People do what they feel is right
Quote:
The ~80% who only did it because everyone they knew was doing it without getting caught or punished were what the GMs were probably trying to save. So, by not treating everyone as the 20%'er, the staff now has to devote extra resources and effort to keeping ahead of the hard-core cheaters. I applaud their decision to give a break to some who no doubt were drawn in by peer pressure or loyalty to their friends. The punishment dealt is probably sufficient to keep them rolling straight. Unfortunately, the threat is not gone, and hopefully the GMs/Devs will the arms race in future. As one new to Project 1999, I have to say that this has not deterred me from coming on board, because this server is what I have been looking for since I quit Live. I see a lot of passionate people here on these boards and making posts in this thread, and I have met a lot of pleasant folks online, so the darkness of this event has not obscured the game. | |||

The reasoning the guild was raid suspended in the first instance was because an OFFICER was caught and should be held to a higher regard as he represents the guild and is a LEADER of the guild. The second instance was a member and the guild was told they were "harboring cheaters" by nilbog himself. (Talk about 1 sided opinion) I agree that the 365+ accounts should be perma banned as well as the IP's of those users. But I'm a conservative minded kind of guy. <3 Sworen | |||

I think alot of people with 500+ posts here tend to be self-serving by default...
I made a poll about the subject at hand. Bantering about the decision beyond just releasing frustration if you have it is unproductive. Here is the bottom-line x7: 1)People came here for classic EQ as it was advertised. If the Devs/Gms say they are going to stop cheating, I believe them. If I didn't I would not play anymore. If you do not believe them, then why play the game that they control? 2)Never in the history of decisions is everyone happy after one is made. 3)Cheaters are now going to be targets by everyone, not just Devs/Gms. If I see something strange I will report it. Use 3rd party programs at your own risk. If they do not benefit you, getting booted for them is going to suck isn't it? 4)Guilds who have officers that cheat might want to reconsider that policy. 5)If you cheated to get an item or Plat, you are not playing the game. 6)If you do not cheat to get an item or plat, you are playing the game. 7) If playing this game brings you frustration, anger and stress there is most likely something better to do with your time. (I guarantee the longer you think about that the more sense it will make.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This all being said, I do not feel throwing up topics like this in Server chat is appropriate. Many people do it to bait others, spread rumor, especially over hot topics and everyone knows better. Hasinbad, opening up a discussion in Sever Chat about quashing discussions so new members aren't alienated falls into this category. The moment you wrote the title of the thread, you became a hypocrite.
