I'm posting this again because my question wasn't answered earlier.
I was blocked yesterday, and I don't know why. I got off, went to work, came home and was blocked. I have no problem with being blocked if I knew I did something wrong/said something, the problem is, I can't recall anything that would've got me banned. Could I get a response as to why I was blocked?

They're using the banhammer because people are being dicks? haha that's pretty funny.

And said people are claiming they are "innocent." This is fucking magnificent, thank you for posting it Adli.

This is kind of a weird situation. If every game banned players for foul language how many gamers would there really be? Not very many is the answer.

still, pretty funny

swearing or insulting others/rude names get a 72-hour suspension and a forced name-change.

racism/hate speech and gold-selling get bans.

Oh wow, a company that actually enforces their in game censorship. Pretty nice if you ask me.

yeah I agree. It's a refreshing change of pace. I think it's good that people that constantly talk trash/grief and spout insults/slurs get taught a lesson.

If you act like a douche canoe then you don't get to play games.

What if you're jokeing with friends though? Seems like it could be more harm than good.

You shouldn't be "joking" with friends in public chat. Use guild chat/PMs/party chat for that.

Oh ok if it's just public it makes more sense.
