I know the blanket ban is a great way to insure you get the dupers but in the process you also eliminate people who have purchased arties 11 without knowing theyare duped. yet because they sold them they get caught in the ban wake. Like the event item and gold check dupes with Manticore and a few others can we be assured the ones who werent dupers be treated equally ? All fairness some people had gold when this happened and bought cheap to sell hi on dif shards resulting in a stock pile of the bad goods that you deleted and baned people on. So will you be willing to put the effort forth to protect those who are only guilty of a good busness with goods they didnt know were tainted?

I say it's worth it!

Cause the next time some dup breaks out.... you can bet the duppers won't be able to sell their dupped stuff soooooo easily!

HAHAHAHA! HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!

I'd like to know if there are any examples to what you've said, cause from what I've seen no one other than the dupers, the major providers of dupes, and the people who "claim" to be legit(even though we know they're not) have only been the ones affected.

Eh, it was only 400 accounts this time around, many of which were caught via sting operation methods (IE, red-handed). I doubt they could have gotten THAT many innocents. If they did, I imagine the reviews process should take care of most of that. [i]

People should have known they were buying duped items because of the very low prices. You should know where an item came from before you buy it. Claiming ignorence when shopping simply helps aid the dupers.

After a month-long investigation and a thorough review of all involved, we:

That doesn't sound like a blanket ban to me, but instead just a lot of people individually getting banned at the same time.

#########################

Yep, very well said.

I just logged into UO, and just realized how hilarious the picture is that went along with the announcement of the bannings. A guilletoine. Classic, rofl.

Whatever happened today... ensure your future as a Luna vendor! Dupped items will never steal your business ever again!



And if you think they might be, drop me a line! I'll be happy to have it looked at :-)

wilki@uo.com

That goes for anyone that people think we missed today.

A lot of good ppl got banned due this mass ban without reason to a lot of ppl, like suspicious. Honestly, that happened. Because a lot of ignorant noobs who dont have idea are criying 24 hours here, because ppl have more money than them.

A good player like got banned - I can name atleast 5 more players: http://www.einert.org/uoboard/viewtopic.php?t=3583

I dont like paranoid ppl who ban you because you have 5 ornaments or 5 inquisitors in the same chest, and they ban you claiming youre a duper, and they have NO WAY to check if they are or not duped, because their pathetic programation of the system. I had around 5 months ago 5 inquisitors in the same check, and I bought them from ppl around other shards.

After this month, I will cancell all my 5 accounts, since I dont want to lose a lot of work because "paranoidism"

What about dupe? The real and obvious duped cloth like shrouds still here.

#########################

The duped shrouds are next as stated earlier by Wilki. This player has been suspended and if she is indeed innocent, the review process will be useful. If she does not wish to contest the decision, that is her choice. A poor choice IMO if she is innocent

If we made a mistake, why don't you send me an email with your account name(s), and tell me why you think you were banned, and why that was a mistake.


and thats not a HALF of whats been posted ,join in [ if you feel like gloating ] ...tabbs

*cringes*
Call me a snob, I don't mind, but after reading the boards linked to in this post (Not stratics), I'm so glad we don't some of those "types" of people here.

*nods*

Too bad Stratics and UO didn't share the same database for bannings. If your banned from UO, you have no business posting trash on any forums.

Now that would be nice.

Wouldn't that be 'paranoia'? Gotta love when ppl try to sound intelligent then start making up their own words.

Main Entry: para·noid·ism
Pronunciation: -"iz-&m
Function: noun
: the state or condition of being paranoid

sry

I am bad at spelling as it is... english as one of my worst subjects so sometimes I make up my own words too get my point acrossed

-RMS Carpathia-

so if your running around with a colored shroud of shadows your gonna get banned?i was told by another player at brit bank that you would not be banned for having one?whats the deal with this?i got one of the blue shrouds for my tamer after being told this but i don`t want to loose my account over it!i even talked to a gm wearing mine!!!why didn`t he say hey thats a duped item and i`m going to have to ask you to hand it over.i gladly would have if asked.if they are gonna ban people for having them they need to say this item will get you banned for having it.or post a notice of a event to turn them in for a full pardon?not just all of a sudden BLAM!....YOUR BANNED.i wish i could get a answer on this because i got too much time invested in my account to loose it over some dumb piece of clothing i can live without having.

I doubt you will get a ban for just ONE item.

There are links on this forum that will tell you more.Just look for a recent thread about banned accounts

well... I for one am glad they did a "blanket ban" those who are innocent should step up and be vocal - stop it from happening the best you can then re-implement the folks that got stuck in the program lines.

Seriously and I've spoken to Wilki about this. If any player has an item, the WORST that will happen might be the items deletion and the player would be "out" whatever they paid for the item. More than likely the solo buyer will be ignored while suppliers were hunted down.

So basically no need to worry about your accounts if you were a single item buyer. Besides if YOU were part of that scenario, you would already be gone. I would also say that if your shopping in Luna, well that city gets a LOT of attention on the vendors. Any new abusers will be found out rather fast.
