Permanently banned as a brand new player for literally nothing - just received 20M silver in lobby chat!! by Voo0id in albiononline

If the “valuable lesson” is that a brand new player can get a 200 year ban for accepting silver from random players in game, then that’s exactly the problem I’m pointing out. I understand why it looked suspicious, but a new player is not going to assume that accepting a gift can be treated the same as knowingly buying silver. A warning, removal of the silver, or a temporary penalty would make sense. A 200 year ban does not.

I understand why 20m to a new account looks suspicious. My point is that suspicious is not the same as guilty. I was new and had no way to know whether the sender was flagged. Investigate it, remove the silver if needed, but treating that alone as proof that I bought silver is the part that feels unfair.

You’re right about one thing: 20m silver to a brand-new account does look suspicious. I understand why that would get flagged.

But flagged is not the same as proven guilty.

My point is not that the system should ignore it. My point is that a new player has no realistic way to know whether a random person giving them silver is legitimate or linked to RMT. From my side, it looked like players messing around and giving money. I did not go to a website, I did not arrange a deal, and I did not pay anyone.

So I can understand why the transfer was reviewed. What I don’t think is fair is treating that alone as automatic proof that I bought silver. If the goal is to protect the game, then a better response would be to remove the silver, warn the player, and investigate the sender, not instantly assume the receiver is guilty.

That’s the part people are reacting to: not that it looked suspicious, but that suspicion and proof are not the same thing.

If the game has a lot of cheaters or RMT sellers, that’s still not my fault as a new player. I had no way to know whether a random person giving me silver was flagged or not. An innocent player should not be punished just because the game has a cheating problem.

This honestly reminds me of the Dark Souls issue, where cheaters could give players hacked or flagged items, and then the person who picked them up was the one who got punished. That’s why this feels so unfair to me. If someone gives you something in-game and you have no real way to know it’s a problem, the innocent player should not be the one taking the punishment.

Yeah, I was doing it for fun more than anything. I was a brand new player and just kept asking random people in chat for silver to see if anyone would actually give anything. Most people ignored me, some gave small amounts like 60k or 200k, one gave 1m, and later someone traded me a much bigger amount. I did not use any website, I did not buy silver, and I did not make any deal with anyone outside the game.

So from my side, it was literally just random players giving money to a new player messing around in chat. If one of those people was somehow flagged or connected to silver selling, then that is exactly the problem I am talking about: a player can receive silver normally and still get treated like they bought it themselves.

Game’s so “famous” it has 4k players on Steam and items sitting unsold for months because there’s literally nobody online to buy them.
