So this is a mini rant about my own stupidity, and to some extent a passive rant about the NGS system which doesn't seem to stop bots but does trigger on non botters.
I've been saving and saving my override coins for this last saturday, huge blow out on multi toons for me at the discount shop was planned.
Today I am experiencing major slow internet speeds, the kind that just #$%^ you to tears, I logged onto maple only to get DC'd and without thinking I logged back on (without exiting launcher) and I don't know about you but for me when I do this it can trigger NGS. I have been so diligent fully exiting launcher after DCs for YEARS since the last time I forgot launcher does this to me but today, because I was distracted with my @#$% ISP, I just relogged without thinking and within mins, not even 5mins I got DC again and the NGS warning pops up....
*mentally kicks self multiple times*
freaking out (like you do when you get a NGS in error) I have now spent all my coins in case I get an auto ban on me over the weekend.
I have no doubt tech support will help me unban since I wasn't doing anything wrong (I've logged a ticket just in case covering my actions in those first 3-5mins), but I'm just so so mad that I've now wasted all those coins in the fear there will be a ban over the weekend (last weekend with the shop discount) it's the ultimate mind game and it's peeving me off big time. It's like I wasn't doing anything wrong BUT since I got NGS there is now the possibility of the auto ban so may as well buy all those rings/cubes/chairs/etcetc now just in case I have to wait until appeal day to get back in.... but then there is the chance no auto ban will be placed so i could have just wasted all those coins.
so mad at myself! honestly I'm so mad at myself that I didn't fully exit launcher, you have no idea
