Re: A Contest to celebrate the New Site Launch

just mq2 with enough plugins to run the kissassist mac.. so I'm not sure wtf prompted that. The only thing I can think of but I'm 99% sure its not it was i used the quick temp compile that was thrown up after this last patch before the official RG mq2 went up.

I've always used RG compiles for the past i think its been 5 or 6 years maybe more. this is actually my first suspension, I used MQ back for monkbug and nodelay, and well never ever got caught but /shrug 7 more days and i'll be back up and running mq2 kissassist on my tank so i can chain pull... im chalking it up to a freak accident.

The odd thing though, is i was told that it was detected on the 8/5/12 that i was using it however I did not play EQ on either of my suspended accounts on those days what so ever.

You have any ideas teichou?
 
Moved this post out of contest.

The test compile was no different than the regular compile except for 1 little fix and it would make no difference in what is and is not detectable.
The only ways to get suspended that I am aware of is using /icamp or you get reported from other players.

Does anyone else have your account info?
 
1 other person has access but he has not logged into it in prob 3 months, and I know for a fact he does not use MQ at all.

I do no AFK botting in the ideal thought of hours on end. I have at certain times turned assist on my ranger when in a group to go make a sammich~ but its all autofire no movement nukes etc no more then 1-2 min at a time max and no ones ever said anything ( at least to me or in group chat ) So I'm def perplexed but meh its not the end of the world.

ohh and on a side note about the date I was told it was detected on.... when I log on one of my many other accnts and check in the guild window, my last time online was 8/4/12 never on 8/5/12 with either of the accounts that were suspended I provided a SS of that to SOE, however all they respond is "you will have to wait out the duration of youru suspension and we will not discuss this matter any further with you."... which still stries me as odd due to the fact that they have not provided me with anything about what they detected or why they say i did something on a day i never logged in on.. etc ohh well
 
ok, not 100% sure but this is a possability also when i was GM on most of the eqemu servers what i did was i watched the people (this was a random basis and i would watch 1 person for a week or two, very long process but it for the most part worked) what i looked for was routine actions IE only pulling npcs that were LOS or only medding if you were below a certain percentage. i had to find some pretty good evedence that they were using a macro (one good hint was how long they spend doing the same thing each time they were logged on and how long were they logged on for IE if your on for 8 hrs exactly 4 times in a row my macro would say "HEY! something is fishy here...." by the looks of it, kissassist is a very good macro, but it has a flaw of not being able to set how long till you want it to take a break, ie set a counter so that in 8 hrs it will automaticly camp you to character select, wait the desginated time, then log your character back in. this prevents most gms from figureing stuff out i had mine play for 4 hrs, camp for 8, rince and repete :) worked like magic and never got caught... i'll send maskoi (unless he reads it here) a msg and see if he would intigrate something into kissassist to help do this...

hope this helps you
 
Kissassist is in reality a semi afk macro. I personally never advocate afk macroing because any thing can happen when you aren't there.

100% agree, now that said back when people were running rampant with nodelay and monk bug in open zones, i used to AFK macro my original bard nonstop.... and i mean non stop he was afk kiting 7 days a week 24 hours a day for almost a month in the same spot people saw him they knew it but they didn't care cause I wasn't destroying raid mobs, now hell someone see's someone they suspect is using mq they freaking blow their top at least on my server.

Kiss i typically will run on 2-4 chars at a time but I'm always actually playing on 1 with mq2slave going and they echo all tells to the char I'm primarily on so i can response accordingly. Although I'm having Bard and Ranger HS withdraws.. MMM HS with a BOTD and 25% over haste ... /orgasm on!
 
no clue then, it was just an idea on why you could of been suspended... next idea is they are using /peek onto your screen and seeing that your using mq2... not 100% sure if this is possible but it was a big gime rumor for a while.... or your backloged from when warp was first broke... not 100% sure if they just banned everyone at the same time but this is a big possibility since ive seen some gms wait 3-4 months before dropping the ban hammer on someone
 
*correction* at one time it was real and now its been removed from the game...

what /peek refers to is a gm command that allows the gm to emu your screen on their screen... back when it was active gms busted lots of macroers just by seeing if they had mq2 loaded... not sure what happened to them doing that but it was a very aggressive way to get rid of mq2.... and ended up they just quit doing it..... i personally haven't ever been a gm on a eqlive server so not too sure what they can and can't do... it was a suggestion that i randomly thought of... in the end... i call it a freak accedent and wouldn't think that it would happen again to the same account unless theirs some gm out there that just really hates that account for some reason... (most of my accounts that i had were banned very fast since i pissed off a few too many gms lol)
 
I think they had something like Warden that scanned active memory on your system. The judges came down on SOE for privacy violations so they can't do that anymore. This was back I think even before WOW was around.

I am still not sure how Blizzard gets away with it since it does violate your privacy by looking at applications and even memory scans on your personal computer. If a hacker got caught doing this they would get fined or even serve jail time.

"We put a feature into 'Everquest' that was scanning background programs to find people who were hacking and cheating in the game," said Chris Kramer, director of public relations at Sony Online Entertainment. "We did it the wrong way. We put it into the game without alerting the player base first. We apologized to our user base and promised that in the future if we looked to use a scanning program, we'll let them know ahead of time."

Blizzard gets away with it because they ask permission when they have you agree to their TOS and EULA. You cannot have permission to use WoW unless you give them permission to spy on you.

^ this.

I keep clicking on these thinking 'oh shit folks are getting banned' only to see the post is well over a year old.

I did something like this, but what I did was set it so when my Monk runs out of ammo she sends using eqbc, commands to /end and then /camp desktop. That way I can control how long they play, by how much ammo I give my monk.
 
malphual will you please stop bumping ancient ban threads? It freaks me out every time
