Dona, ArrowCS, Dima, Aquarius, other streamers get tradebanned for 1 year for abusing Armory Pass in XP lobbies
2024-10-09 08:00:00Several popular streamers and CS2 skin-related content creators have been tradebanned for one year on October 8. The list includes ArrowCS, Dima, dona, Remyxfloats, FURIOUSS, dataminer Aquarius, and others. This was reported on their social media.
The banned players received the following message: "Suspended for exploiting bugged XP lobbies in Deathmatch on official CS2 servers." Aquarius posted a screenshot it on X.
Some of them were able to remove the ban, including Aquarius, GabeFollower, and Edona "dona" Muliu. The latter claimed she contacted DonHaci "whose cousin knows one of CS devs." She recommended asking him for help lifting bans. Some people in the comment section reported that they lifted their bans this way.
Can I be tradebanned for XP farming abuse in CS2?
Common folk who farmed XP in any mode of the official matchmaking servers have nothing to worry about. Valve made it clear via in-game message. The bans only targeted those who abused specific custom lobbies. These loopholes were patched a few days earlier. If you were banned, try the method suggested by dona and message DonHaci.
