    If a person gets lucky and gets a few arties in a row while grinding hard, they will get autobanned. Need to raise this limit so this does not happen.

    I've never heard of this auto banning.

    Is there a link to an official thread?

    The devs have already gotten on it.

    Heard of this happening three times without actual abuse - just luckinesss - twice for loot and once for producer XP.

    If the point of it is to make sure someone doesn't find something and abuse it over a long period of time to mess with the long-term balance of the game, why not just have it calculate per hour instead of the current (I believe) 15 minutes? Seems it would still serve the same purpose but autobans would be much less likely.

    I just watched it happen to Mac while we were grouped. The devs need to fix this asap!

    I've heard of the autoban, it's in Germany I think.

    Not that I've seen. I've had times where I've binged on supply bags, and I usually save them until I get back home in case I end up with more weight than I expected. I can also go completely nuts on them in QA since it's all play money in there anyhow.

    This system has been improved so we can set different rules for different players. We will also be expanding it so players in parties have their loot numbers split between the group for tracking purposes.

    Thank you for paying attention to this! This will or at least would have become a big issue if (and I hope it's the case) you keep adding very high spawn zones such as the Lost Vale and Upper Tears.

    This certainly wouldn't apply to me. I have the worse luck in the game; unless Chris is tracking who has the most luck or pax rings.

    Hi Chris, would you care to elaborate how players should have different rules? Is this based on AL? On Party-Lead vs Party-Member???

    @Chris , why not have it flag people for investigation rather than autoban? If someone is getting a peculiar amount of gold,xp,etc., send an alert to a dev to investigate and see if there is an actual issue? I've not had this happen to me yet, but I would definitely find it annoying to be kicked from the game due to no fault of my own, and then have to spend time trying to get unbanned.
