Issuing permanent bans for having any sort of memory editing software open is done so not only to prevent hackers from getting into the game, but to protect the game itself (from being decompiled, reverse engineered, etc). However DE is very strict about protecting Warframe. I know that there are a lot of memory editing programs out there, and I'm sure that there are plenty of players who have used such programs (your friend may be included).
Playing Devil's Advocate (or the 'grain of salt' you should always take with any given situation), do you have irrefutable proof that those were all of the programs your best friend was running? Do you have access to the records showing what processes and executables were running at the time of the ban? Is it possible that your best friend may have had a program which could alter active memory addresses of currently running programs (such as CheatEngine or another type of memory editing software) that was minimized, off screen or otherwise not closed fully? Now, I'm not saying I don't trust the word of your best friend nor am I saying that you shouldn't trust the word of your best friend, but it's important to remember that unless you had complete and total access to all of the details and information surrounding the ban, you aren't fit to pass any sort of judgement yourself. Thing is, circumstances regarding a user's ban is a private matter between that player and DE support. I really wish innocent players didn't get caught in the crossfire between DE and actual dirty hackers. My friend's updated the support ticket asking what was the program that caused the ban but hasn't received a reply so far. Is Nexus Mod Manager now counting as a potential trainer/cheat/memory modifying program? I got word from someone slightly in touch with DE and was told that it *might* be the cause. Why throw everything away? It just doesn't make sense.Īnyways. with no consideration of their plat/prime access purchase history, overall game time, achievements and so on. To be given an ultimatum like this, I think it's sad that dedicated veteran players are put under the same scope as cheaters, hackers etc. If we see any suspicious activity in your records from here on, you will be banned permanently." one time only chance, and we repeat: ONE TIME ONLY CHANCE. She recently got unbanned which is great, but got this chilling warning: I've gotten a list of the programs she was running at that moment: Firefox, Discord, Steam, a visual novel, Nexus Mod Manager, Warframe, notepad. She got banned from Warframe last Sunday, despite not running any cheat program at the moment.
Because she'd rather enjoy the game than fail over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. She also plays a bunch of other single player games, half the time using cheat engine to assist in her bad reflexes. She doesn't have good reflexes, so she's slogged her way up to MR26, qualifying for MR27. I have a best friend who is dedicated to the game as much as I am.
