Warning for "Grief" Tactics?!

[SturmChurro]

Probably won't. I got a 10 day vacation from here recently when I'd never even gotten a warning here or in game for calling someone a non-cursing name. You're probably never going to know anything further due to their privacy policy since they just stonewall you with policy statements. I'd do the appeal and see what happens, not expect much, and just try not to stress over it too much.

Forum bans are different. They seem to be handed out like candy, and at random. Some people can get by with no issue saying curse words on here constantly, and then someone else will get a permaban for "profanity" for saying something once. You can get banned for slander for wording something the wrong way, etc.. However, an in-game account action is much worse, as these are much more likely to lead to the closure of your entire account. Something many of us have spent thousands of dollars on.

Sorry to be tough on you, it's clearly hurt you and I mean no ill intent at all.

From reading you on the forums for many years you say a lot of good truths, and you have a lot of good points. However, you do seem to have a pattern of rudeness to anyone with sub-optimal performance. Patience doesn't seem to be a strong point with you.



It would be worthwhile you reading back through some of your dungeon horror posts. You will see a number of posts you made that show a pattern that can lead to a greifing report.

Again, sorry to say it. You are a nice enough person, and you do seem to have an incredible number of bad parties, and the warning is sure to sting, I know mine did.

Please don't take any of that the wrong way.

Yes, I have little patience for people with sub-optimal performance. I don't hide that. However, I do not go out of my way to harass or grief them. I say nothing and leave the instance, or keep going with no word said in chat.

Me not wanting to hardcast raise someone, or trying to have DPS uptime, shouldn't result in account action. I am not griefing. If the ToS is going to respect a player who is contributing nothing, and pressing random keys or clicking random skills, and dying constantly, then my own playstyle should similarly be respected.
