Poll: Should the Management have been harsher with the 365 cheaters?

[Skope]

i guess calling you a pussy now is like beating a dead horse.

the question that i'd like answered is if you guys plan on being this lenient against cheaters in the future because i'm sure it would save a lot of people's time

I also think a lot of you fail to grasp exactly what is going on in regards to the whole cheating thing. As of right now, you have people downloading a program that is all over the web that is compatible with the titatnium version of everquest. The devs here have effectively rendered that program useless. I really doubt someone is gonna remake a version of showeq that would work on this server. The only reason the other one is so readily available is because it was originally created when titanium was the active everquest download method. Now that it's tons of xpacs behind the only demand for it would be from the people ON this server. It's not impossible, but even if it did come to fruition it wouldn't be readily available and kept in close knit circles.

I'm not saying no one will ever hack on this server again. What I'm saying is the devs have effectively cut the head off the beast, and until his offspring grow up and raise an army to assault Rogean's code again you're all safe.

I can understand the gms not wanting to ban some personal friends who may have been hacking. I just hope they arent extending leiniency to everyone to disguise favoritism.

I'd rather deal with a little favoritism and wipe away the majority of the hackers Eff em!

Actually KB I gotta give you props on this post. Well said.

I have no ill will vs kb, i dont really know him that well but he says he used it to get his seb key, which imo isnt that terrrible.

I am worried about these programs past lvl 55. This is where it starts to get bad.

It's pretty bad. KB is the guy running around with 300k of gear, too. Let that sink in and then say he's not that terrible. Check out his join date.

Kill 'em all, and let Uthgaard sort 'em out.

Seriously tho, a case-by-case evaluation would be a huge undertaking. In KB's particular case, what punishment a lot of us want may not fit the crime, but he understood the risk when he hit the "download" button.

All of which was GIVEN to me by various friends. Yeah bro I used show eq to hack my level 53 warrior to a fungi tunic even though I had the tunic long before I had the key. The one time I used show eq was for a fucking seb key. Did I have some moral objection to using it again? No, it just wasn't that fucking helpful to be honest.

Is it an advantage? Sure. Is it even a tenth as significant as people are making it out to be? Hardly.

you mean having an entire zone mapped out for you realtime and not having to sit there on a tracker actively tracking and sleeping while a "ding" wakes you up to the raid target spawning isn't a massive advantage? how about the fact the poor saps who didn't use it at all get kicked in the nuts?

People generally aren't angry about one seb key KB, they're angry about entire guilds getting an edge by camping a "tracker" in a zone where they know a mob is going to pop with an automatic batphone script in it. This is ridiculous and it's been going on so long (with people's knowledge) that it's now blowing up.

Yes, you shouldn't have done that, but is everyone angry at you specifically? Probalby a bit but not for the most part.
