I am finding it very difficult to continue playing on this server with this knowledge at hand. I firmly believe stronger action and harsher punishment must be taken in order to send a strong enough message to others in the future. Can IP addresses be banned with the accounts? The accounts that were logged into by the exploiters should receive stricter discipline as well. Their defense is that they weren't aware of the intentions of these users who used their accounts, but that should not matter. If anything, punishment on these individuals will teach others to be much more cautious to who they share their account info with - guild member or not.
4 weeks ban is NOT enough for these individuals, especially given that these next 4 weeks will be the holidays and most people will be taking a break from EQ regardless. Either a longer ban or at least de-leveling of their characters by 20+ levels. If more action isn't taken I don't think I can continue playing with an honest conscience that my hard work isn't in vain due to the debasement of the server economy by cheaters who don't fear the consequences.

Honestly the punishment is far too light. Sharing accounts is in direct violation of server rules. Therefore whether or not the person logging into the account is cheating or not its still violating rules that have been repeated numerous times. I feel that if IP addresses can indeed be banned then the supposed handful of cheaters should be IP banned while everyone else should have accounts perma-banned and be forced to start over.
