Ah, thanks. Didn't realize that was still an option.

I thought Turbine/SSG inserted code that would detect signs of certain exploitive behaviors and, if memory serves me, they even announced, or at least mentioned, it publicly in a thread/post on the DDO Forums.

Looks like that code has finally borne some fruit.

“But I only cheated a little! It doesn’t count!”

No one cares how you justified it to yourself. Next time, go big or go home.

Did you get banned?

I'm not trying to justify anything, I guess reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. I "only cheated a little" because I want rxp on my main, not regular xp on my alt.

There are people who got multiple past lives using the saga exploit, which means that getting a 7 day ban is potentially still worth it for them since (depending on how quickly they'd have gained those lives without the exploit) they saved a decent amount of time.

My irritation is due to the fact that I got banned for doing something that didn't even help me. Hindsight is 20/20, but given the number of people who seem to get their kicks out of reporting people if I wanted to test an exploit that I knew I wasn't going to benefit much from I probably should've done so on a different account.

I'm also not thrilled that there was no communication from SSG as to how long my ban is.

Dude.  You have posted more times about a hypothetical banning than people who have actually been banned.   How bout you pump the breaks on your SJW "i got banned for no reason" until you know if it has actually happened?

Maybe the stone is supposed to be used as a suppository?

Ok

What a shocking turn of events and not at all what I'd expect from the company that banned everyone who grouped with, shared an instance with, or even looked at an exploiter during that mabar event so many years ago

Again, they aren't banning people for spending money and buying Otto's boxes.  I know you think you have some reason to suspect that is going to happen to you, but I kinda doubt it. 

They aren't banning paying customers.  They are banning people for exploiting to avoid spending money.  (some of whom may actually spend money too, I understand)

If you run a buffet restaurant and a family of 6 comes in and buys 1 buffet meal and then all 6 go and fill up their plates and chow down, what do you do?

What if the same family keeps looking for new ways to get 6 people food off of your buffet bar for the price of 1 meal?  They sneak in the back door.  One distracts the server while the others go to the buffet.  They go to the buffet one a time to make it less obvious.      

Do you keep dealing with the hassle and the time it takes away from your properly paying customers to keep them from breaking the rules because "they are a paying customer" since the buy the 1 meal each time?  Or do you just say screw it and ban them?  Lose the 1 meal's revenue and increase your overall profitability?

Personally, to me, it is like speeding.  Don't get mad at the cop for pulling you over and writing a ticket.  He/She isn't the asshole.   They are doing their job.   You know know the law.  YOu know the risks of breaking the law.  You willingly broke the law anyways.  Take responsibility for your own actions and cut the victim mentality, entitled bullshit.
