Guild Wars 2

Account Blocked for Security Purposes Lead to Banned
I dont know what to say
They said i got "We have reviewed this account and found it participating in, or directly associated to, high risk or malicious behaviour."
What is this participating mean ? does it count if i somehow doing Fractals or Raid with someone doing it while getting me Flagged ?
Im not even Farming gold to sell it, i want to craft legendary by doing Fractals and Raids every chance i had
I stream every chance i had at Youtube to Memorize it

This is the last time i played before got blocked
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzyxrtFL398
this one is the other day before it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htBAaoVM-sw

I still dont know what they mean by participating in ?
i mostly do my stuff with Pug on lfg
even when i do join Static , i still on Training and i always not accepted at it
and last week was join Guild Mission with VIP (Vengeance is Perfect) at North America server

what is that high risk and malicious behaviour ?
i still dont know it
I even buy gems using my Steam Wallet
not try to buy gold or sell gold if that is what makes me got flagged
I never know such answer by support like this

i just want to get my Weekly Raids and this Accident Occurs
just hope could get a better game that support player
than just banned people without sense like this

Im playing at Indonesia
its known as people with many farmers, does share country with mostly people makes me get banned?
i know people at facebook group get banned, because they sell gold
but me ??? im just a small streamer that try to living up memory on Guild Wars2
getting this banned by nonsense from system because flagged with whatever they accused at me

i cant get better ping for this game at Indonesia
get arround 190 - 350 ping everytime i play this game
never ever mad of it and just accepting the ping while enjoying the game
got a lot friends in the game that make the games feels so fun
doing wvw , fractals, meta, and even raids with friends i meet ingame is fun
but the system choose to banned me because i got flagged by the system for malicious behaviour

i had so much experience in almost any MMORPG
but this is the first MMORPG game that banned me
i play Black Desert Online, World of warcraft, Runescape, Albion, FFXIV, ESO, Vindictus and so many more. I even play some Chinese game like Revelation Online, Three Kingdom and any other MMO out there

Cant recomended this game because they will banned people with what their system believe, They will stay to it no matter what
keeping environmet safe for player is what they said for banned me
while i did nothing wrong and enjoying game

Its my fault to enjoying such a good game with bad detecting system
im not even mad, just disappointed
my 682 hours is wasted by system that can be fault as proggram and flagged me

Most likely scenario is that you have used an VPN and someone else have been flagged as cheating or whatever
So when their automatic system bans those accounts, you will be hit by that as well

If this is the case, simply contact Arena Net support
They will most likely restore your account

Yeah im using Singapore VPN from Hide.me
Was appeal to them i use VPN for better connection
since my Internet Provider had not Good Connection , especially for GW2
but they reply :
"Hi,

We have reviewed this account and found it participating in, or directly associated to, high risk or malicious behaviour. In an effort to maintain a safe and fun environment for all of our players, this account has been closed and is ineligible to be reopened for any reason, under any circumstance.

The decision to close this account is final.

That is why i make this thread,
still try contacting them with every info i had for my account
they accused me for something i dont do
Joker Apr 23, 2024 @ 5:02am 
Well sad if true, but no one here can help you
Only Arena Net can
I don't think they read these forums either
Did you tell them you are using VPN?

Yeah i tell them in my first ticket
Joker Apr 23, 2024 @ 5:11am 
Yeah try contacting them again
Worth a shot at least, even though their message sounded final
But you never know, worth a shot I guess
Hope you figure it out

It's too bad you can't ask them to prove what you did. It seems they have no proof and don't want to look into it at all.

yeah, that was sad
They didnt give any proof and accused im participated on it
Not even had chance to get warning or something if there was a mistake
1st block for security purpose and then banned permanent

seeing other case with this
there are so many people like me on the forum
some of them never logged in and logging back to know their account got banned
some of them got dc and then get banned out of no where

Hope they make a person do that banning a thing
Cant believe machine with that much players to be reviewed
Some of them will legit and some of them will be mistake

hope arena net seeing this

It's usually because of VPNs. Ideally never use a VPN for an online game.
I get if your behind a government firewall and need to hide your connection, but beyond that, a VPN makes things worse, not better. Your comment about the ping is confusing to me because your bad connection would have gone through however many hops to get to the VPN, an end point, and then out again to the anet server. So a VPN should double your pings.
You can think of it like, imagine you are driving across the city and you need to get to the other side. Which is faster, driving straight there? Or driving to your friends house first, borrowing their car and then driving to your destination just so the destination doesn't know what car you drive.

GW2 support is notoriously bad. Demand they escalate your ticket or you'll just keep getting copy + pasted responses.

Just move on, it’s one of the risks playing an MMO/server based game. Especially with a company as questionable as Arena.net.

You will get bans in their forum for literally anything they decide, they put words in your mouth and twist facts. I wouldn’t be surprised if the in-game moderation wasn’t much different.

You’re collateral damage, as long as there’s X amount of gem sales a month they don’t really care about single decisions. Especially when they know that the individual is from a country that has no agreements and doesn’t offer consumer protection like the EU. If you paid the games or anything with credit card I’d actually report a fraud case and charge the money (all) back.

Some of the smaller companies actually think that just because it’s “the internet” and a “video game” laws and rights don’t apply and that they can do whatever they want.

yeah that is classic corpo BS for security purposes, they avoid talking about it cuz social engineering, malicious actors can trick em and get valuable info about how to bypass, break security so they avoid giving any specific reason.

also all this eula, tos etc yada yada allows em to shutdown any account for whatever reason no argue, period, i had a fight with multiple blizzard fanboys cuz Blizzard changed EULA locking ppl out from account and more and if you read those eulas careafully they can close accounts and ban you with no liability no chance to argue nothing.

Make some noise in the GW2 subreddit, tbh this is unfair, im sure they have the logs and ip info, you have your account info and credentials etc this corpo trash makes me sick, blizzard does the same they even perma ban ppl for dumb things like insulting ingame, they wont give you a reason so dont insist asking em for proof or what exactly happened, they wont tell ya due security concerns, Tell that GM that banned you that you want your case reviewed by a higher instance, that all you did was using a vpn and explain why you used the VPN, Tell em you know that they know you didn't nothing wrong other than use VPN.

seriously this is massive dumb thing, Arena Net, your algorithm or whatever is the thing they use to ban people sucks so much. Go ahead go to gw2 subreddit, 600 plus hours to the trash just cuz their disgusting security was triggered by something beyond your control.

Find more threads in gw2 reddit about accounts being blocked for the same reason, see if theres any case a precedent where such ppl was unbanned and use it in your favor.

Nah, the bigger ones are the worst offenders, right down to Valve trying to pretend Steam only "licences" you to play the games; you don't "own" them.
Might fly in the yoo ess of ayyy, but not in the civilised world.

yeah i make it on subreddit too
https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1cb2uht/account_blocked_for_security_purposes_lead_to/
Im still cant know how could they didnt respect their customer at all
even though this is my first block that supposed to be warning for whatever im doing
and it seems just VPN violation for me
its not breaking law if mention their Terms and Service

Might had to move on and play a game with better customer service

if you said that, its about the publisher which publish the game
some game from Bandai and others Big publisher usually make you "own" the game
I had so many games that already delisted from Steam
some of them are Big Games like Jump Force and some of them small indie like papapub
i dont think steam making it, its the publisher choice to delete it from people's library

but the banned thing was made by the publisher itself
steam cant help anything about that

as LSD mentioned and the ppl in the reddit thread, ask for your ticket to be escalated, tell em u have been a legit player, that all billing info, account info, serial codes etc are yours and most likely this is a "mistake" cuz you haven't been involved in malicious activities. using VPN shouldn't be reason to perma ban someone that's absolutely dumb specially since many many MANY people use vpns in gw2, if that breaks ToS or EULA's it shouldn't be reason to perma ban players, what a disgusting action.

Ppl have been banned cuz bank or paypal rejected a transaction yeah just like that, perma ban account into the trash bin cuz bank for whatever reason made a mistake and payment was rejected what anet doest next? ban you booooom!!! absolutely mindblowing, corpo cant get away with it, that being disgusting ubisoft, blizzard, EA not even anet they better check this carefully cuz can't recommend a game that bans ppl just like that sending automated useless mails with pre-made text.

Hec i would buy the game for ya, its dirt cheap worth peanuts during sales but the way they track and associate things??? sounds like i could probably get banned cuz i bought a key for a stranger and the stranger triggered some security thing and anet automatically considers every single actor involved guilty and ban ban ban omg 🤮😡🤬
