honestly, I never thought about GM favortism (and not so much GM but the higher ups, I don't think Uthgaard favors anyone) until this.
I'm sure if it had been 300 unknowns, they all would have been banned, but seeing how there were some well known characters/players hit. I think they just went... well we can't have that now can we *slap wrists*.
In the past i've heard, and seen the end result, to what happens to accounts that are accused and found guilty of using those programs, and it's nothing as soft as this. Deleveling people a max of 6 levels and removing all their plat (combined to be around 3mil) is absolutely nothing. Especially when the items on those accounts are worth several times the plat value.
and before someone says "well they earned the items" it doesn't fucking matter. As soon as you cheat you broke the rules, who gives a fuck what you did with the cheat or why, you just did.
in the end tho, it's (as most say) their "sandbox" and they can do whatever they want. So who are we to demand actual justice from the Chinese.
