Punishment Game Abusers (Suggestion)

[Eliza Creststeel]

I do agree that 'players' who short-cut their abilities etc. are effectively thumbing their nose at those of us who earned our levels, gold, etc. But, there is something to be said about the idea that pirates 'do what it takes to take what they want'.

But, that is the 'spirit' of the game - not the letter of rules. How would you feel if someone was using a 3rd party Mod that gave them all the levels, weapons etc. right from the start? Personally, I'd pity that person, because what else would they have to do except PvP.

Is there any TRUE way to track cheaters? Likely not. Just seal the holes and rely on other players to RAT out those who do. Even then, wouldn't they have to MONITOR the accused?

There should be retribution, but permanent banning? That's a little much - especially when they want that $10.00 a month. Starting them back, like when you get caught cheating at cards is justice enough.
