My unjustified way into your game blacklist.

Hello guys. I want to start by saying your'e doing an overall great job regarding managing your game in most aspects and I love your game.
As a proof that I believe in what I said now, since early December 2015 I started to play PoE and couldn't stop supporting your company by buying stuff from your store, and playing from that moment until yesterday, when I was buying an EX for 66c on Talisman-SC league when I got a D/C with the message "Your account has been locked'.

At that very second I understood something was wrong since I never encountered such error before. I tried to relog a few times, same error.
Since I know GGG's support team is working great and answering quickly, I instantly sent an Email to get a clarification as for what is going on.

I've been told that I have been blocked permenantly for Real Money Trading.
I cant explain and describe in words the "WTF" kind of face i've had when I was reading this.
Imagine you, playing your game peacefuly without any ilegal actions being blocked, permenantly, for something you have never done.

Now, I'm not aware of the ways GGG detect RMT players, and i'm 100% support banning those guys permenantly, but no matter how I turn situation I end up the victim here.
You might say "yea every RMT'er when he gets banned he will start crying and whining" and the problem is that you are right. I cant fight that, I dont know how. But I'm not gonna give up on my account easily, and will do everything in my powers to get my account back since he was kicked out of the game unrightfuly.

I have slept 60% of the night, while wasting the remaining 40% for thinking of ways to show you that I have never -ever- RMT'ed in any game before. I played Mu Online, Maple Story, Knight Online, RIFT, TERA, Counter Strike GO, Guild Wars 1,2, Diablo 1,2,3, Runescape and many more games, all my acounts are still active and never sold A SINGLE item or currency for real money.

I've had so much plans for my future in PoE, was wasting hours reading on Ascendency Classes (I even made two guides so far and was planning to make another:
SuperNova

I have helped hundreds of players in Talisman league to complete their challenges:

I have invested alot of time roaming the Suggestions forum, including sharing of my own idea for additions to the game, I literally wasted a whole day to come up with Hall of Hate idea:

I have made an Item Filter as soon as it came out so people can enjoy it:

This guys, is how much I love and admire your game.
I will never consider myself a fool, which means I will never risk all this progress I was going through in PoE for some bucks. Thats not me, it never was, never will.

I'm not the type of player who be like "im gna play this game for a couple month, make currency to sell and be gone for good".
I stick to this game, I have hundreds of Exalted Orbs, Chaoses and more currency laying on my standard stash for long months, I never had the will or intention to sell a single one of them.
Contrary, from time to time I used to just look at them, feeling proud as for how wealthy I became and how good it feels to see fruits from the hard work you made in this game.
So what, 50,100,200$ or whatever price you can get from them is something that I will prefer over the game I have played the most?

Wish I know what I can do to guruantee you that I've never done such thing.
I dont mind giving one of you my account to all my online money website (Let me show you the long list of that: Paypal, which I use to send money for people who mix & master my rock band's songs, thats it).

As I stated in the email I sent you yesterday, I live in a 15 floors building, using 2 main routers, this building is inhabited by many players of FPS/MMO games. I dont know, and I will check, if any of them who play PoE decided to go retard-mode and earn money via PoE, I will tell you myself his nick if any of them did so since I guess it has soemthing to do with my IP being detected as an RMT (and I repeat, over 10 gamers computers in this building have the same IP).

In the depth of my heart I ask from you, release my account, let me play. Tell me what I should do, or what would you want from me, in order to sort this out.
Don't put me out of your game, I dont want that. I want to be hand to hand with you guys and your game for a long, long time.

I bought my ascendency pack and I can't describe you how thrilled am I only by typing the word "Ascendency" since it means a new expansion to my favorite game of all times.
In my life I have learned not everything is black or white, don't go "robot mode" on me with an answer like "This are the terms bye".

I have gave everything I have in this post, sitting for 40 minutes typing this carefuly, trying to think of ways to show you my innocence in this matter.

(my real forum account nick is MagicalCrime, since I can't post my email due to privacy etc).

Getting banned via RMT is actually one of the hardest ways to get banned because of the type of info they need so when they do ban for it, it's generally spot on.

Regardless though, they won't deal with it outside emails to you.

If it was something to do with someone else in your building RMT'ing but not on your account then the best you can hope for is that the message would say that there is an IP ban, but since this is an actual account ban it's not going to be that.

Unfortunately the whole thread is pointless as i said they'll deal with it through email and the only response you can hope to get here is to email support

your account doesn't seem to be banned, either it doesn't show or investigations turned out to be in your favour.

regarding ip detection, it's not the public ip they register (doesn't make any sense and the client could also tell them your local ip), it's more likely a combination of your local computer's properties and your poe account info.

Hey mate.
This isn't my real account, my account is "MagicalCrime" (not MagicalCrimee), and he is locked. Can't log either to website or game.

As for my computer propeties / poe acocunt info, I have no idea what in my account info or my computer properties led GGG to the conclusion that I'm an RMTer since I did not make any game-stuff for real money trade.

I'm losing my mind thinking and thinking where or what could cause this action, but not a single clue.

Your original account isn't banned, yet either (otherwise there would be a banned tag) and since full account investigations can take up to a week, it seems that yours is still ongoing. As much as it might suck, at this point there isn't much you can do. Just wait for Support to get back to you.

Hey, thanks for the replay,
However I wish you were right, sadly this is a quote from a email i recieved when I asked why im locked:

"Your account has been permanently banned for real money trading. Buying/selling items or accounts for external currency breaches our Terms of Use and is a bannable offense. "

So, as much as I would like to think that its not certain, it seems like for GGG im guilty.

How ironic I just recieved the Ascendency shirt now:

still think there is an mistake somewhere, maybe ggg mixed up accounts, emails or something.

your original account (https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/MagicalCrime) should state "banned" if they really banned you.

something is not right here.

The report button is absent on his threads, so even though it doesn't say banned, something is different.
