There are few things worse, and more demoralizing for honest players than seeing people like this getting away with it and keeping their advantages. So I hope for those that exploited it, that they lose more than what they started with.



Otherwise they'll just shrug it off and try their luck again whenever the next exploit comes along. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained" as the saying goes. And if the only thing they risk each time is losing their ill gotten gains... well, nothing to discourage them from trying again until they get away with it.



While winding up more poor, or losing their account entirely is a pretty good motivation to behave and not try their luck, because the price to pay for getting caught would be high enough to not make it worth the risk.



On other MMOs I've played in the past, every player knew that the devs were so lax when it came to repercussions that just about everyone jumped on the exploit train the moment one happened. Players knew at that point that not participating and being an honest player would only punish -them- in the end when those who exploited came away with tons of cash and exclusive mounts.



Sure, they couldn't log into their accounts for three days... but come on... who the hell cares about a stupid three day ban when you just got away with getting stuff that would normally take years to acquire through regular play? (Or a great deal of dollars in that particular game's case )



TL; DR version: Letting these guys off easy will only encourage more people to do it in the future. So I hope they really get what they've got coming there. Oh, hell yeah! I hope you guys crack down hard on the cheating jerks that exploited the hell out of this and benefited from it!There are few things worse, and more demoralizing for honest players than seeing people like this getting away with it and keeping their advantages.
