~This topic is directly copy and pasted from a different forum board for a game called "Runescape" I do not care what your opinions are on this game AT ALL, please do not discuss anything about the game in this topic, because this topic is directly related FFXI only~ Thank you

I been playing the game Final Fantasy XI Online as my main MMORPG since the Japanese beta... Recently, I have made trips, calls, and mailed Play Online because of what I am about to say in this topic.
The GMs lately on FFXI are really big ... Jerks... (Putting it nicely)
They hired a new "special task force" to watch over the game make sure absolutely no real world trading, scams, cheating, or anything against the rules is going down.
Well, because of that, I was wrongly banned.
Now in FFXI it takes 4-6 minutes for something to respawn because of how the gameplay is. I was doing a quest for my lower level job, so I changed jobs to one of my mains so I could gather the items for the quest. The quest was located in a low level area, while I am max level (75). I was trying to get the drop from the enemies there as fast as possible, so I pulled everything in a specific area, killing everything as fast as I could. Now there are other low level parties there looking at me like I was a jerk because of this, so a party whispers me and asks me to stop killing their monsters because they want to level. I was pleased to agree with them because they asked me so nicely.
So about 3 minutes passed and they asked me if my lower level would like a party, so I gladly accepted, went all the way back to town, and switched jobs, and walked back. That was about 25 minutes in time that passed doing that. I get there, get the invite, accept and start walking the the camp. I finally get all the way there and I get kicked from the party and everyone refused to answer my whispers. I had no idea why I was kicked so I went back on my main, went back to the zone, and killed monsters again for the quest.
Next thing I know, I am in being sent to GM(Runescapes Admins = FFXI's GMs) Jail. They told me I was going to be suspended for ten days because I was "Interrupting other players gameplay, resulting in breaking the rules". Normally that would be true, but I had all the correct intention to kill because it was FOR A QUEST! It is only illegal when doing it on purpose to annoy people. I told them this, they checked the logs, and they said that found proof that I was doing this intentionally... At this point I didn't know what to do because I never even did anything bad. I felt as though I was being wrongly accused because I never showed any bad behavior in the sort.
At this time, the GM refuses to here my reasoning and says the suspension will start now and will be up for consideration of BANNING THE ACCOUNT!? I was extremely upset when I read this.
So the ten days passed an I noticed I could not log on. I called the company and they said the account was banned because of this action. So I was furious, hung up and read all of the terms of conduct... All the some-odd pages of it... And what they "Claimed I Did" was not a bannable offense in the first place. So I call the company, E-Mail them, and even web chat them. I do every possible thing to try and talk to a manager there and none of them will let me appeal. So basically, I just wasted a total of 7 years (1 year and 7 months play time! I have no life lol) and thousands of dollars (12.95$ a month) on this game for nothing.
At this point I feel like giving up on all MMORPGs forever because this week has been the worst week ever in my life for my gaming experiences. This is my sad story fellow members of RuneHQ and I thank you for reading it.
Have a great day and happy new year (Late, I know).

Does being condescending because I don't feel sorry for you make you feel important?
