Suspensions and bans

Warp detection for example has quite a few false positives

Combine this with devs not really understanding how their own (emulated hehe) game works, and yeah, bad times for the playerbase. For example, I was presented with logs of two things for my ban: using a MacroQuest command to succor myself in Lower Guk and using MacroQuest to /target mobs in Kedge. Now, the most important fact is that I wasn't using MacroQuest, but even if you didn't believe that (and I of course have no proof), there were huge problems with the accusation. First of all, I died in Guk, and it wouldn't make sense to die if I just had some magical /succor ability. Second of all, it was over Christmas vacation and as I was on shared internet at the time, I was having horrendous lag issues. This wasn't even the first time I experienced this bug; die in a zone you're bound in with really high latency, and you'll respawn at random locations instead of your bind: succor, 0,0, etc. A bug that I had found, reported, and yet I was banned for it.

The Kedge thing was even more ridiculous. Everyone knew that Kedge was super buggy, apparently besides Rogean. When asked why I would only be loading MQ to /target in Kedge, a zone I only spent time in occasionally to beeline for a Phinny kill and gtfo, Rogean had no response. When asked to present me with logs of other people who had been in Kedge to see if they also had a lot of reported MQ /targeting, Rogean had no response.

So according to Rogean, my only uses of MacroQuest over several months was to /target random hammerheads and shit in Kedge for absolutely no reason, and to /succor once and only once in Lower Guk, after I had died, which would require a MQ plugin I've never even heard of.

As Judge Judy says, if it doesn't make sense, it's horse shit. But unfortunately we don't have Judge Judy on the staff.
