On May 20th, Winkz and Bravious were banned by Greeley for Bug Abuse. I wont go into details about the bug as I do not want people to knowingly use it. I must stress that we both know that the GM's do not make up these rules, they just enforce them.The actions made were completely wrong as we was never given any warning to show that the bug could potentially ban us. Also, we was sent a link to information referring to the bug - after the banning which is completely useless. Inside the link, the posts were atleast 2-3 years old which means that Nostale has had this time to fix the bug , but haven't. Why should us players get banned for coming across this bug, yet there has been no indication of bug fixture at all? its absurd. I speak for not just Winkz and Bravious but for anyone who has been in the same situation and say that this is not acceptable.

We both admit on using it (without knowing its a bug) , however we should be given a warning when encountering this bug that it can harm your account. Because we thought this was a legal way of earning money, we never looked for a forum page regarding it. Even if we did try to find it, the forum is filled with different threads and pages that it would be quite unlikely that we would come across it.

We believe that a permanent ban on accounts for this problem is unfair as this is easy to come across. We don't intend to beg Greeley for our accounts back, but we do intend to negotiate on a temporary ban since this is a more suitable solution for first-offenders.

If a GM does see this, please take this into consideration and I hope this will change the rules of banning people for bug abuse.

The response to this campaign has been overwhelming and it shows just how many of you feel the unfairness of this situation. I am exhausted by the constant stonewalling from the team but your persistence gives me a reason to keep pushing forward.

They where not aware that this is a bug that is punishable. Seeing that this is their first time and now they know i think a temporary bann is in order. Not a permanent one...

I don't really think a permanent ban is Suitable for this kind of Situation. These people didn't even know this kind of bug was worth a permanent ban. Furthermore they didn't even know they was doing this bug was Legal, so why should these people be banned for something they didn't know? Its just not right. In addition the Nostale team had 2-3 Years to fix this bug but they didn't. Such an event wouldn't even take place if this glitch was fixed earlier. In my opinion this ban shouldn't be worth a permanent ban but instead a Temporary.

I beileve in our argument as loyal players to be given justice and that the game should be improved and bugs should be dealt with with Game Updates so that future players will not be able to make this mistake in the first place and take the pressure of GM's for having to deal with this unfair case multiple times.

I really agree with this, GM's should atleast send you to the GM Room for a warning if you have been identified as using the bug.
