    I'd prefer that we get back to the original topic of this thread: do you believe that Cryptic will be reasonable enough to unban my account since I repaid my $50 after the initial refund?

    @xgnxlentgamer02

    Have you gotten any update from customer support?

    Here is the issue that I can see is this is on ARC if they are going to authorize steam or anybody to do zen purchases they need to make sure they all have the same return/charge-back policy and well defined. They can not have 3 different return policies where the consumer is left in the dark.

    from the info you posted.... yeah your account was banned due to the refund. steam does not get any bonuses... why buy thru steam? when they have zen sales... it clearly states that steam does NOT have bonuses... buy direct... dont want to use arc... dont need to. buy off their website. it's what I do. STO and steam had a falling out ages ago... cant buy any packs or bundles for STO on their steam game page.

    Because he wanted to buy them through Steam. It's not a crime and it's certainly not forbidden, so let's not turn this around into a "blame the victim" case, uhm?

    @xgnxlentgamer02 I can only reiterate what I, and others, have said to you already - and I'm sorry we can't do anything more to help you out: try your luck on Reddit.
    Make enough of a ruckus and they're probably gonna reverse their decision, seeing as we have another case that's still hot, so to speak.

    I do wish you all the luck in the world, mate, and I hope you can get your account back intact and fully playable.

    Not agreeing with someone doesn't give you the right to be an TRIBBLE.

    Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
    - quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
    - quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
    - quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;

    Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
    Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.

    I think its possible. You will have better luck on Tuesday, once MLK day is over, and people get back to the office.

    QFT.

    Got unbanned. Gotta say...this puts some more personal belief in STO support. All things considered, they seemed to be very understanding about it.

    That's excellent news. Glad support took the time to look into the situtation and act on a 'case by case' basis.

    Whatever the methodology used, it's clear that you were not attempting any type of fraud and should not have remained banned. I'm happy to hear that they fixed it.

    Enjoy the game! :smile:

    Good to know everything worked out for you, and welcome back!

    So never been banned in 10+ years of playing this game so all I gotta do is use real money and I can get banned. Now I finally know how to fit in with the rest of the game now.

    ? huh? He got banned for the reversal of charge. That reversal was sorted out and he got reinstated. it is not uncommon for mmo games to ban an account for a refund for a micro transaction. all sales are final, so be sure you really want it before you pull the trigger.
