Punished it seems for actually Supporting Digital Extremes... (Disclaimer. This is background of my emotional reasons for this)

[Blackstrider]

So I was punished with a 15 year suspension by Digital Extremes for supporting them. After 6 years of loyal fandom I decided to show my support by taking the plunge on Prime Access. Not a even week afterward I was shocked to discover my suspension when I attempted to show even MORE support by getting the Prime Vault access. I figure what better way to show how much I support and believe in this game than to put some money on it?

I reached out to Support and put in a ticket because I thought this had to be a mistake or error somehow. That was more than two days ago and no one has replied. Those two actions were the only significant things I have done on my account in Support of DE and this amazing game they have created.

I have no hacking/ cheat tools/programs or data mining software/programs on my computer and nor have I ever in the past. I have never obtained anything in Warframe
by any ill gotten means. I even have brought hundreds of people to playing Warframe through exposure on my twitch channel with many of them going on to pay money further supporting DE and Warframe.

I have never taken a bigger step in support of this awesome game even though my finances are tough; than I did just a week ago to show my support and almost immediately afterward I am placed on a 15 year suspension for what appears and feels to be no apparent reason?

Is this how you Digital Extremes treats the people who adore and support your vision of Warframe? And is there anyone else who has had this happen to them as well or am I the only one? Feeling betrayed here... I really am. I know this will probably fall on deaf ears and I doubt if any of the devs who may happen to read this post would do anything about this because I'm certain they would place more belief and estate in whatever program or algorithm or bot or whatever they used that did this.

As the days go by without any response I am beginning to lose any hope of ever getting my account back and see 6 years of invested time and dedication vanish literally overnight... I don't know what to really feel at this point, I just want to be heard, if by anyone at least. It doesn't make any sense. Why would DE do this?

You cut your flow of thought off short. The person you are talking to just pulled the "free speech" defense on you, anz you are choosing to leave various arguing points open to interpretation. It is as though you want to talk to a brick wall and be treated like a buzzing fly, despite the halfway efforts to help OP. Pick a road and stick to it?

Also Steam forums are not public domain, your 1st Amendment rights do not apply here. Not that it even matters in this context.

That free speech crap is a non-issue. I'm choosing to ignore it.
I'm the one who started with "Shut up with the unnecessary parts of the OP", I'm not here to be swatted like a fly. I have a spine, thank you, but I also find it unnecessary to butt heads right now beyond what was already say.

You dont get it. OP dismissed you earlier and, with a specific example, I was hoping you'd see that using open-ended statements is just enabling them to misinterpret what you're saying. For instance, why is a post from 2013 irrelevant? Might be obvious to you, but you have little awareness of those you are in a dialogue with...

In fact, if you are merely scanning comments I am certainly the one talking to a brick wall as I dont write small ideas over a large series of words and will not be reduced out of sheer laziness of some fellow in a place where nothing matters but their ego. ♥♥♥♥ I was hoping to see growth. What do you call this

There are two narratives: Things that happened, and things that didnt happen. Why do you choose to believe the less likely of the two, psyching yourself into anxiety, and baiting yourself into this dangerously misguided public rant? That's the real loaded question here.

I didnt read any comment btw sorry if this is ill timed

All fair points. And I will happily respond in kind:

I am jaded, manic-depressive with severely trust issues and I suffer PTSD from my time in the war in Iraq. I tell you this not for any pity or sympathy but I am prone to emotional outburts such as these. Warframe for many years has really been only outlet and I have been involved a very supportive group of friends from clan who have helped me through some of my darkest hours. Its not so much the game the family I have been accepted in that i cannot play with that is most distressing. Yes, the fact that I paid 150 dollars and was immediately banned for whatever reason, not only preventing me from playing with some of the closest individuals I have been able to open up to since losing my brothers in combat all those years ago.

Warframe in that sense has been my anchor, and has quite literally saved my life.. I tell you this not because I hope that you will somehow eschew the berration you have given in your long post, trust me I have seen, experience and dealt with things far worse in my past. None of what was said upsets, angers or dismays me. I have come to expect nothing but the worst from people in general save for a few. I appreciate your own convictions as I am sure you have your own reasons, experiences and stances for why you are, the way you are and why you responded to this post in the manner you have.

You might feel that a grown man harping on on how one little video game keeps him centered, and grounded, and so and so on. We all have are vices and our muses, we all have our little slices of happiness in this f***ed up world and among all the f****ed up people like myself who live in it. In the past, I have been guilty of making the mistake of not saying anything and keeping all the things inside and it has cost me dearly over the years, I've learned to express yourself and just say whats on your mind, regardless of silly, stupid, pointless or a waste of time it is. What's important to me is to just get it out, and I do that. And will continue to do that. With troll comments, self-righteous folk giving their two cents and people on their high horses and soap boxes turning their noses up and looking down on other folks for speaking on what they feel. Thats ok. When I was a solider, I fought for the rights of people like you, gave my blood for it, seen some of my closest comrades blown away for it. You are free to say whatever you want to me in any way that you want, because that is your right, and if I had to go back and do it again, I would gladly fight and bleed for your right to say it.

I know this was a bit long in the tooth, again I dont expect pity or sympathy. I would just like you to at least attempt to see past your own biases and see things from the perspectives of others who may not be a well composed or have all of their emotional and psychological ducks in a row as you may have. But thank you for your reply, and do have a nice day.

OP, your main vice seems to be personal insecurity, cause I dont give a flying ♥♥♥♥ what you do or say in real life. The thing you said here, well you have my thoughts.

Also, anyone can make an excuse for emotional outbursts. They are just you, and making excuses for yourself is showing extraordinary weakness. If you saw what you say you saw, remember that has nothing to do with anything you'll ever be expected to discuss on the internet. Nothing at all.

Hey! I haven't gotten a ban myself but maybe I can help you with this little thought that came to my head when reading your post: Bans are most likely not auto-reply things since they are less grabbing logs and more verifying if the reason person was banned is true or not. I don't expect you'll get a response soon with the PoE Rework causing so many issues (Only ever got a response to my own TECHINCAL ISSUE ones once a day or two) so my recommendation is to take a deep breath,calm down,and play some other games while waiting! I do have to ask though: Why include so much about how you've "supported DE" by buying things and streaming? I don't deny that you have probably helped a tiny bit but in the end it's not something relevant to the subject nor is it relevant to DE when it comes to handling tickets,maybe it's an aside to say to the tech who tries to help but to the people wanting to help,well it's just weird fluff,I'd say put it all in one spot and put a disclaimer over that section that "This is background of my emotional reasons for this" or something similar

Well this is very emotional, and emotions do not run on the same lines of logic and objective reasoning, because it just that emotions. But good idea about the disclaimer bit, I'll use that.

I'm pretty sure this guy tried to revoke the payment and got banned for it.

OP seems to be the kind of person who likes drama. I'm not sure why did I even bother opening or reading this thread.

[orangebish]

Sorry, but DE only cares about money, they don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about your support. My advice? Cancel your purchases and don't ever give them any money, they don't deserve it.

If you ain't gonna bring anything to this discussion but some conspiracy theories or your delusions (then again what's the difference), i'd ask you to leave.

You mean, like your delusion that someone hurt me? I'm afraid, you should leave based on your own standards. Otherwise, you're a hypocrite.
