be the players responsibility to make judgement calls between "this is a good opportunity" and "this is a bannable terms of service offense" when he is simply playing the game.
So what should the developer do instead? Embrace the issues, deal with them. Analyse the logs and find out who got EFFECTED (aka the players who used the exploits) by the bugs or balancing issues. See how much the players "gained". Fix their accounts, take away the gold, items etc. they were not meant to have. The process is not that hard and once the issue is found out can probably be automated to a good degree.
A in my mind completely different issue that needs to be addressed is dealing with streamers. It is a unique situation: one person is in control of a large group of people and can use their community to gain advantages in game over the other players. Should this be bannable? I'd say generally no. Online games are all about the community. So they should embrace this, expect it from the beginning. If something happens contact the streamers, talk with them directly and not through unpersonal support-tickets, public forums or silent bans. Fix their accounts OR accept they have a unique status and give them "special" accounts, if that's what it takes to balance the game.
Exploiting is in the terms of service.Breaking the terms of service is a bannable offense,end of story.Dont want to follow there rules dont play there game.
DjangoEX I'm talking exactly ABOUT the terms of service. And what shouldn't be in there.
Cheese but it is in there. If you don't like it, don't play there. If they don't have an audience, game either dies or they'll change something until people come back.
Rei Lumiere I've personally never tried to find or use an exploit myself, nor have I ever violated any games ToS.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough: I was talking about the developers perspecitve here, not the gamers perspective.
Cheese The problem with exploits Cheese is that some are not harmful and some are harmful, but whenever someone finds one, it leads others to believe things like dupping are possible and in some f2p aka p2w games it leads to people somehow abusing some currency that can only be bought with real money and ruins markets and such. Other exploits may lead to doing bosses again with no cd or no pay fee or glitching bosses such that a level 1 could do a level 60 boss, entering new areas and possible having access to new items and just getting an unfair advantage over players.
Also someone around here said that GM's always go for people that do exploits and kinda ignore the botting that happens in games. That's not true at all. With pretty much every update, a games` offsets are updated to prevent bots that play the game for someone. It's hard to tell who is a bot and who isn't. Maybe some 12 year old kid is playing that doesn't speak the language so he doesn't read the chat, it would be a bit unfair to just ban him for 3rd party software unless you're sure. Some bots are more obvious than others. it's hard for them to find solution with all the assholes that try to cheat and the people who just try to break the game.
But hey, I used to do wow exploration all the time, and never got caught. At the same time, this guy I knew made a dupe of an item in wow and he was always rich in game currency, he eventually got banned, but he even gave me some items and they never tracked me to those items(which definitely gave me an advantage in pve although I didn't make money off of them since they were boe). My opinion is dev's just get fed with all the people trying to exploit so when they see people doing an exploit they just don't wanna play nice anymore so they just start banning.
My friend was banned for farming in never winter doing loot chest runs and collecting profession items and selling them for astral diamonds about 40k an hour he got around 9 million and could basically buy anything i understand this straight FUCKS the economy but seriously its. . . unfair that they ALLOW this to happen up until someone has fun
Of course he'd get banned for that. That would stop people from paying money. It's a free to play game, so, you know, MONEY MONEY MONEY OM NOM NOM.
Its farming though? how is that punishable?
brenden987 Because they don't get their money
brenden987 The reason is as you stated it would screw the economy in the game up and drive all the prices to ridiculously high prices and everyone who doesn't use this exploit would be fucked to own it, i've seen it happen in many MMO's and the reason they allow it to happen until it gets out of hand is you don't notice it's happening until it gets out of hand...the RESPONSIBLE thing your friend should have did was find this exploit that was not intentional by the game developer REPORTED it and stopped using it.
1bluebirdz
But how do you claim someones intentions? what you've just stated makes no sense. He didn't go outside of the game to cheat. He used what was already available and was banned for it. like in GTA 5 Rockstar banned several people that abused rooftop rumble.
Do you really expect to not get monitored with the name Exploitarrian? While also posting videos about exploiting? To an audience of 181,294 people, and getting 100,000+ views per video. If you are going to exploit, just don't do it publicly. And if you do exploit publicly, don't complain when you get banned. I'm not saying the companies aren't at fault, cause they are. But not entirely.
Wow, they never noticed you could auction off for negative prices? That's pretty stupid.
Anyway honestly if I were a dev I'd thank people for finding out exploits so that I could then go in and fix them. It's /my/ fault for overlooking that, even if it technically is impossible to make a perfect game. Now, *should* you exploit a game hardcore, not really, but you don't deserved a ban (*especially* a permaban) for it. It's just stupid.
You used to play cool games like MMOs. Now you play that fricken boring Hearthstone
MMO's "cool games" nice joke
7718 well everyone has a preference. but I would say mmo content is more exciting than hearthstone. I play headstone but really only 10% of the moments in a hearthstone game are like truly wild, personally I like the best of videos for cards instead of 30 minute matches. raids in mmos are always action packed all the way. I will admit outside of the raids or dungeons when your messing around with gear isn't as fun
MMos are just huge maps with mission hubs of fetch quest, boring as fuck. Id rather play solitaire.
Oh lets raid the same boring thing 200x for a drop.
Fuck that ill play diablo if i want loot.
The lame shit about it is he went from like 200k to 900k playing Hearthstone so if he stops playing it and goes back to MMOs then those 700k new people are gonna bitch and moan.
And krips preference was money and I don't blame him. Hearthstone gave him a ton more viewers.
i love watching your ban videos kripp. makes me laugh everytime
Man, kripp in this vid you really need some sleep man.
I don't consider this an exploit. It's just business. Buying low and selling high. Just because they stupidly put a bug that lowered the prices you shouldn't get banned for it. An exploit would be like in kharazan where you could glitch your way to the prince without killing any other bosses.
How comes you have no neverwinter vids
so the developers are banning people for exploiting something where it is their own fault for making it so damn exploitable? wtf man!?
Guild Wars 2 will do something similar. If you're caught exploiting to your advantage too much then you will be permanently banned and forced to buy another copy. Although people who found out about some of the exploits didn't get banned. It's just people that overly abuse it. What counts as the ban threshold is unknown though.
Also, were the 2 that werent banned had boughten the foudners package?
Banning people for using the mechanics of the game as programmed is criminal. It falls under fraud and failure to provide a service already paid for. It is because of tactics like this that I did not buy, and will never buy GW2.
I played NW very early on, before that whole negative bid fiasco and found it fun for the first few hours, then just found it boring. It's just another pay to win cash grab that isn't worth the time it takes to install it.
TacDyne lmao pay to win, I havent spent a dime and it's all good for me
Neverwinter was really fun when it first came out. Played the beta and for the next 6 months after it was released. Is it still worth playing? I'm guessing probably not.
it's fun to play with friends
was playing on ps4, its pretty awesome when you have friends or a group to play with.
PvP is awful because of terribly unbalanced pay to win enchantments, but yes, playing with friends is really fun, don't go solo, you will hate it unless you drop money on it. (also theres been an unusual behaviour with textures where they reload when you get even the slightiest lag, and it's really annoying).
you should probably not exploit if you don't want to get banned bro
Beece Good advice "BRO" *cringes*
+RedPillDestiny guys been banned from pretty much every mmo. its not like he is a real player he exploits everything.
how many times do you get banned from games till you understand that its you that fucked up and not them?
posts this video, devs realize how much more he has done banned for 3 more days
Kripp, are you actually reporting those exploits or you're just finding one, then waiting for a while and see if gets fixed and then start using it again?
If you get banned that much maybe you should search for the reason in yourself.
***** Do you do anything besides sit there and ridicule others for posting comments about how your boyfriend fails at games?
haha, some companies and their pr stunts :) It's funny because when Neverwinter Sharandar came out, people were jamming zone chat with "LF3M 3x Control Wizard Malabog's Castle 3/3, must know the jump"
I eventually got shown this jump on my CW alt on the second account, and there was a corner you could chain jump up to the top of the map, run across the ceiling, drop down under the map run to the last boss, and kill it safely from underneath. I still don't know for sure what the exploit really was because CW's needed 5 mins to take down the end-boss this way.
Anyone could do the jump, but CW dps range was the only viable option. No bans for that as far as I know.
I like to imagine Kripp stoned. Hahahahhahaha
If you did the Barovia Hunt glitch that was it. They posted that people who did so would be getting bans (paraphrasing)
You should have never quit WOW... Other games and their companies are clearly all bullshit
Tuf I like diablo better than I did wow although I heard the new dlc is good. I got into poe and Victor vran when I quit wow and still play d3 and those today
Blizz is also bullshit, but they are nicer to their Customers.
The devs talked to Totalbuiscit during an interview and they stated that it is possible to knock them of cliffs so that eliminates the knockoff as reason for ban.
seriously bro, you deserve all these ban's you keep posting on youtube here, stop exploiting game, if you find an exploit the right this to do is inform someone not just keep exploiting the game till your banned. Have you not learned your lesson yet mate, I guess not, keep exploiting games mate
***** In EVERY mmo terms of agreements, they clearly states that if you keep on exploiting with intent you will get banned or given an warning depending on the exploit and how severe. And thats that, since every one agrees instantly without even reading the terms you have nothing on them. But if you only did it ONCE or maybe twice it is for the most part forgiven since then its understand able that you only discovered the exploit, instead of actually abusing the exploit if you get what i mean... The thing is we all have agreed on this and that makes exploiting not defend able.
finaly231
My only issue is the fact that kirpp keep's posting video's about his ban in "x,y,z..." game; doesn't he undersif he find's an exploit to not abuse it muls and just report the issue to someone of authority in the game instead of repeatedly using the exploit then getting banned and posting a video complaining about his ban.
Mohamed Yousuf Then don't watch the damn video's, it's that simple.
"My only issue is the fact that kirpp keep's posting video's about his ban in "x,y,z..." game", that phrase means you've watched quite a bit of his videos, and you're too ignorant to stop watching them, so you keep on complaining about them on nearly every video, and he ignores your comments. LOL
Stop typing the obvious as well. I'm sure people know the terms of service of games. And if they don't, they don't care about it. If you've played enough MMO's; anything, whether skill, or vending that can be repeatable, people are going to do it. Even if it's not even an exploit, some little nub can call it "an exploit" and it'll get about a few thousand banned, even if it wasn't intended to be spammed. That's bad programming and poor judgement on the companies behalf blaming thousands for their screw up. I honestly don't think you're a "white collar gamer" or you've actually read all of the terms of service upon every game you've actually played, so stop trying to make yourself look better.
Admit you're like everyone else: You download a game, install it, scroll through the TOS, just to hit next.. Install the game, and play it. You don't ever go back and read the terms of service, as it will not pertain to you until you need reading content while on the toilet. Then, and only then will you understand the companies bottom line is money. The term "Open Beta" is a legal term used today to keep their investors happy, making money, but it's still very much broken. For someone to get banned for intentionally breaking their game though, is the companies fault. It's in a beta state. That is what the people do, find crap, report it, and to see if its exploitable, perhaps he was testing the theory? A 72 hour ban is still a bit harsh, that's a good ban provided you're harassing a player but for finding an exploit and testing a theory.I don't believe a perma ban is needed since it was in a beta, and that's what they are there for, to purposely break the game, to stop the exploits from making it to the permanent launch. How can you see if it's an exploit if you don't actually do it? And if they heard about it, it's the companies fault for not paying attention to their logs sooner and patching it. Any good developer or company will admit their faults, fix them, and not punish those that found and abused it.
Jaixc. i know, morally this is just bad from the developers but the fact that we just accepts the ToA means we throw all our rights, i think i read it some where that they can really ban you for no reason at all, cause this is what they state in the ToA for example. This account is not your own, we have full controll over it and will do what we want and how we do it is none of your buisness. That is what the ToA can state and if we just blindly accept that and it actually happens, we cant do a thing, only reason with them, they are at the advantage, the only thing you really have controll over is your money.
TL;DR After accepting Terms Of Agreement we have no rights(In the Game). But dont take this to literarelly, you have ofc some rights, that is the reason they urge us to read it, cause it tells us what we can do, and what they can do...
Even though i will probably not read it anyways...
The guild wars 2 thing was absolute BS though, using karma items to vendor for gold is now a.o.k.
Most people use (or used, its been a few months since ive played) karma bought greens to forge (to rares etc) for precursors which are worth thousands of gold...
Turning karma into gold generally isn't even that profitable, and it was fairly common practice for a long time, its totally bullshit that that was bannable.
I don't think I ever completed a dungeon without us pushing adds off cliffs. Our guild freaked out when we killed a mini boss sending one dude to a place he shouldn't be surviving and aggroing the boss onto the spikes. I thought it was just clever and I thought our guild leader was being a pussy.
420!!
Josh Ray What?
BRAZE IT? BRAIZE IT? GRAZE IT? DEFINITELY HAS TO BE PRAISE IT.
Wait, so did kripp do the -30 billion (or w/e amount) astral diamond bid exploit?
I need help when I got to play never winter I see that the play button is greyed out and I can not play
So are you going back to PoE now or what are your plans for now ?
what headphones does krip have on?
are you gonna make another account?
i love never winter and could use awsome advice
1. There is no routine maintenance in GW2. 2. The vender has been there forever, the prices just changed during that patch
Being able to kick monsters down the cliff was intended and not an exploit. What was not intended was that people use this in foundry dungeons by placing a lot of monsters near the cliff and farm XP this way.
Fiercesoulking is that really been worthy? I would say hell no. if they don't like players doing that there should be a prevention method. it isn't a real exploit
I believe knocking mobs off the ledge is intended, as players can't walk off certain edges due to invisable walls, but you can still knock mobs off them. If this isn't intended then it's there fault for not also having the monsters effected by hidden walls.
If a cinema leaves a back door open are you allowed to get in and watch the movie without paying?
That wasn't exactly what happened with the karma weapons Kripp.
What they did was raise the prices of all the weapons by some horrible amount. They just happened to mess up in one city and make them cost almost nothing. So the problem was a result of them messing up when they rose all the prices.
Can you recomend any other mmorpgs kripp rather than PoE and Neverwinter? Maybe a Top 10?
It´s been a nightmare for now a year to find a damn enjoyable-good mmorpg.
Epic PK drops purple gear each time over half the time it is something that will either sell quickly for a 5-20K due to two piece sets stacking, early cheap needed items for new 60s, or are genuinely good gear that will sell for 40K+ minimum or be something a person will keep.
Krip is awesome. Love your videos. In my opinion I think your are the best guy that does streaming for the latest games.
Wait so he got perma-banned? I read about one guy who used the AH bug to generate so much AD, he made 6000$ by selling it to real money trade sites and he only got a 72 hr ban.
I was loving neverwinter, but after the random ban on Kripp and Choi, then possible rollbacks and wipes? I'm not sure if it's worth it to do it all again. Maybe I'll wait until this game gets out of beta, I don't know. I got my yaya's out of it but do I really want to waste more time now? What are you guys going to do? Kripp?
It was regarding the boss issue, Devs responded to a forum post earlier about it.
@Kripparrian
I love your videos and this one was pretty fun to see, hate companies playing overlord and ban without proper reason, i started with TL2 now again, tired of MMO right now.
Will you go back to PoE now or what is the plan? :)
Did he actually do it? in this video he specifically says he did not do that. Seeing as he streams all of his gameplay, I doubt he would later lie about it on his youtube channel.
what is wrong with farming/grinding to get to a higher lvl ...
I don't understand why they ban people in the beta. Isn't the beta meant for testing? Why ban the guys who finds the exploits and bugs?
Kripp, what do you think of WildStar?
Hey bro, I only know you from PoE videos haha. I gave up on path of desync at level 75 :(
You still play NW? I'd love playing with you sometimes :)
There is already a cash shop so that the open beta will roll over into the release so it is a beta for intensive purposes but it is actually released.
If a monster knocks you off the cliff you die, does the monster get banned ?? Knocking back mobs shouldn't be something they consider bad.
Exactly what point are you trying to get across here?
Any game with the Crypic logo on it, stay away.
No sh*t
it's a fun enough game with huge potential, you're just left wondering "If only, cryptic wasn't involved"
If something gets you banned, you'd think it be worth mentioning it "somewhere" so that no one else gets banned for the same thing, right?
I say kripp should do that pirate boss again when he gets back on (if he wants to get back) and see if the bug/"exploit" still works.
They would have to be nuts to have punting cliffs banable, the loot drops on the edges when you do this, so its clear that at some point someone on the dev team looked into this aspect of the game.
Good ol' Exploitarrian.
Doesn't make sense to ban for exploits in beta, isn't that what beta testing IS? Would Perfect World like for an exploit to make it to release, or have players find them in beta? It's just dumb.
i really dont share your passion for exploiting games all day, but i enjoy your stream and your awesome theoricrafting, apart from that, i think thousands of people stopped playing this game because of your ban, you are some kind of an inspiration, i mean at least me and my friends started playing neverwinter cos we were watching your stream
There's a lot of software that is always testing, and they won't mind if you discover a way to break the rules or "exploit", since that way they can work to fix it, but if no one does, how can they know their software (game, firewalls, antivirus, browsers, shopping apps, etc.) works as intended?
How is that too much? I have 300k atm (without the exploit that happened) and I don't play nearly as much as kripp and I'm not even up to t2 dungeons yet.
when i try to play neverwinter ask me one time code what is that plz help me guys
Maybe were banned for using the auction house to sell those high value items items for Astral Diamonds on the AH. It's probably why the servers have been down all day. Did you check the Neverwinter Facebook page?
Does he reported the bug or abuse it while streaming?
How do you make the call? How many games exist where you can knock an enemy off a ledge and it isn't a bug?How many exist where you can skip content? Get real, you are trying to judge him ex post facto.
Nope, it's related to the AD/AH issue. Read their twitter. It explicitly says it right there on the front.
Kripp, who cuts your hair?
He was banned specifically for exploting a dungeon boss, so I don't think it was the AH bug.
What a wonderfully accurate analogy. Really gets your point across well. 10/10
Krip is the most intimate speaker when you're high as fuck
No need for a ":P" at all. During Dust 514's open beta (which lasted for months) CCP never told anyone off for exploiting any part of the game and let me tell you there was a huge exploit that allowed people not to fight, earn thousands of War Points and use those to call orbital strikes and get tons of kills.
CCP also asked as many people as possible to log in during a particular two hour window to see how the servers would hold up ... which they didn't. Fun all around.
Apparently you failed to notice smiley in the end.
You can(or used to be able to) knock monsters off cliffs in Starwars too. They would actually take fall damage like players, so even if they landed on something(and it wasn't an "abyss" style fall) and they fell far enough, they would still die.
Not sure if you ever played Starwars or not, but it was ok for the most part. My comp is pretty old so it pooped on it a little bit, took some of the enjoyment out of the game for me, so that and all the people I played with quitting killed it for me.
You sure you didn't exploit the AH AD bug?
does the glitch still work
Krippsensei, do u gonna play a bit f2p Rift?
hey kripp are you going to try Rift?
How are you supposed to know what is a bug and what is normal play? I mean the AH thing is obvious but knocking things off cliffs, that is in tons of games and makes logical sense to be able to do.
Avoiding encounters, that is in tons of games also, so mister high horse where do you draw the line?
I'd agree with you if the Open Beta meant character wipes at the end, but for some reason I don't think it does. There is a difference between finding and reporting a bug, and exploiting it. Kudos to the developers for taking a strong standing against anyone that exploits unintended mechanics as per the TOS.
He's assuming he knows what he was banned for when in fact he doesn't actually know, other than pertaining to bosses as per the email.
lol about the economy Kripp, how do you think they should fix the economy in your honest opinion?
Does NW rollback on launch?
As a computer scientist and part-time programmer I'm amazed every time when Kripp explains exploits in games. I mean beeing able to bid negative values in an auction house? That would probably have been one of the first things I would have tested after building the thing.
if he gets banned does it not mean they know of the exploit?? isnt the ban knowledge that krip gave them of the exploit? i mean its not like hes hiding it he literally does it as he finds out live on stream why would you bother banning when you could just patch that shit right up? if krip doesnt do the "exploits" on stream would the devs even ever find out about them? or would the people who do them just keep wrecking the game?
I think the word ban is being used in lieu of suspension too much. A ban is permanent and a suspension is temporary. I'm not sure when the terminology changed so much.
Why are they banning people in beta? Aren't they supposed to be finding exploits?
Considering the fact that the Ogre exploit, the GF Damage bug, and even the repeatable quest exploit didnt get any problems, the idea that just exploiting a boss's AI is bannable is ridiculous. I've run Castle Never as well, doing the bugs, and I can say that these are simple AI problems that should have been tested. The fucking spider can WALK OFF A CLIFF TO ITS DEATH.
Wait a second... Isn't Neverwinter in Beta? So Kripp got banned for finding a bug in a beta version of the game? That doesn't makes sense
He says for 72 hours 16 seconds into video. Do you watch/listen to the video before commenting?
Neverwinter devs have already confirmed that they will not do any rollbacks/wipes via a twitter feed.
"didn't mention that you shouldn't eat it"
Yeah great analogy. Except for the fact that the ToS explicitly states not to abuse exploits.
I mean, I can sympathize if you get banned while doing something you clearly don't know is an exploit (or it's vague if it is), but it seemed to be pretty clear you weren't meant to be having a boss respawn over and over in the same run. I don't think any MMO has had a boss respawn... by leashing the adds to reset the encounter no less.
They call it a "Beta" to explain the tons of buggs and glitches in the game but tbh most players consider it to be already released w/o it being oficial.
Huge barrier here, namely in that I haven't taken a programming course and you've failed to relate this argument to the reason why Kripp was banned. Just need some clarification here because I still don't see how any of this info justifies Kripp's abuse of several exploits.
Ok Kripp was in a WoW guild that was known for exploiting a boss. He was banned in GW2 and now in NWN. You guys don't see a pattern here?
Just the fact that you hang with a group of people that 'know' of these exploits and exploit them in games... Man... wtf? You also just told on yourself for running an exploit and also doing it again and got caught. If you'd keep your nose clean and just play the game you wouldn't get banned... No one is ever innocent when they get banned and usually they are seen in the code doing the same thing over and over.
Stop whining so much; you know what you did and the smug look while you made this video shows it clearly lol.
"No one is ever innocent when they get banned" That is just a bold-faced fucking lie.
3 month old statement... The only innocent people are those who get hacked and are caught doing things they didn't do because of being hacked. :P
I smile every time he says "knocking monsters off cliffs..."
Pretty sure if he didn't repetitively use said exploit and reported it to devs he wouldn't be banned.
OPEN beta isn't as much for bugs and exploits anymore and to sit there and continuously abuse a bug/exploit in a OPEN beta that continues on through the final release matters... did you even think before you spoke?
He's talking about being able to bid a negative amount in the auction house to generate gold on the character. It was an obvious flaw in the game that the devs should've been on top of.
Reguardless, Kripp did not do this anyway so that isn't why he has been banned.. He still does not know.
Did you even watch the video?
I did Yoso daily even after the exp fix, gained something like 3-4 levels a day just doing that, not banned yet. I didn't hit max level since it got deleted a few days ago, but really I don't care since I can now play the last 10 levels which is about all I wanted. I have never encountered a more bland leveling experience before, or such a hard pay2win service. Hopefully these last 10 levels, and the areas within, will be something of worth.
So how many subscribers did you get from getting banned ? :D
Most TOSs or Beta Agreements have a clause that says you MUST report the bugs you find or you will be removed from the beta test. That's the justification that's used to remove people like Kripp. I think it's sorta silly, because he's giving them free advertising and his removal just hurts their image, but that's the justification for it.
