If you bought the hacked items, your account wouldn't be banned.. They would just take the items you bought back, and return your gold. Basically hitting a giant reset button.
I know because I had it happen (sort of).
Back when it was expensive, I was questing the Staff Of The Angels, and I had someone give me a large donation.. which gave me enough to buy the LMP listing.
A few days later, I got a PM saying that the donation came from a hacked users account, and they took my staff, and returned my account to the amount of gold I had before the donation..
And, of course, by that time, LMP had shot up about 50%.
So I just gave up.
You can get banned, if you sold the item. They consider it profiting from hacking/scamming. There have been cases in which others have been banned from this same event. I messaged a site moderator, she confirmed and told me that I am doing the right thing by keeping the items in my inventory and not selling them. Otherwise I'm putting my account at risk.
I do know that if after they do investigations, and find the items in my account were hacked items, they'll return my gold and reverse the transaction.
I just gotta wait
Weird.
I think thats a little unfair.. How would you know if you bought hacked items?
you don't know. I bought them at very profitable prices, didn't stop and think they were hacked though :/
I'm pretty sure this is in the forums, I've met some people who have been in the same position I'm in.
