No?
Lets break it down to easy to digest morsels so you can understand it:
One person found an exploit and then shared it with another person.
Those people used the exploit for a bit a very long time ago.
Over the course of the last year or however far back they went, anyones character (Not characters belonging to the 2 cheaters) who was logged in for any reason was banned / suspended for 2-4 weeks.

Front of Post
Recently we discovered an exploit that, if abused, could generate platinum. We restarted the servers the other day to patch it, and begun investigations into abusers. We found 3 people that have been abusing it for quite a while.

These were not characters being constantly used by the cheaters.
These were not characters bought using duped platinum/items.

All the accounts that the two individuals owned, are banned. so Yendor are you saying that two TMO players are able to dominate the server? cause that is what it sounds like.
two of my accounts are of the 86, my cleric, and my other cleric. no doubt used to rez the fallen on a raid after i had to leave. My whistle is clean but I cannot access my account. I am raid suspended because the officers didnt know what these two did in private. PRIVATE, no one in TMO knew except those two.

actually my cleric that is 52 is male, I tried to play him but, it was too weird and awkward. I like playing a cleric, that c-heal landing when tank is <10percent is delightful.
so, yeah, i have a new female high elf cleric.

If our guild was funded by duped money, why would we bother to sell MQs and stuff along those lines? Why would we farm for countless hours to afford things? Why would our officers have to award loot that was bought from EC through a process that generally takes weeks, when we secretly had infinite money to buy every item on the market?
The vast majority of TMO speaks out strongly against cheating and RMT behind closed doors, so believe what you want- but so many of these statements from the crowd are complete nonsense.

No one doubts the ignorance in the matter, you gave some platinum to dude for some characters, no questions asked. Money funneled to http://www.platlord.com which is now devoid of any and all items

The 2 individuals who duped some gems/bars forever ago have apologized to us on our forums for tainting our name and hurting the status of the characters who are now in limbo and since then have been banned from our forums and will never be allowed to raid with us again under any character.
The big RMT bust was a single individual who sold off his account for a very small sum of money (a couple hundred dollars).

You really believe 86 accounts were banned over something so insignificant? really naive

Every item ever acquired from a raid with TMO can be tracked. We keep extremely well documented excel spreadsheets and know what was looted, who looted it, what character it is now on, and if it was sold we know to whom and for how much.
Our own members keep each other in check and people would be up in arms if anything did not add up- believe me when I say we have people who are way too into keeping track of this shit for anything to go unnoticed.
You people act as if we generated infinite platinum to buy everyone 10 characters to dominate the raid scene.
The truth is that even if we all were level 1 right now with no gear, we would level up, get geared and keyed, and crush the competition all over again.
WHY? Because our guild has the largest collection of motivated players on the server who will track and kill mobs at any time of day 24/7.
EQ has always been about who puts in more time, etc, and those people are the ones who see top end gear and raid content. Is it fair and does it allow everyone to experience all the content that they may have missed years ago? No. Does it let everyone share loot equally among the various guilds? No. WHY? Because that is not how everquest works, now, or ever.
It is a game that rewards the few who have far too much time on their hands. Its not something to brag about, and at the same time its not something to hate people for. Others choose to spend their time playing other games or participating in other hobbies. Just because you choose not to do these things, does not entitle you bash others for their life choices.
