He maintains - and I believe - that he was falsely banned for macroing on 6 accounts, one of which he was doing a job on (5 were his). He levels accounts to 99/99/99 attack/strength/defence then rents them as staking accounts, he had a batch of them banned along with Huggers account. Seems like they just were viewing NMZ, said 'There are 6 fucking people with granite bodies and d meds in world 369, so they're clearly bots' and banned them all.
Then Hugger bugged the shit out of Mod Weath on Twitter until Weath TL;DR said 'Yes, your botting ban was for botting. You were botting the day you were banned' which was used in the SA of proof of botting (which usually cannot be proven) then they took Huggers 3200 Castle Wars tickets at a 2.X
billion evaluation, which came out to paying like 60M/hour for when he did Castle Wars since he did it while it was abusable and they valued tickets at their current value, and ordered Dave to repay 67.5KFG.. and ofc that shit wasn't happening. I wouldn't have paid it either tbh. The SA mod that handled it didn't know shit about the game and didn't even listen to Dave's side of the story.
And Dave offered him like 26-30K repay instead of 67K and Hugger told him to get fucked, so it's not like he didn't try.
Also I've screenshared with Dave in the past and can confirm that when I was, he wasn't botting. And TBH I'll take my memory + Dave's word over Weath trying to get someone off of his dick.
Having really enjoyed my time in the S/A aspect of the forums, I'll say that it's generally very well ran - especially when Skip and Ras are involved.
The fact that the castle wars tickets were misrepresented when price checked is a bit disappointing. Having said that, Dave (if he hasn't already) can contact an SA mod to have it re-price checked given an explanation of the circumstances. The S/A always wants to get things right - and the team is extremely careful about doing things properly. Combined with the WAIL (why am I locked) - their goal at the end of the day is to be fair, and try to facilitate a repay if the user is willing.
I'm sure given the explanation of a miscalculated price check, and the willingness of Dave to pay what is to be commonly accepted as "fair" (30k ish), progress could be made and this thing could be fixed.
Anyway, that's not what I came here for.. originally wanted to say
GZ ISHya fucking monster, you ..
GL on your future goals and adventures
