Seems I have been banned from Scarlet Blade. The reason? "constantly running around naked" I recieved this recently ( I thought it was a forged email and replied to it either way and told them to F off becuase I was using what they provide in the game )

From ScarletBlade.EN
We have had complaints that you have been constantly playing the game without any kind of coverings. The "Lingerie Unsealer" is not meant as a way to play the game naked. The description of the item is
"The Lingerie Unsealer unlocks your starting lingerie so it can be removed. Taking off your starting lingerie allows you to put on other lingerie styles that look sexy and give you an HP and SP boost."
The game is not meant to be played without at least some sort of lingerie on your avatar. Please do not play the game totally naked as we recieve complaints from other players.Thank You,
Aeria Games Support Team

After I replied to this (quoting the above) I was banned from the game (can no longer login,)
I'm now totally annoyed with this and Aeria Games can stick it. I'm SO glad I never gave them money.
No matter. I get my Guild Wars key tonight. Later.

Could you post your reply? That would likely shed light on the ban.
It seems pretty obvious you were banned for your reply and not running around naked. Unless, of course, you ran around naked after the warning.
[mod edit]
what? it says planning she was banned for running around naked.
Didn't you have to pay for the unsealer? I thought it was cash shop only. Anyways, I would raise a stink about Aeria not letting people play the game nude if they want to. Probably gets in the way of their pay to fap model.
I think the biggest issue is that they banned him because they "Got complaints from other players". Really? The game is rated M and it's not known for it's gameplay. I would take this to reddit, youtube and wherever else you can bring down Aeria's name. They really suck as a publisher anyways.
If you didn't have to p ay for the unsealer, I think it's worth for people to go in and run around naked just to see if they will get banned.
I can't be bothered taking time to trash Aeria, I have better things to do. I got the unsealer for doing a 'free casino signup" for 1400 AP
I have my GW2 key now they (Aeria) can stick it. I CAN assure you I won't be promoting Aeria game to anyone.
So, they are sending you e-mails, telling you that you are abusing a tool that they put into their own game? So, you can actually use this tool to become completely naked by means of a designer made tool? Am I getting that right? Shouldn't they look into ways to prevent players from becoming completely naked in the first place? Isn't that a mechanic design flaw?
For a game that promotes sexually oriented material, you'd think they wouldn't care about this. I really don't know what to make of it.
The irony of this is just...scandalous hehe.
I am not that surprised. I suspect that the M+ rating, while toons don't show actual nudity, is all just a selling point to attract teens. But at the same time safe enough to not get the wrong attention of authorities. Therefor any behaviour that might lead towards cybersex will not be tolerated.
Those ratings are kind of silly to begin with if you look at how violence is treated. The whole idea of sex is worse then violence is laughable.
What's even more surreal is the claim that she was banned after the GMs "received complaints from other players." Let me get this straight -- someone playing a game like this, a game pretty much sold on sexual innuendo and showing off as much skin as the ratings board will let you, complains about seeing naked (save for a few strategically placed scales) characters running around?
Even better, check the description OP posted
you pay for remove the lingerie which "allows you to put on other lingerie styles that look sexy" (Lol), but if you think it only allows, (so it's not mandatory) and don't put on anything, they ban you.
Man, Aeria is hilarious
Here's a quote from a Aeria GM posted on a thread talking about this.
"Lol. Technically, bans are not to be discussed on the forums here. However, since no ban actually took place, we can discuss it.
Simply put - this is complete bull-honky. Someone's just looking to stir up some controversy, or maybe get some attention.
Either way - Scarlet Blade is a Mature Rated game. It is NOT against the rules to run around naked, and no one has EVER been banned for "constantly running around naked."
Still, good for a laugh!"

Wait... what? No no no no, that can't be real... what?
I'll try and come back later. I'm to shocked I can't even laugh at something that if true is just hilarious.
lol
Hilarious and sad at the same time.
Another studio on my ignore list ^^
which one of their developers working on this project argued that this wouldn't happen?

One could be called finite, the other infinite.

an infinite game for the purpose of continuing play."

Ooh, hey, the daily SB thread. If no actual controversy exists, just make something up.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
Screen shots or it didnt happen...
I mean...
NM...
I got banned from League of legends for doing too many pentakills.
I got this email....

Hello Summoner
We have received complaints that you do pentakills several times a day, this is seen as harassment and is not allowed, please read our "You're too good at the game and should let others win sometimes" ruleset.
Because of several warnings regarding this, we are forced to remove you from the game.
(Account name) banned until 05/22/2033.
Thank you for understanding, and thank for your money.
League of Legends support.

This coming from a company throwing kid-porn around here?
How ironical.

I know of sites where people blast people who report. I think it's very evil someone is able to report someone for example "running around naked." I'm a prepper and that's not someone I would support nor care about.
These are the kind of people I wish something would be done about...permanently. I've read that one of the new games coming out has a Strikes system where you get a strike both for reporting someone and the reported person. Makes reports more meaningful.
It's about time someone taught reporters a lesson. Who is so priviledged as to report someone for running around naked.
I have a weapon system over the doorway to my house w/ the firing pin out and people "report me" all the time. Then I get the phone call from the police...which is nothing more then a "hey we got a call...."
It really seems someone should quell the reporters or at least the number of them. I added a few known reporters in DCUO to one of the reporting websites just to blast their names.
I will never support freeloaders, no more subsidized gaming.

This would be the equivalent of someone getting banned in a Final Fantasy game for riding a chocobo. This is completely ridiculously. Shame on you Aeria Games.
