Cause that works IRL doesn't it? I should totally make a traffic violation warrant 4 years in prison just so people don't speed around the exit ramp. That shit never works, the more you enforce and the harsher the penalties are the less freedom of choice the community has.

Do you want to walk down the road where every contestable encounter has a GM there to decide who gets it? Do you really want your hand to be held that way? It might work for you if you're some sort of socialist, pro-community, everyone-gets-something carebear, but this is a competitive video game and that does not work for the majority.

Dont compare RL to video games then contradict yourself by saying "but this is a video game". You sir fail.

And no this is a video game, it doesnt follow the same rule set as IRL. GMs can and will hand out more harsh punishments for lesser crimes to prove a point, especially to repeating offenders.
