Today Is the Day the Three Week Suspensions Were Supposed To End--

So, any news? Are these permanent? Are people coming back?

I think the bans were 100% deserved and appropriate. I think people who exploited should be stripped of their ill gotten gains (and maybe more?) but I'd be lying if I said I couldn't tell the impact on the endgame population on USPS. On reset day yesterday, LFG was dead and it was next to impossible to get raids together. I don't envy the devs trying to figure out the best way to handle all of this.

There was a difference when it happened. But I guess after a few weeks you just don’t notice it.

Never noticed it tbh, other than the broker having fewer high priced items.

Seems same as his been for years on my end if were talking lfg

TBH, I didn't notice any difference. I think we were just on a holiday low. 800 accounts isn't a massive amount of accounts compared to the actual numbers we were given over the years. Also, I'm USPC/PS and NASwitch, I think a massive amount of the bans were EU based on some of the complainers on the forums and twitter.

Yeah I haven't noticed any discernible population drop and even if there were, I'd put it down to the Christmas Holiday period before I put it down to the bans.

I'm on EUPS, & I've not had any trouble running anything. endgame open worlds have been busy, got all the bounties down across multiple toons with hardly any waiting around at all, LOD stuff's been popping fairly sharpish, again across multiple toons. can't speak for getting in to the Omnibus stuff or any old raids / alerts, I don't do them, but endgame's doing fine.
