Hello Everyone
I just got banned right now for unknown reasons, supposedly, for "exploitation".
Now, I am unsure what that would mean, so I will detail everything that happened in these two hours since launch.
Made character, finished tutorial. Me and my two friends, we went as 3 into the Black Zone, farmed some fame and silver.
Fame farm ended when I got killed by like 30 players. classic albion BZ moment.
Once in town, I invested silver into crafting myself T3 leather armors + T3 wargloves.
We went out again into BZ, farmed a bit more fame, and went into Avalonian Roads. We ganked a squad of two players, on which I commenced the attack. Instantly, as I pressed W (triple kick wargloves ability), I got disconnected and banned for "exploitation".
Now, this makes no sense, right?
I can only think of two reasons for this:
- I was mass reported when I was killed by that mass of players
- I play Path of Exile as well. I had an app, called "Awakened PoE Trade" - this has no malicious code or anything that could be flagged as exploitation, the app is available on GitHub along with its source code. It serves no purpose in Albion, I just forgot it open in background.
Note: I did not have a "different" location than the one I usually play from (no VPN's used or anything) nor have I ever been flagged/banned for anything. I did not write anything in chat either and I have not abused any system or mechanic within the game (there probably aren't any haha)
I want to know if anyone else had this happen to them?
I left the devs an email. I will update this post as I figure out more answers. Thank you for reading and please write here so that the devs are aware of any possible issues or ban abusing from other players.
EDIT:
Ok guys, I've been unbanned and heard from the support:
As u/AscendedAO said, the anti-cheat went crazy. If anyone gets banned like this, contact support and they should fix you pretty quick.
