1) In a utopian world I would like to never see anyone get banned from DDO or any MMO.
2) In a utopian world I would like to never see a player take advantage of what is clearly a programming error and not the intention of the game play.

However we are not in a utopian world are we?

Hopefully we all had for the most part good parents and I was taught by them from an early age what is right and what is wrong. I was told I had a decision to make when confronted with the temptation of things that were right and wrong and the expectations that they as parents have of me and of what society has of me. If nothing else these may be the most important things a parent can pass down to their children.

I can not feel sympathy for players that are banned because they exploit an error in programming that was clearly not the intention of the game play. The recent exploit were many of the fast rising guilds are only getting there because of using an exploit to do so, well no one can blame anyone but yourselves for this. Unfortunately if your in a guild that is doing that and your not then maybe you should have asked yourself this question.

>> Why is my guild advancing at an alarming rate over all other guilds on all servers?

If the answer is because we have a well organized guild with a bunch of hard core players then bravo good for you and finding a guild like that.

If it is because many players in your guild and maybe even yourself as well are spamming out some exploit then maybe a ban is deserved.

I have seen and heard of many players and guilds taking advantage of many exploits in the four plus years I have enjoyed this game and can say I have never used one of them. Example I have 2 ranger builds and refused to use the recent error where you could exploit many shot thank fully it is being fixed in update 5, patch 1.

Bottom line is use common sense and the lessons your parents taught you and you will be able to enjoy this game for years to come.

Correct. Technically this black and white world you are depicting is more of a fairy tale world.

So your saying that choosing not do something wrong is living in a fairly tale world? :confused:

And if your guild is rising fast because they are farming quests for guild renoun? Irestone has lots of chests, espically when the rares show and you can get quite a lot in there.

How about if your guild is hitting quests with lots of cheste because of Festivault coins? I've farmed Irestone just for coins and still collect the renoun but I'm not exploiting. I'm soloing on my 18 Wiz/2 Rogue. Banshee everything and rack up the kills, loot the chests, rinse and repeat till ransack the static chests.

I was farming Shroud on my two flagged characters and I was racking up the points but I didn't care about that personally. I was farming for ingrediants like I always do. Lots of chests there with ample opportunity for guild renoun. How about if a guild is on a Shroud farming run for ingrediants but not renoun but still get plenty of renoun because they hit loot all and the renoun token is in the chest and it gets looted also. Guilds shouldn't be forced to give up renoun because they are gaining it too fast.

If the Dev's knew about something that they decided to call an exploite but didn't label it as such before then it shouldn't be an exploite and should only be called such when they decide it is an exploite AND should tell people that it is considered such and should stop the behavior or they will face those repercussions.

I'm not one of those that have been banned but I'm not sure if I'm playing within THEIR SECRET RULES when I'm farming stuff and just playing the game.

idk why i'm bothering to post really.

why try? why bother investing in anything if it can be taken from you at a whim with no why?

This thread will be cannon fodder.

Anyone banned for exploiting, which only happens following an investigation, may appeal through the process outlined in the email they receive regarding the ban.
