I think you are extrapolating a lot from what he said. He didn't really give a benchmark for characters with legit lives who may have a lot of exploit progress too. I think he gave this example hyperbolically, not as the standard.


What's extreme? 10 epic pasts? seems kinda extreme as a number, but not extreme as a percentage if it's a triple heroic/racial who already had 12 epic pasts for epic completionist. But, if they just made a call like: turned in more than 100 or 200 sagas or something, a character with a small percentage of total progress from this exploit could fall into that category. But it also looks like extreme exploiting to say they turned in over 100 exploit sagas.

Also, it's well established that cheaters in this community tend to minimize what they've done and stir up anti-dev sentiment... so I'd take anything with a grain of salt.

I'm full on anti-cheater, but I think it would have been ok to instead of delete established characters with lots of exploit lives to just wipe all past lives. Let them keep their gear, after scrubbing duped stuff of course.
Everyone has been focused on how many pastlives people exploited, but no one has been considering how many individual times they performed the exploit. That is probably the most defining thing there. How many times did they intentionally exploit, not how many lives the improperly gained.

the level of exploiting shoud be based off the number of times they actually performed the exploit. I can say they had a moment of weakness and used it a few times and would be fine with that equalling a suspension of 30 days to 6 months. But if they used the exploit say 10-15+ times, they are dedicated exploiters and deserve to go.
