Hi, because there were many more support cases than now or before the in-game support system.

ps: that is my guess...

Crime fits the punishment i guess.
U do think intuition should be taken partiallly aswell atleast.
How about some penalty toward ark's development team for dishing out unfair items and showing a complete corruption of the game? You're gonna punish the players but not the devs/planet partners who supported this? name them so we know what dirt looks like.
As Arkadia Studios is a business partner of Mindark we (players) have nothing to do with the agreements between both parties and naming and shaming would have no benefit.
That being said, i do hope this issue will be discussed between the parties and actions will be (and already have been) taken
Don't you think people are saying things on this subject based on emotion and not logical real world logics?
Mindark is the holding parent company - that has the final say and approval on everything.
Ark, RT, Cryene etc - are subsidiary / franchise companies - who if they want something have to request them from the parent company(MA). This is probably written into the terms and conditions.
So if an item, in this case the Proto field chip was requested by ark, wouldn't it be fair to assume it was created and approved by MA?
So it would also be fair to assume, that if MA had applied due diligence to the coding of the item, they could have in fact made the item so that it had no skills associated with it?
It would also be fair to assume they could have applied to the coding that the item in question was untradeable, in fact all Official items could be coded this way.
So ultimately, due to poor operating procedures and practices in place, it is quite clear that the majority of the blame lies solely at MA door, whilst a proportion of the blame can be by emotion directed at ARK.
All MA have done is try to defect the blame onto Ark, so that they look like the innocent party!!
So a planet partner can dish out any items they feel to their friends and it's only MA/the players fault?
No. I'd say Ark has an obvious crooked team working with them and trying to benefit their friends how they can.
They have not listed the other name officially let alone the dirty dev's involved.
So my theory that all items are created, coded and approved by the parent company are incorrect?
Even if your theory is correct an ark dev handed the chip to a player. No other PP or MA has done that except for ark, for that it's quite right there should be some sort of punishment for ark.
In fact whatever method was used to create the chip the fact/speculation remains ark handed the chip over to players. It was through ark that players gained access to the chip, as such ark allowed this drama to happen.
I am interested in your comments, are they driven through emotion or fact? So a dev from any planet can just make what they want? is that what you are saying?
So my theory that all items are created, coded and approved by the parent company are incorrect?
The point I was trying to make, was if they were coded correctly in the first place, then these items would never be able to change hands, weather they worked for Ark, RT or Cryene?
ark team should also take a punishment.
It's not who made it, it's who handed it out to the player. It was given to DannyO by someone.
1. Who?
2. What actions were taken against them?
That's my point. For someone to give those items out to a normal player that would mean there is a kink in what should be an even playground. Ark team played dirty, ark team should also take a punishment.
How do we actually know the punishment fits the crime, we are not in possession of all the facts, we can only assume it does because that is what we have been told by MA.
Did Ma strip you of all the dodge and heal skills and reset your agility when you used to auto fap on the drones with your mod fap.....with your sidekick of the time “Bers”...…. or would you not know because you didn't use/own this avatar then?
The use of an Official Item is not something that any player could have done.The only way this was possible was by having a position of privilege with one or more highly positioned Officials. That is the fundamental issue here.
As I understand it, it was an individual who did it at Ark team, not in agreement with whole team.
I think someone mentioned it that he who runs Ark team is pretty pissed due to this, but
that is more of a rumour so I'm not 100% sure how it realy is.
Although I am pretty sure auto clickers were not allowed!!
If it is a rumor, we really shouldn't be posting about it. That is how we get into trouble and create more drama where it is not needed. It would go to assume that the Arkadia CEO would be rather pissed about this. I would be concerned if he was not.
Point taken, didn’t think about it like that.....
Although I am pretty sure auto clickers were not allowed!!
Based on reports from the community regarding potential use of official-only items by player avatars, MindArk initiated a thorough investigation into the matter over the past 12 days. In this statement I will detail the steps taken by MindArk, including our investigation of this issue, the actions taken based on our investigation, and adjustments to our policies and procedures to prevent such issues in the future.
Our investigation confirmed that two avatars had used items intended for use exclusively by official avatars. The items in question were acquired, without the permission of either MindArk or Arkadia Studios, from Planet Arkadia Official avatars.

CEO MindArk
WoW 5 months ban tho
well progress is over dude got busted and permabanned, get already over it haha
I appreciate the statement but I think you should consider rewarding the avatar who brought it to both your and the playerbases attention. This would not be unprecedented, notification of serious bugs and flaws have been rewarded in the past.
I hope you agree.
I do agree, and I will instruct the support department to identify and reward those who provided information helpful to our investigation.
.......
I can also share that this investigation triggered a more general and comprehensive investigation into potential abuse of other restricted items, official or support accounts, and more. Thankfully, we have not uncovered any other abuses at this time, but we will continue to improve our policies and procedures to prevent any similar issues in the future.
