What do you think of this?

Funny thing... They simply tell you: "you had better don't play the game to well or we will fire you!" ****ing ridiculous! If he played according to EULA it's a ****ing insult. -_-

The thread was locked because the tone of the thread became quite negative.
If you discuss it further in this thread please keep it civil. You have the right to disagree and disapprove, especially if you do so constructively with reasoned argument. IF it becomes personal or insulting this thread will get locked also.
It turns out Blizzard banned him because he was intending to bring out a subscription based info site for traders.
The guy Markco is quite interesting. He's worth following on his blog here:
http://www.*********************/ OK it doesn't like me linking to his blog, you will have to find it for yourself.
He is very enthusiastic, cunning, insightful, and updates regularly. I know him a little bit, but I am not him.

Banned for making gold...
Saying things like this proves that these are all your accounts, and it is classic denial.
It's like saying, "I got fired because management had it out to get me". All the while you didn't do what you were supposed to do, and got fired for being a lazy douche. Sorry I couldn't come up with a better analogy, but I think you get my point.
When you are making money off of someones hard work, people tend to try and thwart it before it goes too far.

I didn't post in the other thread but I can see this is going to keep going so let me point out something very simple, when you get banned it wasn't done by the guy you are contacting at support to inquire about it, it wasn't done by anyone in support at all, that person you are contacting to ask questions is just some 10$ an hour dude at a call center who has no clue why you got banned and isn't authorized to research it since he's paid 10$ an hour to help players, not waste time on banned accounts.
Can you be banned for too much gold? No... Can they tell you that's why they banned you? Sure... They can and will tell you anything just to close the ticket... Why?... Because that's what support staff do... This notion that being "banned" MUST come with full disclosure or that there must be some hearing in a virtual court of law is just falacy, the EULA rather murkily states that they can ban you for any reason at any time.
No he did not get banned for making too much gold or having too much gold find, that's just nonsense, he got banned for operating a "gold guide" site that he fully intended to profit from once the game launched... and like him I myself will likely get banned at some point simply because I have openely admitted to being an RMT professional under the name I will be using in game and that's all they need, sure if I asked CS what my ban was for after the fact they will tell me all kinds of BS but I am already fully aware that coming on these boards and admitting who I am and what I do puts any future accounts I use to play D3 at risk because even though I have 0 intention of doing anything illegitimate in D3 they have no way of verifying that, the only thing they have verification of is that I am who I am and I do what I do... Everything else is just words on a forum.
I have nothing against Marcko personally but his campaign to try and publicly notify the net of this injustice is a farce, he knew full well what he was doing before he started, to act surprised after the fact is just foolish, he was up to something he shouldn't have been and got caught, that's all there is to it, the rest of it is just marketing for his website.

If people would read the TOS/EULA, it would solve so many problems... But people just mindlessly scroll down and click agree. I can't wait for people to get banned in retail because they didn't respect the rules so I can take a good laugh at them =).
I myself will likely get banned at some point simply because I have openely admitted to being an RMT professional under the name I will be using in game and that's all they need
Hate to burst your bubble but your full name is too many characters, at least in Beta, and they don't allow spaces . Also you could be protected by not having a unique character name. We could all band together and have characters named Concupisco! (Maybe we'd just all get banned though)
and like him I myself will likely get banned at some point simply because I have openely admitted to being an RMT professional
After reading many of your post, I still don't know what RMT stands for...
So, what does it stands for?
We could all band together and have characters named Concupisco! (Maybe we'd just all get banned though)
Concupisco should be our secret, traders mafia! LOlz. Just kidding.
RMT = real money transaction, I believe

WARNING: Long rant-like post ahead!
Whether I use the last part of the name or not doesn't really matter much considering I'm going to be making videos for this site using my "real" characters... It won't be hard at all for them to find me if they should choose to... Especially considering I will be doing nothing to hide from them and actually want them to see me, know me and hear me just like everyone else so they know that people like myself and even Marcko are not the "enemy" in all this, yes there are a lot of nefarious people lurking in the RMT industry but the game companies are more to blame for that than we are, by doing things the way they do they themselves are the ones who create these breeding grounds for criminals, we of the more honest ilk among RMT have to fight against those same crooks to the point where we even get denial of service attacks and hack attempts against us if our "criminal" competition ever gets hold of an IP address.
I'm not trying to blow bubbles, I'm just fully aware that they can ban me just for saying I'm involved in RMT, no bubbles there, just the reality of the situation... I'm hoping it doesn't happen but Blizzard is still well within their "rights" if it does... This isn't some Guy Fawkes thing though, ya'll don't need to show up on launch day wearing your masks.... Wait 'till after the ban when I'm mad and ready to blow things up. LOL
I'm not trying to make this about me, I'm not some "big shot" or "high priority target"... I'm just me.... The only thing I was trying to point out is that being me, or in this case being Marcko is all it takes for a ban, what you did or are doing is almost irrelevant, the moment they have confirmation that you are up to something you shouldn't be... well... that's all they need.
It's like the guys that log into "test servers" and get banned for exploiting (Yes it happens)... It seems so counter productive as a test server should be about uncovering exploits right? So it would make sense to have people testing for exploits right? But even on a test server the EULA still applies and such activity could still get you banned because although 1 person testing might "disclose" their findings should anything pop up these game companies know full well that the other 9 guys "testing" exploits are doing so to make use of them later... That's not to say they will ban the 1 honest guy, they may let him fly under the radar if he has a history of reporting what he finds but they aren't for a second going to believe the guy who has never reported a bug in his life when he responds to his ban with "I was only looking for bugs to help you!".
Bottom line is the guys monitoring things over at Blizzard aren't stupid, they know the kind of stuff we're up to and they are indeed watching for it, they may not know enough to be very effective at finding us "outlaws" when we're all "camouflaged" up but when we're waving it in their face they have no real choice in the matter.
The psychology involved is similar to that of a parent finding out the person giving the drug talks to their kids in school is an actual drug dealer... Who better to talk to kids about drugs and what it does to people than a drug dealer? Provided they are being honest they'd know more than anyone about what drugs can do to people but what they know or whatever good intent they may have becomes irrelevant in the eyes of a parent, all they see is a school putting a known drug dealer near children so who do we get giving drug talks instead? Some bumbling idiot cop who's never even smoked a joint let alone had any real experience with narcotics.
I'm like the drug dealer except my product doesn't kill, I want people to understand RMT, I want people to shed their ignorance and educate themselves a little, the industry doesn't have to be all about Asian farming operations ruining your games with bots, it can be about your friends, family, neighbours and ever yourself... My only personal mission is to open people's eyes to the fact that we in RMT aren't all "evil" like we're made out to be, yes there is crime and yes there are dishonest people but the same can be said for every other walk of life. I want D3 to serve as a stepping stone for a legitimized RMT industry, not just so the players can participate but because the more legitimate player participation we get the less room those "criminals" have to move.
This isn't all some romanticized crusade to "liberate" RMT though, let's face it, RMT does have a direct relationship with gaming addicts and addiction, some of the people spending thousands of dollars on these games do have a "problem" and we do indeed profit from that problem which in some people's eyes makes even the honest members of our community "evil" but just like crime, addiction is a component of every aspect of life too, even the game company is profiting from these addicts, how many people have known someone in WoW who has had to have every mount in the game? How many know people in WoW that bought the yearly WoW sub that came with D3 just to get the mount? The game companies profit off unhealthy fixation as well so ultimately it's all just a double standard.
Whether you are selling gold guides or gold itself all aspects of the RMT industry need to be legitimized in my books, these companies need to open their eyes and work with us rather than against us, I mean publishing and charging for a gold guide is no different that buying a "guide" to some video game off the shelf in a book store, the only real difference is the online stuff is up to date and actually teaches you something while the book store stuff is pretty much useless... I mean in Marcko's defense Blizzard could just as easily set up a virtual book store selling e-books written by the fans, be it class guides, gold guides or whatever it wouldn't be all that hard to establish a partnership with one of the many large e-book distributors online and they could get their kickback while the player gets some money for his work but they don't, it could eliminate all illegitimate gold guide sites for that game over-night but they don't, they could be making even more money than they are now but they don't.
Why they don't is anyone's guess, I have no doubt the game companies can come up with all kinds of excuses but IMO they've spent so much time fighting against us that they can only ever see us as the enemy, even the RMAH move was done to "combat the enemy" instead of working with and incorporating RMT into the game, meanwhile this entire time they've been fighting against people that WANT to work with them and that WANT them to get their cut but have to do things the illegitimate way because it is our only option... That's ultimately what it boils down to, they give us no option then get mad when we take things into our own hands, that needs to change.
I know a lot of this may seem pretty off topic but believe me, this stuff has more involvement in Marcko's ban than any excuse he was given in an email from Blizzard.

"I'm Spartacus..."
I think the biggest issue people are having with Marcko and his alts is that he is try to use his ban as a marketing tool on our FREE site. People who have been with diabloInc's Market Forum from the start know that CQ and myself had quite "heated" discussion on Multi-Boxing. The big difference between CQ and Marcko is that CQ is freely sharing his knowledge with the community while Marcko is just advertising his guide. In fact, his advertising is quickly getting to the point of being SPAM.
If CQ was just interested in profits he wouldn't share his tricks with us. (Even if he his holding some backing in reserve. Smart Man...)
@Marcko/tuberCHIMPY/jon: Please stop advertising and just join our community in discussion.

I'm not Markco :(
I don't really care all that much if people believe me or not to be honest, but it feels like people get all paranoid when there's a disagreement and automatically assume they must be so right that everyone who disagrees must be all one person.
I'm a UKer who reads Markcos blog regularly, along with a few others e.g. incgamer D3 Markets, D3 aritsans, etc...
I do chat with Markco, but I stated that at the top of my very first post.
If any mods here would like to compare server logs/ IP addresses/ user agents etc... I'm sure they will very quickly accept that we are two very different people. Yeah I know proxies, user agent changers, etc.. but there comes a point where common sense dictates that the amount of effort involved in doing all that far outweighs any sane rational person's motivation.
I have supported/defended Markco because the first thread felt quite "hang him!" mob justice, you know pitchforks and torches, I just thought Markco deserved ome support for his effort AND more importantly I felt that if people here on the "hang him" wagon actually read some of his stuff the tone might change to "well ok some of what you write is actually pretty good, but we don't like you trying to profit from it". You'll laugh when you read my next line but I was actually trying to help people here possible discover another good source of info that they might choose to utilise.
If you all the above is just lulz or the red mist behind your eyes is telling you that this is proof positive I'm a liar, then so be it. You are entitled to think whatever you want, but you could actually be wrong you know. Anyway make your own minds up.
I do openly support Markco and have never pretended otherwise.
OMG that proves it's him beyond any shadow of a doubt! Burn the witch!!!!
OMG he used the word "you" more proof!!!!

So I read through. Yeah. Totally spam advertising, which seems to be increasing on this site.
I've had the same amount of gold find, and I would farm for hours on end, and I never got banned. I even posted a video of my gf route on the official forums. That's probably one of the most retarded banning claims I've ever heard.
"Hay guise I'm playing the game the way it is intended to be played, and I got banned because of it" sure thing, boss. He acted, in the video, as if his wizard was something special or unique or different from any other GF wizard. Guess what? Not true.
So then we must look at alternatives to why the ban occurred, and I feel it becomes pretty plain to see.

Just for the record I doubt anyone admin side has any interest in engaging in account audits because one user said something about another user, I can't speak for Azzure or the others but from my view on things nobody is "officially" calling anyone anything, personal opinions are still personal and people have their right to an opinion but this isn't a witch hunt... If there is a rule in place and that rule is broken the story ends, that's all there really is to it, whatever happens after that point is moot. If any forum account is suspected of being used improperly I would imagine it to be dealt with in private, we don't need to "call" each other out publicly as that line of discussion will only ever degenerate into a "flamewar".
We're all here for a good time right? Good to keep that in mind while we weigh the prospect of making more enemies... Everyone hug and make friends. :tongue:
It does look really suspicious when 2 recent members with very low post counts start "defending" someone though.
One thing I was considering earlier was the clause in the EULA against "enterprise", what if there was such thing as being banned for making too much money? Not gold but actual money, I mean as ludicrous as it sounds up front there is indeed a certain point where you are no longer making the money an individual player would make even if he is multi-boxing, I mean at a certain point the amounts become those only "bots" or "enterprise" could generate right? Hmmmm

Long post incoming (and a first one - don't get suspicious!) because I roll like that. I tend to write essays because I love writing...
It does look really suspicious when 2 recent members with very low post counts start "defending" someone though.
I've joined specifically to reply to this topic as it's bloody fascinating (I'll outline the kind of person I am in a minute - vaguely - not actually 'who' I am).
I'm in the beta. I'm making a game guide. Most of the attention is falling on the RMAH/Gaining gold. Right now I'm wary of being banned. It's like I've had my wake up call - been told by Blizzard 'hey you know what you're doing is WRONG'. I'm struggling to accept that. So what I'm going to do is defend the idea of selling game guides.
What I don't want to do is advertise where I'm doing it or who I am or advertise for anyone else. No names. I'm just here to talk about something that's totally interesting to me - online economies and more recently writing guide for them.
Ok so, yes, as I said, I've just started work on a Diablo 3 gold guide. I loved Diablo and Diablo II and World of Warcraft. I really only got into the economics of online games towards the end of Burning Crusade but once I did, I was hooked. I've made a good bit of dough and I'm sensible. I've been told I'm an excellent writer (pinch of salt) and the nail in the coffin is that I have very good relations with some prominent internet marketers.
After I had one social chat with them and revealed how I followed a lot of online game blog sites that also sold guides they went away and checked clickbank. They were impressed by how big Warcraft there (for a game - there are other areas that completely dwarf all games combined ever - which is more the areas they're in). Anyway, we decided to combine expertise and work on the upcoming Diablo 3.
I'm not sure how well I'll do. I'm not looking to make a living off this and I've no expectations (but it'd be nice for this to be the start to a series of works or sites online) but the amount of effort I'm putting in, I'd like to get something back. Plus I am an auctioneer. I've been trained by these very games I'm writing about to squeeze pennies out of those who want to give it up freely. I won't cheat but I don't see why I should be a saint.
I think this current project began with the desire to write a book. Specifically a book about games. I mean, I loved the physical guide books that have been mentioned in this thread already - I still have one of the first ones I bought for wow. It is and was then, the ****test guide I've ever laid eyes on, but when I bought it I was happy - I had a thing to take away with me when I couldn't play the game. I loved it that much. This is what I want to give to people, supplying to those who demand MORE Diablo 3. Those who just can't get enough.
That early experience of a Wow 'guide' (and other guides for the likes of Breath of Fire, Final Fantasy VII - anything that the publishers could get someone to write about) has taught me one thing - I can do better. When I began this little project then I had, not quite pure intentions, but the intentions of a business person trying to do something 'normal'. Then I read about the debacle that is part of this discussion. The ban.
I've no guide experience but I've got quite a games veteran 'pedigree' (another reason for anonymity here) - I worked for Blizzard as a Game Master and later Specialist Game Master. I have been away from them for about 3 or 4 years now. I left to 'come home' from working with them abroad. I regret it, still to an extent (perhaps this is another factor in what I'm choosing to do). They're a good company. Now my marketing buddies love this, they want it to feature in the copy for the guide. I'm against it. It doesn't feel necessary. If they can convince me otherwise I may change my mind but I'll be countering their argument with this ban of the 'other user' working on a guide with beta access.
I've made a few videos and used screenshots and information from the beta. I've hidden the account details from it and now really must consider getting two accounts and keeping them both hermetically separate after launch. One for me and one for the marketing persona.
There's no doubt that what I've done already is against the EULA but so's letting your girlfriend use your wow account. Which I've done too. Or letting your brother try the beta out on another computer using your account. Which I've also done. I'm struggling to fully move into the 'villain of the piece' role here and I'm siding with those in this thread who've already talked about a kind of 'witch hunt' mentality against those who sell advice, information (guides basically) or the products directly. I mean, Blizzard has everyone doing the latter now.
So yeah. There's more I want to say - particularly around the idea of selling game guides, how to be as 'ethical' as you can (in business in general not just writing game guides) and beyond but I've written enough for now.
Expecting to be told my post is too long when I hit 'Post Quick Reply' (and I'm laughing at how long this 'quick reply' took).
It seems like almost every post markco makes gets flamed on these forums. I few facts to swallow:
1.) Marcko's blog is free, the forums on his blog are free, the comments on his blog are free. You should read them before they aren't free, because when he starts charging for it, it's for a reason.
2.) Marcko has a lot of interesting topics, and ideas he writes about in regards to the diablo 3 ecomony
3.) Marcko has alot more experience at in game ecomonies than a lot of us do.
4.) Marcko is already rich from his world of warcraft guide.
Be thankful that these guys that are gonna be selling these guides are:
1.) sharign thier ideas with you
2.) Willing to hear your opinion about thier ideas
3.) Put up with your rude responses and continue to participate in this community
and lastly why not just keep the flaming on the guy that owns d2items.com. You know he is in these forums somewhere. Light your torches and get those sporksticks ready! I hear he owned a major stake in Vivendi Games before it merged with Activision and became Activision Blizzard. Go figure right?
Of course every post he makes gets flamed. Every post he makes is an advertisement for his site or an attempt to justify breaking the rules for sympathy points or whatever. Believe it, we would *not* mind if he actually was contributing for the sake of sharing information. What's with with all the sock puppet accounts agh.
I've not seen any reason to flame this supposed owner of d2items whoever that even is.

Yeah because anyone who doesn't agree with the mob is a sock puppet.
God knows how much chaos and dented egos it would cause if people had to acknowledge that perhaps they were a little hasty in condemning and assuming. It would mean for instance that there were really real people out there who supported someone that they thought was being picked on, it would mean that being part of the easy option no thinking required herd mind could actually be in the wrong on some assumptions, it would means that some evil villain maybe wasn't quite as pantomime evil as people liked to think.
But then dealing with all this, keeping an open mind, acknowledging that perhaps assumptions was made in error would take a bit of spine and effort, and I think that's a bit much to ask of some. Easier to keep up with the unfounded allegations and why bother to back them up, too much effort. Guilt by insinuation.
Bahh humbug :(

what some posters (mostly brand new members...) are ignoring is what really irks me; he lied about why he got banned and he perpetuated that lie across many sites/blogs to get more traffic and more cross links for SEO.
Good for him he made 120k writing wow gold guides, thats awesome. I'm sure he'll make $ selling his d3 guides to idiots as well, but his intentions are neither to help this community nor to contribute to our success, they are purely to line his own pockets. nothing wrong with that for him, but overall i feel it degrades our community and i almost write a flame post every time he starts a new thread.
also, the thing that strikes me as funny is he didn't make much gold at all, nor were his se strategies well thought out. i guess he's better at seo than video games.

Vile initially they practically refused to tell him why he got banned. A stock "you've violated the ToS, we won't talk to you anymore about it" form email. If they want to ban him, that's fine, it's their game, they have every right to set the ToS but they should have at least told him why. Granted after a bit of chasing and broo-ha they did tell him exactly why, but initial response was soemthing like "we don't provide support in beta, you're banned, bugger off".
I dare not mention his name for fear of the peasants with pitchforks - but you know who - wasn't given any info to start with and then came up with his admittedly sensationalist "banned for making too much gold", but to be honest if they refuse to tell him why he's banned why can't he come up with an eye grabbing press style line like that.
Since then Mr. Anonymous has posted full details of the follow up correspondence from Blizzard, acknowledging the reasons that they told him that they banned him - ToS violations, he's been up front and honest right from the start - never took any steps to protect his identity, or his beta account - his rather goofy face appears on his blog for Pete's sake. He's not some shadowy evil genius hell bent on destroying D3
He's not still claiming "banned for making too much gold", he's claiming banned for violating ToS with details etc......
Keep vilifying him if it makes you feel better, but jeez you guys aren't painting yourselves very well here. It's like a village full of inbred redneck shuffling morons all called mungo just waiting for any excuse to break open the flaming torches and pitchforks for the the ones with opposable thumbs to let them thar outsides ( anyone not genetically re-related 7 successive generations or more ) know just how much "we don't like your sort round here hur hur hur"

Lying about why you got banned makes me not trust you because you would say what is good for you and not what is good for me. If you really think you got banned for that reason then you are too stupid for me to trust your advice. Since I don't see any 3rd option, that sums up what I think of Marko. Sorry, but it's really that simple.

Hideo got banned for keeping it to "real" on the general boards, so anything can happen.
Long live Markco! FLAME ON!

Well he who shall remain nameless just did something........
Yeah ok you guys were mostly right :)
I though he might take a different tack after the ban. It will be interesting to see what happens now.
Can you just pick a username to post on please, you aren't fooling anyone anymore, and it's super annoying.
In fact you might all be hideo.

There just no room in your head for you to be wrong on this is there? None at all.
NM I looked around and found the ignore button, don't bother replying. Feel free to ignore me too please, I insist.
Getting banned for being too good is coherent with the Diablo II approach, in which you would constantly get realm downs/temp ip ban for going too fast (i.e. making too many games, creating/typing too fast).
Thou shalt play like a mindless retarded zombie so that Blizz don't think you're a bot!
So, is there a reason why I cannot post in Mozilla on these boards? I'm going through internet explorer (ugh hate it) right now and it works fine...
Seriously guys... I think everything that can be said has been said and I'm not sure why people are still discussing this. I'd like to move on and get into the fun aspects of the RMAH... you know like discussing the new changes.
That being said, I think it's awesome that some of you came out of the wood work, so to speak, to defend me. But let's keep it civil and refrain from emotional discussion (even if others are doing the same thing). I think Azzure would appreciate that ;) And don't worry, I have ridiculously thick skin, been doing this too long not to have survived without it.
Thanks,
Markco
