So the guy who just wanted Ultravision/EB is now a psychopath/sociopath or anti-social. Yes that makes perfect sense!
Another misconception that you all seem to have is that all of these cheaters were equipped with the same tools. Most public releases of MQ for P99 did not include tracking/warping/showing mobs on map/the other actually powerful stuff. Most of them just had the things that were less likely to get you caught. The actual number of the people that had warping/tracking ect is probably much smaller than the 365 who were banned.
A lot of these people were probably working class dudes like you or I. Possibly parents without much time for the game who wanted to make it more convenient. I can understand being mad but calling them ALL psychopaths, sociopaths, or antisocial freaks is a bit dramatic. I'm sure we have some of those people on both sides of this argument.

Some of the comments about the cheaters is excessive but I really don't have sympathy for them.
I'm a working class guy with kids and when I wanted an EB item I camped Hadden. Took me about 12 kills to get it and it was pretty disruptive to my sleep schedule, which is already impaired by young children. I'm not complaining about the time I put in cause it was my decision but you got people getting a pretty unfair advantage that is easily translatable into 3.5k plat or several hours just for that one particular hack.
I really started on this server after Kunark launched but still had some hope to make the cash to buy a manastone in future. Just over the course of about the last month the price on it has risen by about 50k and I can't help but wonder if the price has been driven up by the quick cash made/saved by a few people benefiting from external means.
