Banks have never been treated as individual accts and suddenly now they are. Terms of Service States: [OTM] may in its sole discretion provide you with support services related to [Celtic Heroes]. Such support services may be reached using the [Celtic Heroes] [in-game] support tool. [OTM] is not required to provide Support Services unless otherwise required by applicable law.
This isn't the first instance of the players getting shafted on a bank situation. In another instance, OTM catered to 1 player rather than an entire group. If nothing else, common sense would tell you 1 player would not have accumulated 100s of event drops. Terms of Service States: [The player] [agrees] that [they] have no right or title in or to any such content, including without limitation the virtual goods or currency appearing or originating in [Celtic Heroes]...
1.) Conflicting argument.
Servers experienced weeks of tremendous lag out of the blue for weeks and some of them for months that ruined plat items from hundreds of players. OTM was okay with players that spent money on the game or spent their time farming for gold to buy lix and have them ruined and do nothing to return the ruined items. This is the same as stealing. But are sure quick to ban players that duplicate items. It's a shame that players that could duplicate the plat items that were ruined because of otm would get banned. OTM has a double standard of it's okay to take from players but it's not okay for players to take from us. Terms of Service States: [The player] [agrees] that [they] have no right or title in or to any such content, including without limitation the virtual goods or currency appearing or originating in [Celtic Heroes]... [OTM] expressly disclaims any warranty in, to, or for [Celtic Heroes]. [Celtic Heroes] is provided ‘As Is’ and ‘Where Is’ without any express or implied warranty of any kind. [The player] may not exploit game data or bugs of [Celtic Heroes]. [OTM] may, at [their] sole discretion, immediately suspend or terminate [the player's] access to [Celtic Heroes] should your conduct, in [their] sole determination, fail to conform with these Terms or those of [their] additional policies. [OTM] may elect to terminate this EULA and [the player's] rights in connection with [Celtic Heroes], if [OTM], in [their] sole determination, ...[they believe] [the player] [has] failed to comply with the terms and conditions...
2.) Oversimplification of 2 linked events; the first was an unfortunate side-effect of necessary updates that, while it did hinder gameplay, was acknowledged and eventually resolved with ample information provided to the player base, while the second consisted primarily of players knowingly exploiting a bug in a game-breaking manner.
I'd just like to see the developers treat others as they'd like to be treated.this is what they mean when they say "consult Terms & Conditions of Service"
if you can read this Zyz, get rekt T,T Mods, I put some thought into this response; make sure he reads this before it gets deleted. Copy/past into a word document if you want the full discussion.
Actually otm have for a long time claimed their game can't be hacked, that people who think they have been hacked were lying. Well now maybe those people were actually hacked. Everything they have claimed now is in question. They were treating banks like 'clan' accounts before - now they are 'individual accounts'.
And even if a few did exploit it, the issue is with mass banning and not having the man power to process the inevitable appeals - the support, lack of communication, lack of reply.
This bank did not dupe or hack, and we can't even know if we got duped items because as I'm sure you can appreciate we have dozens of players bossing and donating and asking for items.
The lag experienced on Fingal was extensive, generated many resets, and went on for months. We knew they were finally taking it serious when muldar logged in during a gele attempt and saw it for himself. However unless you went through it yourself I doubt you can appreciate just how bad it was - yet for the most part we stayed. A few quit sadly.
Could possibly see more of that over this situation as well.
The ball is firmly, rightfully in OTM's corner. I'd like to see them get things back on track.
