A note on AFKing in battlegrounds

[Concillian]

I plainly disbelief you on this one.

1. A GM will never ever discuss with you an account action taken against a third party. He won't be GM for long otherwise.
2. GMs don't have the power to issue perma bans. Anything that goes beyond a three hour account suspension has to be issued by a seperate department: the account administration. These are people that specifically investigate accounts for TOS violations and take appropate steps.

Believe what you wish.

How can I make this stuff up? I was as surprised as you at his response. Perhaps he was a special GM, I don't know. He certainly didn't speak like any of the other GMs I've spoken to. And when I PvP, I speak to 2 or 3 a day reporting AFKers, so I have some experience with how GMs 'usually' act. Anyone from a different department is still tagged as a GM... did you ever see the thread one the guys who were using glider bots getting banned. The guy who was banning them had a GM tag, and apparently he was:
1) rather creative with his pre-ban discussions
2) almost always it was the same GM

I know what was said to me and I repeated it to GG as it was happening. I literally cannot understand how you would think I could possibly make up those comments... or that I would make them up and post them here.
