You don't accidentally pathing exploit your way to 50.

Caught = ban

It isn't like they don't know what they're doing and deserve a second chance. They chose to cheat. They chose to ignore the golden rule of online gaming that has existed since its inception. They deserve the consequences.

The only people who don't agree are either cheating themselves or are condoning such behavior, period.

I don't see how using game mechanics like buggy pathing is breaking the cardinal rule of EQ. I didn't even complain when Nihilum was doing Naggy using it - IMO find the problem and fix it, and they would have to fight through us to get it. We beat them 2 weeks in a row for control of Sol B and received a two week suspension, while they raided uncontested.

Lot of people don't even care to log on after that - Rogean showed up for 2 minutes since the server started to hand out two week suspension and threaten permas.

Throwing out perma bans for using in-game mechanics, no hack programs etc is border line laughable, document it and fix it - done. Kiting a mob with snare is cheating zomg ban, mage petting mobs down is cheating, walling aoes is cheating it goes on and on - you'd be insane not to use advantages that the game allows.
