Hiya,

I was wondering if I would eventually get frozen for blocking the url's of items that make a loss in a shop?
For example blocking the image url of every item in the magic shop except MP's. So I can instantly see them.
Is it allowed?



just blocked a few so you can see what I mean, maybe everybody does this idk.

yes you can get frozen

If you even have to question the consequences it's probably a bannable offense by the NPT.

I did it for years, never got banned.

No, Neo has said in several articles it is ok to use adblock on ad's they never said whether or not you can/cant use it to restock. Therefor its not ice-able. Now posting screenies like that on a petspage they can report and u can get banned however.
Also you can turn your java off and the popup goes away.

this is 100% wrong

both of those things neo has said is not allowed and you can get frozen for it

they just suck at catching people

Just to confirm about java..

Found this from an editorial,

I have recently noticed many restockers get iced. When restocking if you have ja va disabled is that considered cheating? ~zlqqlz
Yes, disabling ja va or images while restocking is considered giving yourself an unfair advantage over other players, and is not allowed. Even though it's a browser function and not a 3rd party cheat, it's still not allowed. Just like opening 100 window tabs and hitting "refresh all" Trying to get Random Events will get you frozen faster than you can say, "Geraptiku" (or figure out how to pronounce it; one or the other). Don't get paranoid, though! If you don't know if you disabled ja va, you most likely haven't. This question probably doesn't apply to 99.87% of you, so don't fret about it if you have no idea what we're blithering about here.

I think the main question to ask yourself is this: what's the likelihood that they have the technology needed to track your blocked image settings, and more importantly do they have the ability to tell between who's using it to cheat and who simply has a certain feature turned on in their web browser. There would be a lot of unhappy players if the staff banned everyone with adblock, especially since this rule is not made very obvious to casual players. I don't think it's something you should concern yourself with too much. It's the exact same thing with Starcraft 2 portrait boosting. They say "it's against the rules and a ban worthy offense to purposely lose on the ladders." Yet, at the same time, no one has been banned for this reason, because Blizzard, while they have the technology to track losses, don't want to ban people who just happen to suck at the game by accident.

They can and i know people who have been iced for both adblocking images, and for disabling java.
