EX-CON,
There is a bank down the street from my house. They have money in it. You CAN go and rob it. Should you rob it?

How about this: People can die. Should you kill them?

(EX-CON here is a hint. NO!!!)

Retro,
Perhaps that is an option. However, how much would it suck when everyone is trying to sell Hunter Bows and no NPC will buy them? People should be responsible for their actions.

What you seem to be doing is asking NC to idiot proof the game and risk pissing off players who do not cause problems. Is this really your solution? I personally do not want to be responsible for what NASH, PALDO, and FCA did. Let them be punished for breaking the rules, not me and you.

re: Public Service Announcement
I don't think they should be banned. This is what NC gets for having an artificial economy. Doesn't anyone there think when they program this stuff? Pandora suddenly has 200,000 prats. Don't you think she would stop buying them? Does Pandora really have 500 million adena to blow on prats? Cmon!

Now the players pay the price for lackluster programming.

re: Public Service Announcement
The only problem i felt with this banning is the only reason they were banned is becuz it was such a large amount that was made. If they gunna perm ban for an exploit it should happen to small and large, Nc's justice system is a lil off. Tho they also should have looked at it in a buissness sense Dep is alrdy dying off of customers then they ban some of there best. I hope at least they learn from lineage and fix any of these problems so it does not affect lineage2. Maybe Nc sees it a different way tho, i bet next time theres a bug like that some1 gunna report it. Persoanlly tho i think 80% of the people on Dep server if they found/been able 2 do that they would have as well, i mean if some1 in real life coming up to you and being like hey wanna make alot of money for no work ? what are you gunna say no ?

Even if you don't like me, or won't listen to me, read what Lebannen just said. His explanation is so much better than anything I could have written myself.

There are plenty of reasons to hate NC and their support methods; this is not one of them.

re: Public Service Announcement
To you people thinking this is overly harsh, this all happened after NC posted the change in prices to the test server changelog. This means they knew about the bug, and were changing it. The parties on Dep then used this fact to look at why they were changing it; this isn't a case of buying low and selling high, it's a case of using an unforseen extra factor - castle tax - to make a profit on an otherwise unprofitable transaction.

Anyone who "finds this out" after NC makes the change on test server, proceeds to refer to it as an exploit, and uses the exploit to make money - on their heads be it. That is clearly an exploit situation. Only the prince/princess can know how much money is being made, but I can imagine it adding up veeeery easily. I feel a little sorry for anyone who was just asked by their prince/princess to buy and sell scrolls without a reason, but I believe NC would have checked pledge chat logs and individual chat logs.

Anyone who knowingly abuses an exploit to get themselves ahead in a game deserves a ban of some kind, imho, and although a permaban is on the harsh end it's still pretty fair. Exempting people from this rule just because they're high-level is stupid; it's discriminatory, it unbalances a server further and sets a bad example.

If your friends were banned, that's a good reason to quit; but defending an exploit action would just make the game more unbalanced. I'm always sad to see people leave, but I can also see why some bans are made. Exploits fall into the same category as bots and dupe cheats for a reason.
