They just unlocked my account.

Guess I'll let my FG sit until I want to go back to D2R, or perhaps d4 when its released.

I wonder what's prompted the sudden change in GGG's stance. They used to be basically not give a shit about RMT, apart from trying to maintain a facade to please normies.
This is going to drive players away, and make trading harder. Like, there's always gonna be ppl who want to spend RL to buy stuff, ultimately you can't stop that and it's good for the game usually. Why this crackdown.
They shooting themselves in the foot. Those who get permban w/ hundreds or thousands in MTX, will most definitely quit, and not give them a cent ever again.

Has their stance changed or have the shop/bot websites just been using jsp more recently or has their bot detection been improved recently?

Their stances hasn't changed, they just changed their auto-detection algorithm.

GGG has always been against RMT, before it was mostly RMT sites that actually advertised in game and was a huge thorn in their side.

I think since a lot of those RMT sites switched to sourcing at least some of their ex from D2JSP users, it caused us to become a target.

I think GGG is doing collateral damage bans. But anyone connected to a RMT trader will be at least locked until they contact support. Who knows how far removed they are willing to go, for all we know they can be going 2, 3 or even more people down the chain.

The main reason why I think they are doing this is because they are giving most of us a free pass for the first lock if we admit not to do it again.

I think in GGG's eyes we are not the direct problem, its the RMT sites that advertise direct money sales. I doubt those guys get a 2nd chance, and they dont care to have them as they will just make another account.

You don't see D2JSP users spamming chat in game to get trades.

I still think GGG has some spys who have accounts here, they can probably sniff out big trades in game when people are posting here they just sold 100 or 200 ex, or whatever.

Unfortunately, and its against the rules, I think trades may have to be moved private with less details in the public thread to ensure another level of protection. But even then, that's not full proof.

Someone is going around and reporting PM trades.. it could be GGG. I tried to explain to the mods it was to avoid being banned but there was no leniency.

banned after I traded with nightwalker96, top1soon and fusereal (at least its the three most suspicious traders I traded with these last days)

be careful

Fusereal is very high risk just by the ammount of trades he does, he's constantly moving 500+ ex almost daily.

traded with him too, guess that's why I got banned as well

did you made an appeal for the ban? I did and I'm waiting the answer of the ggg team
