Punish Harder. Delete items.

[casdegere]

There have been cheaters in the past and they were dealt a harsh hand as what befits such an act for a game like this. One in which there is a player made commerce especially.

The dev's decision to not Ban those that cheated this time was a decision made to pad the server and not lose a hefty amount of its player base. While I can understand this, this action is just plain unfair and bias to the rest of the player base. What this glaringly says is that having the numbers is more important then having a non-cheating player base. Those that were caught will try something different next time because that is what they do. There are cheaters and then there are the rest of us who just want a fair shake at playing a game we love.

Ok, yes I realize this is a game and lets not get to serious about it but I came here to P1999 for the specific reason that these guys actually try to curb cheating. Cheating turns this "game" into something different. Any character holding a Plat or a piece of equipment received through cheating should be completely deleted in the spirit of those banned before them. If those cheaters want to come back to the server, make a new account, they will even if they have to start over.

People have been cheating on this server, probably since it was started. I have no doubt months and months of cheating has been going on before the devs set out there 2 week net. Confiscating 3 million plat from 350 players is 8575 plat per person. Really? Are you kidding me? What do the rest of the player base get for just playing the game, populating this server with honest game play? One day of +50% xp. Cheating and nabbing Dragon loot, Fungi Tunics, T-Staffs and other premier loot worth 100's of millions of plat. And they grab 8575 from each player and xp? Are you kidding me?

You've set a precedent that it actually pays to cheat here with that that shitty decision or whatever the hell you wanna call it

Spot on, really. Wipe the chars completely or permanently delete the accounts. To say that people who took the easy road for months/years and get off by starting with 0 plat and lvl 54 and get to keep their items but take a 2 week break isn't even a slap on the wrist. REALLY poor decision. What it says is that it actually pays to cheat here because you'll get hit for a lot less than you've gained and that's a horrendous precedent

I've got to agree with removing all of their gear. deleveling to 54 along with losing platinum isn't much of a slap on the wrist. It will take most of them a week to get 60 and then it will all happen again

I'm sorry I haven't been around much, I'm still laughing from the guy who said that Diablo 2 was more competitive than Everquest.

[Raavak]

Have to admit the leniency of the punishment kinda makes me not want to play. Alot were cheating for ages, we knew they were cheating, you could complain, but you could never prove.

Lets have a parade for when they come back
