Default Re: So how \'bout those Mets?

Considering this is coming from someone who 'Banned' Norfleet months ago, I would have to venture a guess that your mind was made up long before any 'proof' or 'hard work' was given. The problem with the bandwagon is it's always ready for more members, on their way to other places.

As I have said before, and maybe it's not being clear. IF: This is Cheating (which it appears to be at least to some) THEN: Some sort of 'official' action as far as forums go will be taken. IF: Illwinter and Co. feel the need or inclination to judge and lay down a punishment THEN: It will be administered and more than likely provided to the community though the reasoning or depth of the first IF may or may not be revealed.

If you want to take a guess at what stage this is in, look at the beginning.

I would also like to say, that cheating has been going on previous to this one incidient, by more than one person before in the past and more than likely will in the future. There is a reason that "Cheat Prevention" was implemented. Not some, by the fly "This would be a cool feature" type of decision. But one based on need.

So take it for what it's worth, but if Norfleet was cheating then he was most certainly not the first, and most certainly wasn't the Last, and most certainly was known about to a degree.

I deny that. I am not a witch-hunter, but I am prepared to accept what I regard as damning evidence when it's presented. Even if I don't like the person that's presenting it (which I do) or do like the person it's damning (which I admit I don't).

Well certainly you feel the need to give accolades to something that is only circumstancial evidence. KO gave a breakdown, which is very damning in and of itself but could hardly be construed as 'irrefutable proof' especially considering that it hasn't been found out how to do it.

Until a way is found out how this is accomplished and can be understood I am more concerned with it's impact and not that it was done. Once it can be found out how to do it, either Gem Stockpile or Magic Item placement and then it could be said that /these are the weaknesses in the cheat prevention code/ and /with these weaknesses X is possible/ then I will say irrefutably that X = Cheating. And go from there.

If it's found that there is no sane way in which something like this could happen, or happen with only one parties participation I am not prepared to place full blame and furious witch hunting on any one individual.
