Don't try to tell Me that I am a "bad" player and punish Me for using any and all resources at My disposal to complete a quest. This subject has really polarized the playerbase of DDO, and what has been done? NOTHING! Instead of FIXING THE CODE, You decide to punish the people who pay Your salaries? Ludicrous, incredible, and ridiculous are the adjectives that spring to mind when I think about this subject, and what has been done to actually fix the problems with the AI in DDO. You want to go "Big Brother" on the playerbase and ban people? Fine. I can go spend My money elsewhere. Until I am banned for trying to play My favorite game of all time the way it is coded, I will continue to use any and all resources at My disposal to finish any and all quests in the game.

DON'T BLAME THE PLAYERS FOR YOUR OWN INCOMPETENCE!!!!!!!!
I just got done reading this whole thread...whew! And, this was probably the best post I saw. I don't understand banning players in an already floundering game.

Yes, I did smoke pot and yes I did inhale.

That being said, the only reason people may be remotely frightened by "exploit bullies" in this game is because of Turbine's reaction to people that exploit. Honestly, the easiest solution to this whole problem is to just shut up and stop banning people. If you, Turbine, do not appreciate your player base using a mechanic of the game that you created because you feel it manipulates the way it was intended to be played...well, then stop pointing the finger at the player base and just fix it. This thread is going to do nothing more than drive a bigger divide between people that exploit and don't exploit.

Mr. Kobold,
Okay, I would like to say that greater than 50% of the player base intentionally choose to exploit but I know I will just get flamed here by forum groupies about how wrong I am. So I am going to pose a hypothetical situation instead. Let's say "hypothetically" that 50% of your player base "intentionally" choose to exploit. If you did "clean house" you would cut your customer base in half, would you be okay with that?
