Give them all the title "Cheater" so when they return we will always know their shame

Actually he just sounds like someone who is using logic instead of emotion. It's totally understandable to be mad at those who cheated and want your internet justice, but what he said is for the most part true. Do you honestly think someone that has Fungi tunics got them by clicking on a "fungi tunic" macro and they just appeared in his backpack?

His other statement was spot on too. If most of TR is online and not suspended, then what does that say about the cheaters? If it's that simple to cheat in the game and gain this huge advantage, then why aren't the cheaters the ones with the raid mobs on lockdown?

*crickets*

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?

On one hand people are applauding Rogean for catching the hackers, while on the other they're QQ about how he isn't being harsh enough. The admins are the only ones who truly know exactly what was being done and by who, if they decide this is punishment enough then why not leave well enough alone? I'm not sure which is worse, the cheaters QQ about being caught or the lynch mob QQ about them not being punished enough.

Definitely a hacking piece of shit trying to defend the lax nature of the punishments in server history.

Your argument is inherently flawed. If it's not such a big advantage, why did 365 accounts get suspended? People wouldn't bother if it wasn't worthwhile. I'm always confused when shit like this happens and people want to go soft and be sympathetic.

Because it was just that easy to do? I'm not saying it wasn't advantageous, I'm saying that it wasn't god mode and a free ticket to the winner's circle. It was "worthwhile" because they thought they wouldn't get caught and probably took no longer than 10 minutes to download and install.

I'm not soft or sympathetic at all and am ok with the punishment, I'm simply not nerd raging like a lot of people are about it. You have a right to be pissed and some of us have a right to be "meh". That's all.

I'm always confused when so many people get into an uproar over pixels on the internet. It's a game. A rather awesome game, but still a game nonetheless. If a game can upset me that much then I'd prefer not to play it in the first place as it doesn't sound healthy.

I killed Hadden many times before Kunark came out trying to get that damn earring. Was never more difficult than zoning in and running for 30 seconds over that little hill by the lake. Cheaters could zone in and look without having to even run. Damnit they're lazy too.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or pity you honestly. If someone isn't mad enough at cheaters then they are cheaters too? Internet lynch mob mentality at it's finest.

Didn't you stop playing or something? If so why are you so upset at a game you no longer play?

The people who are running around EC shouting about how they have stacks of fungi's for when they get back are idiots. The same as the people on here calling everyone that doesn't want to burn the witch a cheating scumbag. Most of those people in EC are lying if not all of them.

I'm guessing that they didn't delete all gear because if they had the server would have taken just as big of a population hit as it would have if they had banned the accounts. This current punishment may not seem harsh at first glance and most people are focusing on the money lost but IMO the experience lost is a much larger punishment. People are asking for a title or a list but the level loss in itself will be enough for any active member of a guild to be spotted and weeded out. If the offenders care at all about their guilds this should be a pretty bad punishment.

Hacking has a negative impact on the server but our population is what keeps the classic feel and IMO it's what needs to be preserved at all costs. I'd be willing to put money down that at least 80% of the people who were suspended stop using MQ or Myseq on this server. Since this new detection seems pretty darn good that other 20 or so % that don't stop will be quickly banned. Personally I think this was the best approach possible.
