Responded to your PMOk well I hope this post is ok here. I just came back to UO after quitting in November 2006. I shelled out over 100$ to get the two new expansions, a 7th character slot and 6 months game time. So I read up on stratics how to train ninjitsu (trammel, in town, not in a guild) so I was training manually (with UO Assist) for about 2 hours a day trying to push for 120. Each day for three days naturally people reported me for unattended macroing without bothering to ask me if I was there. A GM opens a chat with me and I of course respond right away. So on the fourth day, someone reports me I assume, but I finish and go on a different character before a GM responds. By the time the GM responds, I was on my fisher getting ready to fish for a bit, and stopped to take a potty break (with NO active skills going). I come back to find a GM chat open and say hi. The GM doesn't respond so I go about fishing while I wait for a response. About two minutes later I get "you have been kicked by Flippi", and get an email saying I am banned for 48 hours for macroing. What kind of nonsense is this?
I mean seriously, I paid a good amount to come back. How stupid would someone have to be to macro unattended IN PUBLIC? That is like paging a GM and asking them to ban you. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm calling EA tomorrow to argue my situation with them. If previous GMs kept notes on my account they will see I responded promptly every previous time.
