Here's a tip to not get banned if you have an ip exemption: When you and a buddy are online at the same ip DON'T GO AFK. The risk you run when on an ip exemption is that the Guides and GMs will have their eye on you. I would argue this story 99% can be avoided by playing attentively when you are playing, particularly if you are playing together.
If you do get banned(wrongly) it probably can easily be remedied by 1) not posting in the public forum 2) posting in the petition area and stating your case without being an ASSHAT about it. The Guides and GMs aren't dumb and they are not unreasonable. You are probably not gonna get banned for sitting around casting buffs on your friend as long as you are attentive to your character. Yes if you AFK for 10+ minutes while your buddy runs around it's gonna look like you are two boxing.
Yeah for the percentage of people who have been banned wrongly, if you go about it right I'm pretty sure you will be reinstated.
I cannot stress enough for people with IP exemptions, don't go AFK! You need to understand that you are in a situation that the average player or live account is not, and going AFK can jeopardize the privilege you have to play with 2+ computers on the same IP.
If you must go afk suck it up and camp out, or if you are in a group let EVERYONE know that you are going afk for x amount of time. If it's just you and your buddy CAMP CAMP CAMP. save your own ass.
