Frustrated with the banning of accounts

[Lianon]

The reason why 2nd chances are given is because server population is higher up on the priority list than we all thought. If you permanently ban too many people, then your permanent player base % gets slashed...if the % gets too low, being a GM isn't so fun anymore.

It's a sick reality and it basically means that people will also push the envelope to break rules. Ultimately, people who do things honestly will stop playing because they're at a blatant disadvantage to the cheaters. Disadvantage in EQ means more time to do everything and I would venture to say that people doing it the honest way are already short on time.

I support permanent bans.

I'm in favor of banning the accounts personally. I think most guilds are removing the people who got caught once their two weeks is lifted anyways and in a way, if you're up at the high end, it's going to to be very obvious who got caught.

If the GMs want to grant a 'one time leniency,' then fine... unban ALL previously banned accounts.

I could live with that. At least it is fair.

I mean... Abacab training a bunch of cheaters (we find out now) isn't near as bad as getting away with a slap on the wrist for cheating.

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.

Rules don't matter much if they aren't enforced.

[bakkily]

just fucking ban them i say

but yes, ive posted before on another of these on going, everything is posted in this or another thread in the same way by another person

i stated that with these many accounts gone, it would make the server amount go down, but i do agree with making them Soandso The cheater whom was judged, or something to show a crossbones effect that being they cheated, ass clowns

[bakkily]

i hope this happening hasnt made any new people want to not play on this server, usally cheaters are always selfish and think only about them selves, so now its time to pay, i just hope this doesnt get more ugly then what it currently is like on the threads, but i figure in a week these threads may die down

hell, maybe we should put this to the vote in a poll, would have to be 3 sides, ban them to hell! those who wish for a further punishment, or leave it be, they got enough

Polls are pointless. They don't do anything meaningful. Nobody's going to get banned. They decided upon the punishment and are implementing it. Accept the situation and move on. There is no point in continuing to complain about the decision as it will not affect the outcome at all.
