I am with you 100percent alawen.
I also farmed plat legit for the last 3 months. Never cheated ever. My wife quit this server 3 months ago. So I just had fun farming named and doing the EC selling thing. But after all the things you mentioned I gave up. Maybe 2 weeks ago. : ) I was even banned for doing nothing. I mean nothing.... , but I was unbanned 4 days later at least.
The hack programs and the duping is what gets me. I stay away from the raiding because of the monopolizing and drama.
I had fun trying to farm plat though. Even though I don't need anymore. Just lately every named is ganked sooo fast. Unless I sit at 1 camp and never afk. F that.
I have decided that I may just play during kunark / velious when I'm reallly bored. I think I'll have fun with the challenges in some of the dungeons. The player base has ruined the thrill of getting any loot. Which is what really draws me in. But i'll probably just play on one of the other servers. I will have more fun alone , than dealing with the lame , cheating, duping, training, stealing, rmt, assholes on this server.

I'm rambling and not even starting to make any sense to myself. Peace in the middle east , maybe see yall during kunark. "well i'll be deep in a dungeon soloing where noone is near.... : )
If there was only a way to weed out all the cheaters. I know the devs do a lot to try and stop the shit , but tooo many bad apples.
