A friend of mine was banned just recently (perma ban). he was on his cannoneer last night and we still do not know what caused the ban.

It said that he was hacking/botting, but he has NEVER done any of the sort. The only thing he usually has open are Steam (which he plays from), and youtube.

Someone might have also falsely reported him, but I guess that could possibly go into a different thread.

Something has been up with various pirate classes lately which I am not sure if they have been fixed, but he was on his cannoneer last night and it appears (after some testing from another friend) that cannoneer's cannon blast may be hitting more mobs than intended which could be the reason why he was seen as hacking/botting which is something I know none of us have done.

Edit: So my friend isn't the only one this happened to on his cannoneer after checking some discords. I'd advise avoid playing pirate classes (explorers specifically) as there could be certain bugs that might get you falsely banned for hacking/botting.
