Question for Cz

[Getwrangled]

Item changes:

In a freak world-wide accident, all existing Arul Saba gems have been shattered! These gems are now useless in the creation of Arul Saba bracelets. Their only use now is to sell in shops for money.


Why doesnt FC do this to exploiters rather than ban them? It seem it would be better to have the "gods" body slam them and their items (across all alts) and leave them at level 1 in the back yard.

You re-incarnate with the warning, your lucky to be alive, do not upset the balance of the notum again. Go forward, and try to live more honest this time.

This way you continue to bill said "customer".

They learn a lesson, their friends learn a lesson. What happened to you? You were level 178 yesterday!!

Just curious, if the exploit is closed, its no longer a threat.

[_______________Tieku]

That has to be one of the best ideas I have ever heard lol!!!!!!!!!

Jesus FC has to do this, it would be great!

[Demenzia]

Now yeah, I can imagine the face exploiters would make... back at level 1 after aaaaall those efforts *s******s*

[_____________Joramon]

I'd very much like to see that!

[Cz]

I'll take the suggestion to the exploits team. Can't do much more than that though.

[Getwrangled]

Would like to know if they laughed.

Do you think its amusing?

[______________Jerrak]

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

/me does a dance of 'trox to please the Developement Gods

[Gearbox]

I prefer seeing them banned, personally. Why should they get a second chance at all? They've proven themselves to be of the exploiting mind-set, and even if this exploit is closed, they'll look for another.

[secondkenlon]

This would *rock*!


Especially if the listing of crushed exploiters was posted on the website. Hall of shame, anyone?

[_____________Ayvalen]

While I think exploiters should be given a warning and allowed to continue play after the exploit is dealt with, smacking them around isn't going to do much, other than teach them to exploit, not get caught, and get back to where they were faster than anyone else.



edit:
1) I like the Hall of Shame idea.
2) One offense banning is a load of crap. No one should be banned for their first offense, and even if they are, a few bucks on E-bay and they are back in business again.
