Actually he just sounds like someone who is using logic instead of emotion. It's totally understandable to be mad at those who cheated and want your internet justice, but what he said is for the most part true. Do you honestly think someone that has Fungi tunics got them by clicking on a "fungi tunic" macro and they just appeared in his backpack?

His other statement was spot on too. If most of TR is online and not suspended, then what does that say about the cheaters? If it's that simple to cheat in the game and gain this huge advantage, then why aren't the cheaters the ones with the raid mobs on lockdown?

*crickets*

It is a legitimate question. Perhaps because the cheating wasn't as game breaking as you want to believe and the plat being removed wasn't due to gaining it "illegally", but simply part of the punishment for getting caught?

No crickets for thinkers. From what it sounds like there were people who got suspended from the larger guilds; who knows what bosses they were checking with mods? Obviously people aren't chain duping Fungi Tunics, but how many times did these people zone into OS on a server pop and said "Oh shit Fungi King is up, lets go wipe him out". I'd be running around like a kid on Christmas morning on server ups. Hadden up? Pyzjn up? Petrifin up? Bilge up? Do I need to continue?

Your argument is inherently flawed. If it's not such a big advantage, why did 365 accounts get suspended? People wouldn't bother if it wasn't worthwhile. I'm always confused when shit like this happens and people want to go soft and be sympathetic. Don't like the consequences? Don't cheat next time. And for those of you naive enough who think "it's not big deal, it didn't effect me" -- yeah, they didn't walk up and piss in your cheerios, but you can thank them for an altered economy.
