Banned for what exactly?!

Please don't act like BHG is correct 100% on bans. I can cite several examples (including CS responses) that admit they were wrong. The policy of the decision being "final" and refusing to even discuss it with players is not good, considering errors can and have been made it the past. The company at least owes the player a conversation explaining the ban, and letting the player explain why they think it is in error.

Hello all,


We don't take banning lightly. In fact, we make 100% sure before dropping the hammer. Without your UID, I'm not able to discuss what was done on your account. We're 100% able to tell if someone is using an exploit and our team will take action on accounts caught doing it.

If you feel your's was in error, hit me with your UID and I'll review it.

How can I find my UID when i can't get passed the banned message screen?

You should see it in the corner of your screen as soon as you load the app. If not, please provide your game name and alliance name.

Frankly, if I have done something wrong I don't know what it is, which makes it hard not to do it again. In any case, I don't believe I should have received a ban.

i wish i understood what this exploit was so i could avoid it, and not accidentally get banned.
i would simply not use the 'victory chest' at all now for fear of a ban, except it's graphic is prohibitively annoying.

from now on i will say a prayer that my conduct is correct when i take from the victory chest, and hope i deserve it's wealth.....
... then i'll ABUSE MY NIGHT WITCHES HAHAHAHA.... drat. sorry. got carried away. but if i were banned for that, after all the drama about it, i'd probably give up and go outside. *golly*

There has to be a bug for it to be possible to exploit. There being a bug does not mean you're not at fault. I don't know how this one works though, so I'm not judging your situation.

Lol, what a joke...

Veldan i don't know how it works either, nor do I want to. My only advice is don't bother with the chests or you might get a random ban.

We don't need another witch gate...

Making use of an ingame bug is like getting too much change from a shopkeeper. It's about morality. Would you give back the extra money? Would you walk away and keep it?
Just because you didn't create the bug doesn't make it right to use it. However, using the bug doesn't make it wrong either.
It's up to the individual but you shouldn't be banned if you didn't purposely create it. Is Nexon going to ban all the people that have been exploiting the night witch bug? I don't think so.

How about when you didn't know there was a bug and you didn't know you were using it??

Those who had the Night Witch knew what they were doing. I did, and still do not!

A guy i know was banned for 3 days because, quote, "he collected more stags than he could". he had 3 workers free and stags kept spawning, what was he supposed to do? when i have 3 workers and a stag i collect it.
For what i know if you don't collect your victory chest for days it will keep showing 0/15 after collecting it until you collect all the days you haven't before.
is it what happened?
I agree with those who say that when a player gets banned he should know the reason and should go after cs to know what is going on.

No idea what happened. Casually raiding, got banned. I don't recall getting 10x whatever payout the chest supposedly gave me in 2 days. I play at low medals so any payout is small anyway, i wouldn't have noticed if it had.

Nb4 has looked into it, and given me all the info he can, which is not a lot - just that there are very specific steps to make it possible for it to payout more than once a day. I explicitly do not want to know what these steps are, but if collecting it as normal can cause a bug that ultimately results in me getting a ban, i won't be collecting from it again - it can flash at me on 15* all it wants to.

Which contradicts heavily with his "Every ban is 100% legit" statement earlier.
If he provided you the steps on how to exploit this bug and you never followed these steps nor even collected 10x a victory chest, that "100%" seems a bit off...

He didn't provide me the steps, so i honestly don't know what actions i did that could have resulted in this from happening.

Herein lies the issue, how can we avoid causing a bug, or exploit (call it what you want) to result in suspicious behaviour and a ban if we don't know what it is.

If there's a known bug or exploit possible by accessing the victory chest, why has this not been disabled like they have with other bugs?

Ultimately, i only have 1 day 12 hours of my 3 day ban left, i'm not so much bothered about the ban any more. As long as someone is listening and will actually pass this onto the "crack team of developers for resolution", i'm not bothered because it will eventually be fixed and my 3 day ban will have helped everyone!

For the record, i do think Nb4 gets a bit of a hard time on the forums, ultimately he's the messenger for the devs sometimes and can't often do anything to help directly, such as in this case for me personally. I believe he told me all he could in relation to my ban, and i'm not expecting it to be overturned - just to understand what i did to cause it to happen - so i can avoid doing it again.

So far the only truth i know is that if i don't collect from the victory chest, i won't get banned for collecting from the victory chest.

Ridiculous BS. A player banned for a bug he claims he does not know HOW it happened or how he did it. I have seen this enough to know it should have been fixed by now if it was an issue.
For sure, I don't even know how many times I collect it, kill animals or God knows what else. If I see it popping, I'll just collect. I do not want to have to keep excel sheets of the times I harvested my victory chests or how many stags I killed from 0200 to 0730....... This is ridiculous.

Nb4powerup Then, why have all those night witch losers not been banned for 3 days each time they have spawned their bugged NW and stolen peoples hard gained oil??
