Yes funny thing is i have never used 2x pendants report away to your hearts contents... I would love for them to even do a history check. You are just a strait up bish regardless of anything.

[quote=misscherilyn]Both incorrect. There was never anything implemented to remedy the exp boost from having never taken off the dual pendants post-game update. That's a blatant error made by Nexon. Banning for lack of action is completely different from banning for active usage of hacks/ illicit programs- at the very least, Nexon owes it to users to formally state that such is the case prior to inflicting penalty. [/quote]
Nexon doesn't owe its players anything if people exploited methods to bypass a one-of-a-kind restriction on pendant of spirit items, which give them a leveling advantage (even if it is a slight one). They did not need to announce to people that wearing 2 pendants was against the rules, since you weren't supposed to be able to equip 2 in the first place. Trying to equip 2 of them normally even before this patch and it would not let you do so, saying something like "you can't equip 2 experience items" or something. The fact that they patched the exploit to equip 2 should have made it clear enough that wearing 2 pendant of spirit items was prohibited.

Nexon doesn't need to warn people about breaking the rules since they assume that we know them, and banning people for it is also more effective at putting people in line than warning people.

[quote=misscherilyn]I lol'd. And don't worry hun I was, albeit temporarily, hence why I'm posting here. Not hesitating at all to own up to it because like I said, most people have better things to do with their time than sift through obscure forums for the occasional offhanded GM comment, not excluding this one.

But please, preach all you'd like [/quote]

A one-line statement made on some obscure forum hardly qualifies as adequate communication. Blame still falls on Nexon[/quote]

Got banned at 7:45 AM PST, I was training and farming elites with my 167 kanna at Henesys ruins, dced, and got banned. Just in time for 2xp and 2x drop this weekend T-T(was so ready..)

Edit: This was in Bera btw.

[quote=loxiona]I agree. If they did actually get banned for wearing 2 pendant of spirits, it's their own fault. They bypassed the one-of-a-kind restriction either through a hack program or exploited a glitch in the equipment interface. It wasn't like they just equipped both pendants normally and then it was suddenly patched and bannable.[/quote]

[quote=k3nny321](12:04:19) GM Binotii: Please be informed that the use of more than one Exp Pendant is considered an exploit and is bannable. However, with the recent game update, player should now be unable to equip more than one Exp Pendant as the game mechanic shows you an error message that would restrict you from doing so.[/quote]

Apparently someone who was banned recently had it confirmed by a GM that it was because of wearing 2 exp pendants. Although he/she was falsely reported for using pack edits to do so.
I don't know what the truth in that specific case is, but either way it seems it's bannable as exploiting a bug or something.

I wonder if they've started banning people for exploiting the crusader codex bug yet.

I guess nexon thought that they totally removed the ability to wear 2 since there is only unique equipped exp pendants.

They never thought there was a chance for those reg exp pendants to be preserved in the storage until they decide to extend time with nx.

Edit: there's an old exploit that allow you to wear 2 exp pendants.

Someone in my world alliance did get banned for wearing 2 exp pendants, and I asked a GM about it. Even though there's no official announcement it is indeed a bannable offence. So if anyone has 2 exp pendants equipped from before the time they patched it, you'd best take one off.

I don't think they ban for wearing two exp pendants, do they?
A few years back, we had the evolving ring event and people were able to wear a lvl 17 and a lvl 16 of the same ring and they didn't ban over that, they just removed them off people and they should do the same with exp pendants.
