Aion: Joking about gold selling earns a ban

Gamer Limit writes "Aion already appears to be getting off to questionable start, not only with our previously reported epic queues, but now players are being banned for merely joking about gold sales.

Below is a copy/paste of the email banned Aion player Redmoons sent us."

Haha, this sucks for that guy!

[evrfighter]

I'm LoL'ing at his un-fortune.

Dude just wasted 50 dollars lol

[yachtsea]

This guy must have been suspected as one of those in-game gold spammers that need to be eradicated! LOL
Though I've heard a lot of those whose accounts got banned because of bot usage and buying aion kinah. Some sites like http://www.epictoon.com which is trusted in this RMT industry has been life-saving whenever situations do not permit me to spend much time to play and grind but in need of aion kinah for my gears.

Yet another reason for me to not play MMOs. Sounds like a ridiculously oppressed environment in which to have "fun".

[Nihilism]

yep, you play it for 6 months, spend hundreds of dollars on it, only to get perma banned for some b.s and you have nothing to show for it...

[ReservoirDog316]

Reminds me of this for some reason.

God I miss the old simpsons...

[StartWars]

They clearly want noone to play it.

[Vintrus]

It's probably a good move, it shows how serious they are taking gold farming

[Chris Vass]

Here comes the banhammer..

[Yuenanimous]

Seems fair to me... I'm sure it's in the EULA

[dktxx2]

Joking is against the EuLA? Any moron could tell he was joking. Chinese people don't type million as "mirrion". they just say it that way.

[TheGameLlama]

No jokes! This isn't N4G! Aion is a serious game full of serious people. They shouldn't even call it a game anymore, since the point is obviously to not have fun.

They should call it "Communism: The Experience!"

[Lumpyguy]

Really now?

[raztad]

@Lumpy

You owned the guy.

He is talking about something he doesnt know. Well done.

[Marquis_de_Sade]

Idiot, you made a complete fool of yourself there, next time I suggest you only use words you know the meaning of.

[Xiru]

*Looks at the Aion add banner to the right of this page as I type this* Yeah i've played many a good MMO in my day, starting with the original Everquest. It is very easy for me to say I will pass on this game. Gameplay is boring and they are banning for joking. It is time to call in the fail boat!

[Mutley416]

If gold cant be passed back and forth...the the game is not worth playing...So they basically can`t stop farmers. They should think about how many copies of the game they could sell to Farmers...or people who like to joke about farming-

I play WOW and Farmers are everywhere...it really does`nt effect the game play...

[lucifon]

Lol questionable start ¬_¬' Aion has had one of the smoothest Western launches in MMO history. Yes there have been queues but course there are on launch night! The night an MMO launches is quite clearly not standard player numbers, everyone is piling on at 1 period of time to play.

The dude only got banned because no doubt some douche reported him. I'm sure if he gets in touch with them there wont be any quibbles. He also has no direct quote to what he said.

[mortalrage]

LoL Well at least I'm having a blast in Aion xD. I think this story is being told halfass.

[DirtyLary]

He should be happy the did him a favor. Now he wont waste his life grinding out abyss points like all the other suckers.
