  Hello, I tell you about my case in January I sent several tickets because all the tickets that a support person called ****** sent me closed them, his answers were a copy and paste, after sending a ticket asking for an explanation and/or help because I knew that I had not done anything wrong in ticket #*******, ****** responded first with his copy and paste and then another person responded saying that he would resolve my case and explaining that it had been due to a regular account review that my account was blocked , removed and eliminated the block again, being able to access my account, and now since April 4th the same thing happened again, and again ****** has been responding to me the same thing, and I have had to create new emails to continue sending a ticket since They close them and it says "in the future the following tickets will not be answered" more than a complaint I want a solution, I am a player who has been playing for 5 years and I spend my time on CM fractals, a bit of EoD meta events and a lot of content wvw and I don't understand what malicious thing I could have done to get my account blocked again, is it again an error and they don't want to give me a solution? I await a concrete answer please, if I had done something wrong I would not be claiming so much on my own since it is the only one I have.If you need the other emails from which I sent tickets so that you can verify that I am the same person or the ## of tickets, I can provide them

  I am trying to gather the evidence since as you can understand, they are chats within the game, or when playing a raid or strike or zerg in wvw a group call is used through discord, that is why I am gathering my colleagues to send a ticket as well as proof that they are gifts and exchange, only since I don't have an account it is very difficult to find them and that is if they are not also blocked, Eisfor I have managed to contact and sent your ticket days ago to which they have not responded

  Hello, I am sending a complaint again, to indicate that I have already sent the tests, I delayed trying to contact the contacts that I gave away and exchanged, since since I do not have the knowledge that doing something like this could be considered prohibited (ask several users before and they told me that they also gave or exchanged without having any problem). I just want to inform you that I already sent the tests but it was generated as a new ticket which is #******* or #*******, and I am waiting for a satisfactory response about my account that has spent a month trying to recover it,I also sent the tests here. thank you

  Hello,
  
  Thank you for contacting us about your Guild Wars 2 account. After reviewing your ticket history further, including the additional information you've provided, our decision to close your account has been upheld. The information you provided took place after the account had already been suspended, which doesn't provide us with the evidence we requested. If you're able to provide us with any evidence of conversations that took place prior to the items being sent to the other players, we can review your appeal further.

  I really don't know what's going on with the support, I spent almost the entire month collecting evidence, I had to ask several clanmates to let them know if other people entered the game, but only one appeared and then he also disappeared, I I have played this game since 2018, I never did anything wrong, and this year, without prior notice in January, they gave me a block, which they then said was a mistake and they didn't even say they were sorry or compensation, I was unable to play for ***** days play, and now again on April 4 the same thing happens but this time it was because in your record it appears that I sent 3 high value items to players without obtaining anything, I already sent them the proofs and specified that they were a gift, exchange and raffle, I have sent the proof of the chat that was a gift, including the part where they ask that it be conversations from days before, I sent what they requested, the conversation through discord where I ask them what item they would like to receive, the raffle I also sent, both tests and the video where the text clearly says that he was the winner by coming in first place, and the conversation on discord where he agreed with the friend who organized the draw, the only proof that I have not been able to provide is the exchange of what my item was for another item of equal value. which was a voice chat on discord while we were doing a full clear of the raid, unfortunately I have not been able to find the person in question, I have not even entered the game for many days since I sent him my part of the exchange, I have been here for more than 5 For years playing and loving your game, the only thing I ask is that you review my case, I have not done anything that violates your rules, I have always played outside of what it dictates, always waiting for new content, and that is all I want, continue with my adventure in tyria enjoying the game, trying to get as much as possible for my account, please help is all I ask of you arenanet, as one of its players

  Accounts were blocked due to security purposes, CS refuse to work with me , Not allowing any room of error. I have been playing this games for more than 11 years and suddenly all my accounts were banned without a valid explanation and just a bunch of copy and paste like others has experience. Ask to escalated the matter to a supervisor but email were just ignore, It just really stressfull when you have spending years on something for non-monetary gain and solely for looking to some connection to the world then suddenly they took it away. There were accounts that were unbanned after live streaming their duplicated items and it was very confusing , It was very strange after the discussion i make with people in game and all of sudden my account was banned for secruity purposes.

  Complaint: 21542254
  
  I am rejecting this response because: These warning can be ****** up by using vpn and generate automatically. 

  I am herewith a bunch of discord conversation with a hacker ( at the time I didn't know he was a hacker until ***** post from reddit make me start suspecting) attached.
  A letter regarding my accounts with anet were all banned due to a bunch of recent events, where I got misleaded by *******/Hacker.
  
  In Mid Nov I share the account ******************* to a member from guild WvW that  named himself "MAW" (Together we are unbreakable)[WvW]
  At the time i didnt know he was scammer/hacker so i lend him an alt account to play with our guild for cross region content, As WvW timezone population are heavily imbalanced especially in SEA and ** time.
  
  PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT 0-27  (Discord private conversation between me and maw)
  
  The alt account was rarely used, which lead to emails are not reviewed for months, 99% of the time I am on my Main account.
  It is my responsibility to protect myself, initially I shared the in game account which password was different from its email (and all my other password is different) and though it would be safe enough until it was too late.
  On the 27th of Nov , I have sent an email to ask from my alt to get a revert on server change but it has been turn down because the world is Full at the time then "MAW" transfer my alt to the link server instead.
  
  12th Dec My alt was banned (refer to discord screencap),  I should never trusted "MAW" as he claimed it was an VPN secruity block and he has never experienced such manner and it was only a 3 day suspension so I didn't dig into it,
  therefore i do not know the exact reason why the account was suspend , I also pass on the alt email password to "MAW" after my alt been block  and told him to handle it himself  with customer support . which lead to another huge mistake with totally lack of attention to details.
  
  I was expected to lose the account after discover the post on reddit (******************************************************************************************************) ,
  
  where orlun talk about toker account and at the time i had no clue what was going on , so i start dig into it out of my personal interest. It turns out "MAW" is the person they are accusing and i immediately ask "MAW" on discord about the incident
  (Please see attachement).
  
  WHY DO I TRUST HIM AT FIRST
  
  I am playing the game with an open attitude and assume people were nice all around , especially if he was part of the guild, ( I did not invite him into the guild) and I meet him in the guild. 
  "Maw" happen to show me on discord stream , a video of him playing on an account full of gizmo with his name "Mawhealth.xxxx" on it, which i has no idea it was a stolen account and wrongfully believe it was his,
  "Maw" told me it was an ** account and I dont really know much about it. Therefore i DO NOT know "MAW" is a flagged hot potato from anet since he social engineer toker account (from reddit post) and which could potentially create a dieaster for myself.
  
  After about 20 days the alt account has been blocked again, I just send the account detail via my main email ***************** / my personal email since 2008, Which "MAW" has never has access to and I did not know I have to use the gaming account email to contact support
  to lift the suspension to avoid confusion as long as i got the right account details, as i assume it might just be an VPN security issue and it has happen to a lot of Taiwanese player in the previous years.
  
  "Maw" claim that because he used the word "******" and got my alt banned on the 12th Dec and i wrongfully believe him AGAIN. I was naive that I couldnt tell he was lying to me and attempted to ask me to help him make an appeal 
  as i havnt really though about it deeply.
  
  I didnt get banned at the same time as my alt did, So Im again not sure if it was an VPN caught by system or it was something way way more seriours. 
  
  However 2 months later my main is banned after I tried to log in to gw2 website to send ticket asking about some pve legendary erase item and then proceed of banned without any notice. I haven't read about the email from my alt prior my main was suspended. 
  and it was this time im in deep trouble and hope anet can overlook my problem and solve this with me.
  
  During August 2020, I have contact support to talk about connectivities issue, followed their instruction but sadly no improvement on connection and constantly hit up to 4k ping in 2020, so i then start using MUDFISH VPN in order to get a lower and steadier ping ever since.
  
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  A little extra to proof im not "MAW"  
  
  1. I go by the name bcky in game for many years (since launch), which is my full name initials ***************** *********** (will send ID if needed). According to the ****** post, *** post his own ******* channel with a video playin on my alt account to show support his own ping issue,
  
  however I hav not experience major lag or Disconnection after using Mudfish vpn.
  
  2. The ******* channel Maw used is - ******************************************* (The same one he has provided in one of the support ticket) If you look carefully the keybind of the toon is different from my usual control, i dont change any key from 7-0 on the ********* skills and i played with free camera
  
  
  Me playin with ********* including "MAW" the 3rd voice in this video - **************************** , He able to post this unlisted video in OP discord in order to capped by devo , because i Shared it in WvW discord privately before "MAW" did.
  
  3. Myself also doesnt play Berzerker , im a few trick pony that only play a few class and here are some unlisted video from my own channel that i usually just share within OP and WvW communities - ******************************************* /
  Scrapperrrrrr (*******.com) / WvW vs GD (*******.com) 
  
  Im here in hope that **** can investigate throughly and give me a chance to play the game again for the mistake I have made.
  
  Thank you for reading

  Hello,
  
  Thank you for reaching out regarding your recent Support Tickets - ******* and 9140845.
  
  As we previously informed you on January 24, ****, any purchases made via the Steam platform need to be addressed by Steam Support as they are the entity that processed your purchases. 
  
  As for your account being blocked, we found evidence that you participated in actions that violated our User Rules - namely, being involved in the transfer of a large sum of gold using the in-game mail function, which violates our rules against association with Real Money Traders. When asked for additional information about the transaction, you refused to cooperate. With this being the case, the account will remain closed pending any further information from you.

  Hello *******,
  
  Thank you for contacting us about your recent Elder Dragon Saga - Ulitimate Edition purchase. As our Support Team advised you on 12/19/23 in Ticket #*******, the Elder Dragon Saga - Ultimate Edition does not include the Living World Seasons, and they must be purchased separately. In order to receive the Living World Seasons, you would have had to purchase the ***** Dragon Saga - Complete Collection.

  Complaint: 21028802
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  The purchase was already made because of these marketing practices, and the ** team refused a refund 1 day after purchase because a fictional currency, gems, that they created themselves was used to purchase 1 of the missing expansions.

  Not issuing a refund based on the use of a fictional currency to buy 1 of 4 expansions to make it a true "Complete Collection" is not acceptable business practice.

  I recently recovered my account from the company, I lost access to my email. They were very helpful and walked me through the process of getting my account back, after providing all the necessary information they had enough proof it was me. I then decided to hop on the game, chat to friends, I try to login 5 days later and i have the error 'After researching the provided information, we will not be able to assist you with accessing this account. Any further replies or messages in regards to this account may be closed without a response.' I am unaware of anything I have done wrong, I'm not here trying to get a refund or money back just my account back, i've been playing the game for 10+ years and that account for 7 years, i have good friends there which i cannot contact outside the game. I mostly quit the game and only came back for a bit because i wanted to make sure my account was all good and see how everyone has been but the fact i have been instantly banned without reason. I feel this is unjust.Keep in mind i was not banned, my account was locked for "security reasons" I am not sure if this was a mistake but I cannot get a hold of the Arenanet support for me to clarify any issues

  Business Response

  Date: 10/27/2023

  Thank you for contacting ArenaNet Customer Support through the **********************. I have reviewed your support ticket #*******.
  
  After review, it has been determined that this account has been closed due to an account dispute.
  
  This has occurred due to multiple persons contacting the support team and being able to provide the necessary account verification information to claim access to the account. Once an account has entered this stage, the account is no longer supportable because the account can no longer be secured. In short, the integrity of the account and its login information has been compromised beyond recovery.
  
  Please note that this issue has been reviewed by multiple agents, including supervisors, and due to the depth of analysis prior to the account termination, no additional reviews or appeals will be considered.

  So basically the reason i have lost my account is because YOU'RE customer support cannot difference who owns an account, even though you have my hardware ID, have my ip adress, have my phone number, i am willing to give out my ID AND im an ex e-sports player, i feel this is enough. I have literally stood on stage and played gw2 at your conventions

They didn't even reply to it and close it immediately and merged my ticket to my previous ticket. I provided infomation as much as possible to get back my account, but they replied with just 'After researching the provided information, we will not be able to assist you with accessing this account. Any further replies or messages in regards to this account may be closed without a response.' They didn't explain anything and kept closing my ticket. I don't know why they denied and sent me automated messages like this without any explanation. I had spent many dollars in this game, I can't even get back my account. It's just like a joke.

  Hello there,I want to escalate this issue to a senior GM.My account is banned for no reason today. I would like you to investigate the issue and unban my account. I have been playing Guild Wars 2 for 10 years. Please help me for this issue!My account id was *************. How come should I be a malicious person affecting the environment negatively? I want to raise this issue to a senior GM. You banned all of my accounts including two ten-year ones who paid all of expansions and contributed to the community well in terms of teaching and items almost everyday.Thank you in advance!

  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  They did not even explain why they banned my account. They are constantly replying the same answer via personal mails and comments here. As a 10-year-old dedicated player, I think that I deserve a clear explanation at least and I will let them do what they want as a poor gaming studio.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Meri Uzyn

  I have guild wars 2 from arenanet. Been years since i played, 4.6 to 5 years ago. I no longer have the cell phone that i had when i played the game. My only problem is i had a 2FA on my account, which i couldn't log into my account to ask for help or change anything. Everything arenanet site wanted me to do i couldn't even log in to do. So i emailed for help and they asked me from alot of info. I gave them what i had, name, account, pw, players on friends list, clan members, billing address, character name, account id-tag, multiple lvl 80 characters, have the heart of thorns and path of fire expansions, literally only thing i didn't have for them was the game id from initial purchase and phone used in the 2FA. Let me see someone have the game ID on somthing they purchased like a decade ago. Literally 10 years or something. I played guild wars 2 in serveral different years. How on earth is that not enough informantion? I mean do they have someone else trying to email them about getting my account? yeah i don't think so. Their policies protect them from doing their job. If i had the remaining info they requested, it would stand to reason that they would be left without a job. As in no support help would be needed. Basically having customers do their jobs for them. I've got hundreds of dollars tied up in the game over the years, not to mention the heavy price of the game and expansions they charged, then made item mall game from when it first came out to keep making money. They must have gotten rich of players cause they sure don't believe in helping anyone keep a account. If they are under the impression i'll start a new account and spend money they are dead wrong. I'll go play a different mmo with friends like world of warcraft. Must take an act of congress for a person to ask for arenanet to remove a 2FA from an account like mine where i provided over 10 different types of info to identify me as the owner of the account.
