Punish Harder. Delete items.

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?

ANY amount of cheating on our server is "gamebreaking". Knowing that these people are using tools to help them make this game easier, while everyone else actually plays the game, is a slap in the face to everyone in the community. People claiming that "oh i wasnt hurting anyone else" are simply lieing to themselves, you hurt EVERYONE when you break the rules here.

And furthermore, any defense you have against cheaters using "non-gamebreaking" tools, is utterly retarded. You think that having a map that shows you where every mob in the zone is up, and paths, isnt an advantage?

Im for deleting ALL of these peoples gear, they didnt aquire their gear legitimately, and shouldnt be able to keep it.

And lastly. Im sure 90% of these people caught cheating were waiting for progression and more content(just as we all are), which has now digressed even further due to the fact they are trying to get ahead of the curve, and GM's are having to police that. This also effects everyone, so simply saying "oo i dont cheat what do i care" is irresponsible at best.
