Discussion - Suspension

[Jlarl]

So, I got suspended for 7 days on one of my accounts. I am not sure what I did that flagged it as cheating though. Is simply using mq2 while actively playing considered cheating?

Random act of Darkpaw Gaming i guess? I've heard it happen in the past. People actively playing suddenly ONE out of 6-12-18 chars get banned for cheating... I think its their "software" picking up something they think is illegal...

Yes it is, as long as you are using a third party tool to control your toons you are cheating, and can receive a suspension or ban if they decide so.

That said, its more often than not people who report you for something, that flags you in the system and makes a gm investigate you, or you missed a gm random say check, this happens fairly often in zones that are known to have botters, which are often the best xp zones.

I think someone reported. The sad thing is that I wasn't even exping or farming the last week. Just doing mpg group trials and DZ raiding with guild. Thanks for help, all.

usually it would be more like something you did 1 to 3 months ago, the report system i think is not like super fast, and then they gotta investigate the case and what not.
