Banned for doing PD on multiple alpha accounts

[Grayhaven]

I don't want to take too much of your time with my rant, so I'm gonna cut it short - they banned me because I created several accounts on different emails and used Project Discovery on those accounts. Apparently I violated EULA 6A3 because of doing things this way:

"You may not use your own or any third-party software, macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play. You may not rewrite or modify the user interface or otherwise manipulate data in any way to acquire items, currency, objects, character attributes or beneficial actions not actually acquired or achieved in the Game."

Anyway I just wanted to let you guys know so you can avoid making my mistake. Thankfully I didn't spend much time and money on this predatory trash LOL.

Cheers!

You seriously don't see how they banned me for activity I could happily do if I gave this company my money by buying premium on all my accounts? You seriously don't see how this is wrong?

Nice TikTok video or... whatever that is. Bye.

Here's the thing with Project Discovery:

1. If you have Omega, you can happily do it on every character. Every char has their own limit.
2. If you have Alpha you can do it on one character only, even if you have several accounts registered on the same email address.

3. What I found out is when you register accounts on different emails (just adding "+001" or whatever to one email works too) you could do PD on 1 alpha character per account. Unfortunately they decided it's also a bannable offense.

I'm not here to get rowdy, I'm just stating that what they did is wrong. I didn't cheat, I just used a "pattern of play", as they stated, that they decided is bannable for Alpha but not for Omega.

Are you always this rude?

I can do PD on whatever alpha I choose without a problem. obviously you cant log in more than one alpha at a time or you would break their EULA and get banned.

the thing is you got "You may not use your own or any third-party software, macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play. You may not rewrite or modify the user interface or otherwise manipulate data in any way to acquire items, currency, objects, character attributes or beneficial actions not actually acquired or achieved in the Game."

its not about doing PD on alpha accounts but it looks like you got detected using a macro or bot to do it for you.

They literally deleted all my 12 accounts and only left my Steam-connected account, stating that I "repeatedly violated EULA 6A3". They didn't tell me anything but that. I assumed it's because of me doing the PD on those accounts.

I didn't use anything but the official launcher, which I obviously cannot prove to you that it's the case. Hence why I wrote this topic, for people to be cautious when doing stuff like this on Alpha accounts. If it isn't about me doing PD on those accounts, then they literally deleted my accounts and banned my main account for nothing, which is even worse.

CCP doesn't like Alphas, it is known.

PS and I didn't multibox, I did PD on one acc at a time.

I don't know that they don't necessarily like alphas. Who they probably like more than anyone else, is players who are whales on the cash shop, because that makes them the most money between that, and the subscription fee.

Macros aren't cheating. I feel you. Next time use a sandbox.

[Grayhaven]

What I literally did was:

1. Create an account.
2. Create a character, log in, put skills on my queue. (I didn't even hide or anything, all my characters had the same surname, because I didn't think I'm doing anything wrong.)
3. Do PD until I reached a limit.
4. Log off.
5. Repeat 12 times.

All those accounts were 1 day old, I didn't use any cheat or macro or what have you. They didn't warn me or anything, I just tried to log in the next day to do my PD session and all my accounts were gone and my Steam account was banned.

If you don't believe me that's fine, but that sh1t is the TRUTH.

I'm telling you, be careful when planning on using multiple Alpha accounts to finance your Omega, they don't like that.

Your beating a dead horse - "I don't want to take too much of your time with my rant, so I'm gonna cut it short" you keep adding to the chain when you summarized all that needed to be said in the first post. Time to move onto a new hobby or activity.

It's me, the OP, only on different account. I requested the deletion of the previous one.

I was butthurt about the ban but I took your advice and moved on to new activities, bought Krita (digital painting software), downloaded some game making software and I'm going to move into game dev territory.

Life's too short, never again will I waste my time on such predatory Skinner Boxes like EVE where they can ban you on a whim.

Cheers! and if the GM who banned me is reading this - Thank You!

good luck
