So within a couple of days the accounts being leveled accross the new server got suspended.

But IP switching will always get you nailed and that’s why I’m upset about the whole thing because if we knew. I would have sent ya all an email letting you know we need to stop for 3-4 days.

after the whole deal they offered to refund 6.34 dollars for the 7 levels that didnt get leveled up, i thought this was too low and did some math regarding how much time they took to level to where they got and how long more they woulda taken to get to the target mark, it came out to 31.56, they said this was too high and said they couldnt offer more than 20, figuring its fine i took them up on this, refund was recieved promply (2 days but its ok thats not their issue)

After some investigation they determined their VPN provider failed them at one point and by accident they logged on from a different IP location which flagged/banned the account and they were going to work on preventing this from happening again.

At 3:45 CST, I logged on to my machine to find:

Im assuming it wasnt a permanent ban because the guys over at fsf didnt use any bots or exploits HOWEVER im preety sure the guy in charge of the leveling account sold off/sent/somehowcomunicated with another RMT concentrator account and when that account got slammed this one was also shot up by association, prolly not banned since it seemed like this account sold, them, money more so than, this account being owned by them.

At any rate im a little bit dissapointed that instead of keeping/selling/giving away all the items so that the owners account couldnt get nailed by association they instead chose to make more of a profit by selling the farmed goods collected during the leveling of the account, and in the process risk the customers account and in this case getting it a final warning. (which makes it unusable, since a /report will probably get you a permaban now) but its allright the account was made for that sole purpose… to be discardable it would suck if it were a 70 full account.

A couple of things id ask fsf to consider:

i dont blame you for trying to sell the farmed items, you need to make a profit in every way you can, and its not like you can store 60 levels worth of goods in the bank, you have to get rid of them… somehow…

however sending them off to a RMT concentrator account is NOT the best way to go about doing this… this puts the customers account at risk at expense of a few more profits to your company.

Ive been thinking, and basically the guy playing the account risked the $50 dollar account just so he could get what? 2500 gold sold tops?

If i would have given an option to KEEP the 2500g farmed once the account is done leveling and pay up the extra price i would have….

I much rather pay a small fee and avoid the chance of my account getting banned by association than the 50-60 bucks i would have saved off the powerleveling price by selling the farmed goods to lower the cost of the powerleveling.

Remember the only thing that distiguishes a company in this business is how likely are they to get banned, only stupid people go with which one has the cheapest price… cheap in this business generally = guaranteed ban, because to be cheap they cut corners somewhere, and cutting corners gets you noticed and that gets you banned.

Anyway im not going to bash at FSF, im not sure whos fault it is that the farmer in charge broke the #1 rule of powerleveling, NEVER COMMUNICATE WITH ANY OTHER “DIRTY” ACCOUNTS WHILE ON YOUR CUSTOMERS ACCOUNTS. but whats done is done.

Ill wait here to see if FSF can delve into the matter and see how exactly this happened and find ways to avoid it from happening again, for now my faith in powerleveling is basically done for.

On the bright side…

Im glad it actually made it to an “ok” level bracket and its cool ill finish the grind myself from here i dont mind 50-70.

In conclusion… it was a good shot, they did by far get farther than any other pl service ive ever seen and when they did get banned it was only a temp ban… so all in all you could “technically” say it was a “success”

Il wait 1 week, then log on and xfer the char off that account into another “clean” account and finish the leveling there, altho having to spend 50 bucks on another set of wow disks is not the exact idea of an outcome i had in mind… but either way it works out.

I hope my experience helps others in weighting the risks of PL and what you should take into consideration when hiring these services.
