A few years ago, there was an huge issue related to the use of macros in KR server. After that, PA made a definitive change to the terms stating `regardless of the frequency or benefit gained, macro user will be get permabanned.` Is there a reason why an exception should be applied to Hwaryong?
@devilfire2688 ай бұрын
If he wasn't streaming, and if your toxic community didn't push for it he would never be banned. Hell, PA even cleared him at first. It was your baby rage community pressure him to get banned due to a clip with a macro with NO, i repeat, NO actual usage on the game. Hate will generate more hate, so just keep doing what you do. Maybe sometimes it will come back at in force. People use macros for work, video editing, so on. If those people accidentally hit the macro in game they can be perma banned. Are you aware of the repercussion of that? You talk about "reason for exception", i bet there are a lot of korean players that should be banned if you follow the same rule you forced upon that guy. But since there are no clip or video to punish them, they rule doesn't apply to them. Because, like I said, the macro used in this case is just so damm stupid that only morons like some of you would believe that it's a reason for a perma ban and a person to lose YEARS of work for.

Modern computers apps need macro's for NON - GAME Productivity. That is why an exception should be made. BDO TOS concerning the use of macros (WHICH provide no in game profits) is outdated. I am not saying Macro's used for benefits in BDO are OK, but to extend this such your computer cant have any macro's just to prevent you from accidentally hitting a macro in BDO. Our computers should be productivity tools not dedicated game machines devoted to BDO.

13:43 7-day-ban is not for using macro. That pertains to misuse of the marketplace system. But you are saying "WAIT, WHAT? EXCUSE ME? THIS GUY MACROED FOR A TRILLION SILVER AND GOT A 7-DAY-BAN?" again, that 7-day-ban is not for the using macro. On the other hand, the ToS explicitly state a zero-tolerance permanent ban for the use of macros.
@soobin_i8 ай бұрын
Further explanation on this matter: PA lacks the capability to accurately detect hardware macro usage. Therefore, a zero-tolerance policy on the first offense has been implemented. On the contrary, misuse of the marketplace system is easier to determine through access logs and IP logs.

@@HateHoloOf course not. However, as I mentioned, PA cannot able to detect hardware macros. Hence, a strict one out rule was established, and so far, regular users have been dealt with that rule. There's no reason to apply a different rule exclusively for Hwaryong. The primary issue lies in the excessively simple, repetitive grinding system (which you can even use macro) The secondary issue is the incompetence of PA in detecting these macros. But there's no problem with the Hwaryong's permaban itself.

Simple issue. He failed to vindicate himself, got permabanned. When examining the log where he claimed to have been recorded on the keyboard, it appears too contrived to be trustworthy. 1) The recording on the keyboard contained numerous terms used in the game 'Lost Ark', yet the usage felt completely unnatural, raising questions about the necessity or plausibility of such word arrangements being recorded or used in that context. 2) he clearly opened mailbox(B) but `B` key was not recorded at all.

If you think so, there is this bridge in Brooklyn I wanna sell you for a good price. 2) PA was perfectly willing to go with a less extreme measure than a perma ban in his case. All he had to do was apologize and act nice. His response was I'm gonna sue EVERYONE. Not even just PA. He was threatening other streamers and content creators. He thought he was too big to fail and acted a fool. And PA let him get away with a hell of a lot before this happened. 3) It's not a witch hunt. Basically, everyone went nuclear AFTER he started to threaten people with litigation. In KR, the litigation culture makes California look downright reasonable (and we allow thieves to sue the homeowner if they get injured while breaking into their house).

No...if they have proof of RMT, you get perma banned. Those people got temp bans and silver penalty because they are just suspected of RMT. Macro use has the same thing.

Hwaryong, despite there being hard proof that he did use a macro was gonna get the temp ban for not proving you didn't use a macro originally. Than he got lawyers to sue PA and other streamers and content creators. So PA went with the hardline, we have proof penalty. And lets be real, even if there was no perma ban for macro use, as soon as you hired lawyers against PA, PA could and would just terminate your account. No company is gonna let you continue to use their services after you hired lawyers against them. And really, the KR community didn't go crazy against him UNTIL he started to threaten to sue them. KR civil courts makes California's courts look reasonable...and California allows criminals who hurt themselves while breaking into your home to sue you.

Aside from that you should always be careful online, especially if you are streaming, you should not leak any information about anything you want to keep private, there are consequences of what might happen next. Btw Blue, about the thing you mentioned on your keyboard that you said that it is like a 'Macro' thing, I don't think that is considered as macro, in my opinion that is called 'Hotkeys' or 'Shortcut Key', if you have a certain program or application opened on the background (e.g.: your screen drawing tools), you set hotkeys or shortcut key to them so when you press those key/s, then it will trigger the said function. Macros on the other hand is different, it is much more complex, this is used to automate repetitive inputs on your computer (scripts like), unlike hotkeys/shortcut keys which is for single input/triggers only. I don't think you will get ban for that.

mhhh thousands of hours , money spent , even having background and entire career about this game and get perma banned , not like some months of ban but PERMA , i think it's too much especially if dude didn't made it on purpose , but it's also weird that his keys have macros already set to it tho, even if this one clip is an accident , it mean he still have macro set to keys on this game , game is trying to punish peoples who abuse macro because they have advantages and he had some set so i can understand but i wouldn't say a perma is what he deserve at all, also he didn't used it (yet at least) for money farming and others peoples made billions with macro and got either nothing or few days ban , just unban this dude PA!

He ABSOLUTELY set the macro for BDO use. No keyboard comes pre-loaded with macros...and even if they did, there is noway it would be specific to BDO for the Musa specifically. And if he had it set up, you don't think he used it? If you believe that, could I interest you in a bridge in Brooklyn? Here is how things work. If they have absolute proof you did RMT or macro use, you get perma banned. If you are suspected of doing either AND you can't prove your innocence, you get the 7 day ban with silver penalty for RMT and 1 month ban with macro use. Despite definitive proof, PA was willing to give Hwaryoung the temp ban because there was no proof he used that macro for silver gain...probably because he was such a big streamer for their game. There was SOME complaints in the KR community about this since with proof he should have gotten perma banned. His reply to this was to get lawyers and threated to sue other content creators and streamers and even PA. That is what made the KR community COMPLETELY turn on him and what made PA go with perma ban. Civil courts in KR isn't a joke. He went nuclear...so everyone else went nuclear. He deserves his perma ban. Blue got so many things wrong in this video. Yeah I understand a lot of the info is in Korean, but he really should have done more research...especially since the banning procedures are the same in both KR and NA/EU...and well all regions really.

Question though... why was he using macros anyway? Even if you have the macros programmed for another game, why risk it? It's like an athlete getting caught in possession of PEDs going through airport security. Even though you tested negative, why are you even in possession of them? "Whatever man, I don't use macros to play BDO... except when no one is watching." 🙄

You can use macros for a lot of other things my dude. It doesn’t even have to be a game! But even so, who cares?! The only reason this got any attention is because losers have no time on their hands.

"We here at PA let cheaters run rampant and our economy in most regions is entirely bot-driven, we don't care if you cheat... Oh, what is that you say? A popular streamer who said bad things about our game touched more than one button with his headset accidentally? Yeah, ban him permanently!'
@ColdNapalm428 ай бұрын
The key was that one of those button was a macro. And he didn't say bad things about the company was the issue. He threated to SUE THEM. PA was willing to go with a temp ban in his case. NOBODY is gonna let you continue to use their product as soon as you bring in lawyers. If you think this game is bot driven...boy are you in for a surprise in any other MMO. This game has the smallest bot driven economy of any MMO I have played in the last 20 years.

Who cares about that line in the ToS that says "regardless of profit made" xD The dude had a macro writing stuff and pressing random buttons. I have macros for repeatable stuff I have to write in my code because I don't want to look for all those special symbols and format it properly for readability every 2 minutes. Should I get banned from BDO for this if it does literally nothing in BDO except press stuff?

A lot of gaming companies are really hard on streamers, I can understand why, if you let a streamer get away with using a macro then it kind of becomes a soft acceptance of it in the eyes of the public. I agree the RMTers should have got a permanent account ban. My keyboard has macro capability as well, I don't think it is realistic to turn it on by accident, it sounds like it was already active and he accidentally hit the macro. I find it hard to believe that he hadn't setup macros on his keyboard to work with BDO. I do accept he activated it accidentally. I use macros, I really love the game but I have pretty bad RSI and some key combos are impossible for me to hit without janking my gameplay completely. I understand the risk, i don't make billions of silver let alone trillions, I am ultra casual. I accept the risk of using the macros, I can't really play the game and enjoy it without the macros so if I can't use them I wont continue to play, either way, I will play as long as PA allows me to. Their macro stance is also why I invest little into the game, I don't buy pearls because I know my account could get nuked for minor macro use so I am not going to spend hundreds of dollars buying stuff I could lose.

Those were people that they couldn't prove were RMT...just suspected. People that get proven for doing RMT are perma banned. Which is basically nobody because proving this is kinda hard. PA is not the government, they don't need proof of guilt to take actions against you. If they think you did something, YOU have to prove you did not. The reason that the punishment isn't as severe is because they don't have proof you did RMT. If they don't have proof you used a macro but only suspect it, you also don't get perma banned. Hwaryoung was gonna get the lesser temp ban for suspected macro use, even though there is hard proof he did it, right up until he brought in lawyers to sue PA and other streamers and content creators. That's when the KR community went completely ape shite crazy and demanded he gets perma banned in unison and PA being threated as well pulled the trigger and perma banned him.
@taninogi8 ай бұрын
Seems a bit vindictive of me for PA to ban him after legal was brought up but I also see it as a very clear violation of the ToS even if it didn't impact the game and no income was generated. I would love to hear more about this story because it is hard to make a fair decision given the circumstances and information available. Do I personally think he should be banned? No. Definitely not a permanent ban. This almost feels like setting a precedent for the future which can be a bit scary for some players.

I'm confused. The fanboys are making this hard to follow by being a needless part of the drama. Only one question matters. Did he macro or not? I don't think PA really cares if he was using the macro to cheat or gain an unfair advantage. Their rules say no macros at all. So if he did do it, then I don't have any clue what sort of case he has to complain about being banned.
@ColdNapalm427 ай бұрын
Okay...so what happened was PA originally said he wasn't gonna get punished at all. Which kinda makes sense with him being the number 1 streamer in KR. The KR community gets mad...calling preferential treatment. PA says they will hire a third party to investigate. Hwaryong threatens content creators and streamers who speak against him with law suits he claims he has lawyers. This makes KR community go ape shite on him. The third party comes out saying that he is suspicious, but no definitive proof of guilt. Which would have been a temp ban. Before PA could say what they are going to do, he comes out, says he has lawyers and will take action against PA. PA perma bans him. He turned a temp ban into a perma one because he hired lawyers. If you think civil lawyers in the US are scums of the earth...well...the KR ones makes them look like angels.
