One would guess they will do some kind of modifications to the accounts over this 1 week that they are banned. I'm sure they put a team on those accounts to go through them within the week and remove excess credits / items.

They know some people obviously did this vendor thing to get 100+ million. I did it myself to get about 5 mil and stopped there, along with some items I bought.

Well I for one kind of regret doing it, I didn't even get that much besides all bag spots and 500k since I discovered the exploit within the last 40 minutes of its existence.

Apparently I've heard that people that now have "RED" names on the Kiosk info were the people who got caught with a ban/suspension. Might wanna check it out if you have an alt character.

He probably means the GTC terminal (auction house). If you have items up, your name is red I'm assuming if you're currently banned/suspended.

I'm not sure if our names will remain red, that'd be kind of odd.

It is rather lame though for them to broadcast to the whole server who is banned/suspended.

Yes, so !@#$%^&* lame. I'm glad I was a loner and only had real life friends on my friend list.

168 hours? Just enough time to log back in and pay them for resubs.

They didn't want to pass up the few thousand dollars (at least) @ 15/month (at least for 1 month subs, more for 3+) that they'd lose if the bans were perm, since we know a ton of people did this one.

That info was on the public non-members section of this site, and many others, and floated around guilds. A lot more people probably did this than we think considering how easy it was. It's not like you had to install packet sniffers and other manipulation tools.

So, who is going to be the guinea pig and pay the game resub fee when this ban is lifted to find out what they've done to our characters and their inventory?
You can't unsub at the moment, you're banned from using that feature :/

I'm going to go ahead and let it go through, it's only $15 and I highly doubt they'll strip everything we have or roll us back because most of us have obtained gear that wasn't bought or gotten with the in-game currency.
