You beat me to it Odie [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Not to mention this group of folks were involved with over a hundred accounts that were temporarily banned for exploiting P1999 for an innumerable amount of platinum into the economy.

Which brings me to my next question: Why do the RMT folks get permanently banned as opposed to temporary bans given out to the game exploiters? Seems to me the real damage is not even comparable. Some Joe buys a FBSS for $20 from platlord and his account gets the death penalty where as P1999 Platinum exploiters get a month or two ban? I am all for a draconian punishment for rule breakers, however the judgement being served in these two cases is like giving the High School weed dealer the guillotine and then letting El Chapo and his murdering buddies perform community service for snorting a pallet of cocaine in a human trafficking hotel..[You must be logged in to view images.

There seems to be a lot of confusion over this.

Only 2 people were exploiting. We banned every account they had logged into over the course of ~3 years, even if it was only a single time. When the actual owners of the accounts petitioned, we dropped the bans to suspensions on a case-by-case basis, so long as the account was clean and had a limited number of logins from one of the people who exploited.

If we had thought leadership or a larger portion of the guild was involved, we would have disbanded the guild and held leadership responsible.

The exploiters themselves got not only their accounts permanently banned, but also a number of accounts that weren't even theirs banned as well (based on high # of logins)

So, yes, I'd say that's substantially worse.
