Let me preface this by stating I am not arguing any GM decisions. It's their server and how the hand out punishment is their business. I haven't always agreed with their decisions and have voiced my opinion on them, but ultimately I respect whatever they choose.
That being said, there may have been GM decisions regarding IB members that you don't agree with, but similarly there are ones that affected DA as well that everyone seems to forget in threads like this. I'm sure Raren could enlighten us on certain unbanned members of DA who were involved in his little dupe scandal. Or how about Darkith? Has everyone forgot about the DA tagged L20 rogue rolling around in an RBB, Vox Spear and Bone Razor? How about the Druid in DA who is currently in possession of a CT staff that was suppose to have been deleted by GMs? There are more instances, but I think I've proved my point...
What I'm getting at is that the GMs do the best they can. Nilbog isn't letting Xzerion just roll around making updates to screw DA, just as Rogean, Cyrius, Uthgaard and the other GMs aren't allowing IB members to run around doing whatever they please. They aren't perfect, but do a pretty damn good job in my opinion. You just only remember the instances where you feel DA got screwed, and forget the ones that benefited you guys.

I'm glad someone said it, because this has been reverberating on various forums for a while now. There was a LOT of shady shit that happened before that was simply forgotten about under the assumption that people didn't give a crap. Well, we do, and every time something new pops up it's absolutely disheartening. I also find that it's quite amusing that it's Loke outing some of it, but that's neither here nor there (sort of like how Virtuosos apologizes for cheating yet didn't seem to care for months and months prior when other people used it and when he himself did).
I understand it's hard to be fair and balanced, but can we at least even the god damn playing field so that there's no incentive to SEQ at all on raids? Please please please dump the stupid fucking variance. If I have to deal with trains and continuous FRAPS then so be it, so long as i know that there isn't somebody who's getting an unfair advantage that's damn near impossible to detect. If there's not going to be a downloaded p99 program to detect the thing then something *has* to be done. This isn't the first time a guild has been caught using something like this or knowing timers beforehand, but it is the first time an entire guild has been punished for it. And the prior offense was FAR more malicious and yet the leadership wasn't banned nor reprimanded (at least to my knowledge). I love the GMs and the staff here, but that really left a horrendous taste in my mouth.
I'm not here to bitch moan and cry, I just want an even playing field.
