SOE goes overboard on punishmentsFollow

Just a warning to those who even think about exploiting anything in one of their games for simply using a quest to go exile on a pvp server they deleted many characters on the pvp servers and on top of that 20 day suspensions.

even though going exile was supose to be one of the big points to pvp on their servers

I don't understand all the rules on PVP, but the only exile quest I know of is Bone Bladed Claymore? I don't see how being exiled helps you on PVP?

That is nothing though. One time there was a plat dup in eq1. The people who did it got banned (fine they deserve it). However they also banned players who sold stuff to people who dupped plat. Now how does a player with a bazaar merchant set up stop somebody who has dupped plat from buying from them?

Ya they did the same thing in EQ2 when there was a plat dup bug. Anybody who had the duped plat on them no matter how were banned.



I have a very hard time believing this.

would you say the same thing to somebody who went to do that quest and his own side jumped on him?

so a group of exiles running together is worth getting a character wiped?

I don't agree with the punishment. My idea of a exploit is something you know good and well is wrong the minute you do it (although Im sure some will argue that is the case here). When you find a way to dup plat you know good and well your stealing basically. In this case they simply did a quest in the game. SOE should have removed this quest etc.

I think the 72 hour ban should have been enough punishment IMO. Think about the people who might ahve paid 1 year advance for the account. SOE does not refund their money. Think about the people who have over a year of time invested in their account. They should not lose it over being naughty on a PVP server.

Sorry to you who lost your accounts. Far as feeling sorry for the people who got killed.....ITS PVP it happens get over it! I have said all along PVP is nothing but people finding some dirty way to kill you. Far as I am concerned what they did is no worse then picking at somebody 8 levels below them wiht half health.

The so called "Exile" mechanic for high level players is not even in the game yet. They're adding a quest to the game (not just PvP) to give anyone at any level the capability to betray. That quest is supposed to be added in a future live update. The only people who are supposed to be exiles now are the lowbies in the middle of the existing Betrayal quest.

Yes, people have been enthusiastic about the exile system, setting up exile guilds and playing as outlaws without loyalty to (or support from) a home city. Blackguard even said he was intrigued by the ideas people were coming up with. BUT NOT UNTIL AFTER IT'S IN THE GAME! Geeze.

These people jumped the gun via an exploit just so they could kill anyone they wanted to without faction consequences. Now you're making a feeble attempt to get back at them the only way you can, by whining (how ironic) and misrepresenting what happened. (That's lying to you and me, skippy.) Sorry, no sympathy.

BTW I also have a hard time believing they would ban you based on what you say here simply because of player whining. People exploited the mentoring system like crazy in PvP and no one was banned. There must have been something more than just ganking going on. I don't want to speculate beyond that.

kids do it for scores, we did it so we wouldnt have to kill people that were lower than us

that was fixed long before me and the ppl i went exile with went exile
