Is mountblocking catshops a bannable offense?

As far as i know, no.

But there are very few massive pets to be honest some of the top ones being:
Mother of the Pack (Giant Wolf)
Giant Bunny
Herc - ish
Ghost Wing

There's also various massive flys that can block access to a npc or a catshop, there are work arounds if you use the ingame 't' function then manulay scrolling down to the cat's name and clicking view shop, anf for npc's I beleive it's holding down ctr or shift while using your curser.

As there are ways around it it kinda doesn't make it a valid reason to be banned in my opinion. That and as I use mains that are both a barb and a veno (with a herc) never had any complaints.

Whatever YOU might think about it or whatever intentions YOU may have or if the behaviour is bannable or not and it also doesn't count that there's worse things to abuse the game - It pretty much doesn't change the fact that it's a RUDE and UNSOCIAL behaviour and catshop owners were right to pm you. You can level your mount in any location where it's not crowded - what's so hard about that? 5 secs to travel from main road to a more uncrowded location and people will still see your new achieved "wearings" while they pass by - and prolly think "yay cool - nice mount" rather than "******* blocking the shops"... my humble opinion - but probably also the opinion of many other people...

Its funny how this thread pops up and less than a day after on Etherblade there is a person blocking the intersection at West Arch with a Mother of the pack pet. Seems flagrant and intentionally meant to disrupt catshops lol

Judging by your other thread this didn't turn out so well...

While you were there with your pet before other cat shops were, you were still there in a place that is known as a high-density area and you are definitely aware of that. You also seem to be very aware that it is a place where many cat shops typically set up. Like I said in a previous post, if this had happened once or twice then they can't do much. But from what it sounds like you've been going back and purposefully standing in the busiest place in the game, and even if nobody was there before you doesn't put you in the clear unfortunately. While nobody forces them to set up there, you are knowingly forcing them to move in order to be accessible and with the fact you've been standing there before, that actually leans towards harassment rather than purposefully blocking their shops.

If you do eventually get unbanned, it would be best if you don't try to stand there with your pet again. If you do want to sell it then it'd be better to go to world chat for it and put it somewhere that doesn't block the shops - I frequently see the pets on display in South Archosaur and people frequently go through that area on my server.

Usually they won't punish people who are verbally harassing you because you have the option to blacklist them, and that is almost always their first suggestion. They only pass the lines of being in danger of being banned once they try to go around the blacklist to harass you, such as messaging you with alts or putting messages in a cat shop name. And even then you sometimes have to ask them to stop first so then when they do it again they're knowingly doing something unacceptable and get put in the wrong. Sometimes customer support can be a bit biased towards certain types of issues too so not 100% trying to defend them on that there.

My bad about thinking you were banned, I hear both booted and banned used interchangeably at times. In any case it still would not be a good idea to place your pet in the same area again after PWI has taken action against it as it could lead to a ban if repeated. Honestly people insulting you/your pet doesn't really excuse refusing to move especially as innocent parties may be unfairly involved. I don't know the full details though so I don't know who exactly has been involved in this entire thing and only really know you were there once before this thread was made and then once after maintenance.

I guess now we have a clearer answer to your first post which you've sort of experienced already - it's not bannable if it has happened once but going back to the same area may get you into trouble.

i like em big

listen to your own advice, would be logical:). You can see that pet 10 ft away off to the side yes?... so basically your just trying to start a drama fest, using a giant pet as a tool for some possible vendetta...people have been using that area for possible years on end lol...move it off to the side, it being in your spot is not going to sell it any more then somewhere else, meh.

If this is the case to get banned, what about catshops that intentionally squeeze other catshops out or cover up others to stick out front? And you catshop owners know what I am talking about. Sooo I can report this too? Is this what this game has come to, due to PWI taking away our ways of making coins now?? That people are so drama driven with every single thing that happens like in real life? Seriosly, all the cathops are back since the only 1 player rule became enforced, and people have figured out how to log on extra toons anyways. So crowed, people are acting like its real life to survive. So many players have huge mounts and pets becasue PWI sales them to us! How about catshops spreading out more to make room for the shoppers?

As far as I know there's nothing written in TOS about blocking shops. You can't get banned by blocking a shop since that person isn't playing (or at least not with that shop). You can't be banned if you go afk for some time otherwise Archosaur would be empty and PWE wouldn't sell boutique items (needed for free 'meditating' outside RoR).

So in other words: if you are pissed because your shop is blocked just move your shop or wait until the other person get a dc.

Lol, #wettstyle, I just ordered a coffee.

This has alway smade me laugh about pwi. Long term players seem to be naturally very territorial about where their shops must be located. And any infingement results in mega rage.

As a rule just be conscious of your surroundings and move your toon mounted or otherwise away from the immediate area where the shops are.

I even took a proof that i was there first.
No shops were near me after maintenance, all shops logged after i was there, decided to place themselves below me. I could have not known a name of any shop logging there and aswell i dont have a shop there so im not even competition.
There are literally no reasons to kick me, as the shop owners decided to TAKE THE SPOT where i was.
I didnt put my pet above them.

I noticed you cropped the screenshot that PWI takes. I want to see the entire picture. Looks like you turned down your graphics so nothing else would show other than your pet. Where are you in the picture?
