More to the point, banning people who have put in 30x the amount of time as you who had nothing to do with duping plat isn't a "good thing". It's just lowering the population. Which, I would hope none of you want.
I'd wish since Rogean is naming and shaming, he would list the others not in TMO that were banned as a result. But that might not do well for public image.

They should be banned if they are being shitheads to people just because they can. People were banned for less on live. and that shit is for real classic.
Look, i understand what and why your point is. I personally can give a shit about pixels. I never got one pixel in my time with FE, never asked. If i wanted to pixel I have tons of characters on other boxes.
Nirgon the issue at hand, for me anyway, is that the Uber guild imperialist bullshit needs to end. TMO is not better than anybody else. Hell, they violated the server by destabilizing a market that would be complete shit (due to timeline)without the dupes.
It is not a stretch of the imagination that they used this+real+ cornering of high market items to invest in toons that they could park and create an insurmountable advantage. That's great for the 6-7 people who would truly benefit the said system(RMT,Epenis,etc). The hundreds of people who want to have a world outside of EQ, that is the epitome of rediculousness. You never had to come CLOSE to working this hard for pixels on a live server.
On live you put in 30 days of solid PM raiding and you got in a guild, then depending on the rules of said guild you got loot. I ran a raiding guild, i know how it worked.
Do I really think all of TMO are dirty scumbags? Nope. Do i think more than 2 people know about what went down with the duping? Absolfuckingloutely. Friends talk to each other. Those guys were friends with EVERYBODY it seems. Combined with the absolute anonymous-ness of the internet and the game we play, the likelyhood is near 100%. The entirety of TMO, since IB left anyway, is Gordon Gecko levels of greed.
The TMO corporation has ruined what "fun" the endgame of eq is. Rogean should have done with the SEC does in situations like this and remove every dragon scale, every trak tooth, every Trak BP banked by TMO. No redistribution, just deleted. Corporations get hellva fines for breaking the rules.....eventually.
If TMO wants to adjust and start working with the community. I would love and champion them. The cancers that are in that guild need to be cut out. (Alarti, suprisingly, isn't a cancer in game), If they want race for targets, great. If they don't break kite rules...wonderful. Competition is GOOD. Monopoly is bad. Even Medieval wars had rules.
Cut this head off and let a new uber guild arise. If they do not play by the rules/cheat, delete their guild too. Do you really want a replication of Fennin Ro here?
