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?

In my experience, what happens is the server notices, tells the manager, and the manager shrugs. Sometimes, they add 5 buffet meals to the bill. Other times, the server tells the customer, which is a huge mistake. The customer then complains, and this leads to them getting the 1 buffet meal free, too.

Cvip from 2006 premium all this years i was only for 2 all the rest vip
Pre purchased ravenloft and all the expansions
Bought thousands from astral from ddo store,points,and pots,quest timers cosmetics and what ever you can imagine


The answer is because their customer service model is "shit all over the customer until they leave" or such has been my experience. Essentially, despite being a paying customer who did nothing wrong, you got caught up in a ban wave you didn't deserve, and SSG will do fuck-all about it because fuck you for playing their game.

Its a brutal system.

What servers were you banned people on? As I previously reported, there was/is a paladin parked at the 3BC saga on Cannith, named "Exxxtreme Prejudice", I didn't see other snitches on other servers but it was just a 1 time check.

What we know is:

- Shoemaker stated in a Twitch chat that he wanted to watch people use a honeypot spoit, as I previously reported.

- Cannith is Shoe's home server.

While a witch hunt, it has some probability of Shoe parking a box on Cannith 3BC and reporting people. Is it possible Cannith had mass bannings vs the other servers?

"We are in the process of engaging in targeted disciplinary action against characters and accounts that engaged in a recent exploit that allowed them to complete Sagas and get rewards for them repeatedly without re-running the Saga. Players who engaged in this activity will see one of several things happen to their accounts: We will be issuing temporary game bans, and in some cases will be removing the benefit they gained through this exploit. For our most repeat or malicious offenders, we will be removing the characters that took frequent advantage of this exploit, in addition to more restrictive bans."

Restaurants, of course, live and die on occupancy and reputation. SSG somehow stays alive despite having a reputation for sprinkling shit liberally over the salad.

not they, theyre too lazy and undermanned. they have jizz-lickers for that. just your "fellow" players snitching and sending in screenshots.

your post is the first thing I thought of. I think most of the bans are cannith and gland?

Technomage wrote on Feb 27th, 2018 at 2:59pm:
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.

nope. that is mostly to do with ASAH purchases and sales. they have no way of catching the saga users without some weasel sending in ss and reports. this is the 3rd time they fixed the sagas in the past few months. there would have been massive bans if they had. these bans correlate with the timing of the sploit threads going up on this website, and with the post here of someone using a toon named exxreme prejudice, parked in 3bc saga givers on cannith. yw for the debriefing, arkat.

Nah I used this exploit in December and early January to get my paladin lives done on two alts. Haven't used this exploit in a month, never talked about it in-game or anything like that to get reported. Still got banned. They got some type of logs that are actually useful for them, they can't be relying purely on reports or I'd have been banned either weeks ago or not at all.

Edit: I was on Sarlona and only got banned within the last few minutes. I think the reason Cannith and Ghallanda had so many of the initial bans is they went through their logs server by server.

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?


All he does is type worthless shit so he can read it to himself aloud. I honestly think he is a troll.

Just stop responding to him and maybe he'll stop posting useless bullshit.

there would have been bans in december then. i assume they can check character log once you have been reported. someone who doesnt like you or your guild could have easily just sent in your name. if they were actively tracking it then bans would have went off in dec and jan as well.

If you're right I would have been reported and banned in January. I never told anyone about the exploit after I stopped using, and maybe 3 people I'm close to before then, basically the people who told me about the exploit and we worked out the details together. They probably just didn't care to check their logs until the exploit hit the public and they had to appear like they cared, that's how it always works. When have people been banned for an exploit that no one knew about at the time?

people didnt know about it until it got posted all over here. isnt hard to drop a dime on a person and then have gms check the log. most of the people banned now used recently. seems like you got snitched on recently. this is the 3rd, maybe 4th time they tried to fix it since december. i think it is someone who dropped a dime on you after they saw the posts here.

Exxxtreme Prejudice was a vaultie (not me) who was trying to be funny. I can assure you that he wasn't reporting anyone.

damn. then many people are gonna be fucked in coming days. if they even miss just a few, i lean towards snitching from individual reports, rather than universal log scans.

Not sure how some people can have exploited 17m shards and get a 3-7 day ban - how many lives were gold rolled ?
And then people who claim they exploited sagas once get a 30 day ban.
