First of all.. I'm not in TMO. Although I've learned that any opinion I post here that isn't 'TMO IS THE FACE OF EVIL' is greatly frowned upon and gets many hostile responses. I was simply voicing the very basic opinion that 'if another guild got this kind of mass-suspension because of 2 exploiters and account sharing(which is common in many guilds), there would probably a lot of people on that guild's side who believe the suspension was unjust.'
That's all. I'm not defending TMO or even making my own judgement of them or Rogaen's decision. It's quite clear that the already abundant hate for TMO present here is adding fuel to the fire and is responsible for a lot of people's mental justification for Rogean's actions. I do firmly believe that if it was another guild who had 2 exploiters and shared accounts somewhat freely(which again, many respectable guilds do), many people's opinions on Rogaen's decisions would be different.

Yes, but if this happened to another guild I can tell you right now TMO would be in here screaming for them all to be perma-banned. How do I know? Because that is exactly what they did for the MQ/SEQ ban. They didn't care whether one guildy logged on another's account and used MQ/SEQ, the vast majority of them said it was guilt by association. People act like this is unprecedented, but it isn't. GMs listed the number of people suspended from each guild during the SEQ/MQ ban as well as released a list of all the banned accounts (see Alarti's post). This isn't the GMs picking on TMO, it is them naming and shaming the guild that was overwhelmingly associated with the exploiting, as has been done in the past.
TMO has had no sympathy for players who got caught up in things like this in the past, and have shown no remorse for the role they have played in this matter, so I think the response thus far has been fairly appropriate.
