Well then, do continue to rest on your laurels.

You really do love to make an ass of yourself, don't you?

Since we locked Mendicant, we have found and locked two more cheaters, and we are planning on adding some more features to the cheater-detection tools to make it even easier to catch them, but haven't had time yet, between implementing auto-sell offers, finalizing the region rebalance, some serious dev discussion about the future direction of the game...oh, and, y'know, all that pesky real life stuff.

So...what was that you were saying about "resting on our laurels"?

And yet, you don't catch very many ;)

Again, wanna give some examples?

If that's all you meant, then why didn't you say so?

That is NOT a rule against OOG communication. That is exactly in the same spirit as the RP guidelines against using OOC information or RPing someone else's character.

I never suggested OOG communication should be banned.

Yes, definitely, DamnTaffer, if you have evidence of multi-accounting going on, please report it. Tips from players ae great for helping to find the inobvious cheaters.

I guess no one knows why over-simplified rules lead to one of two extremes. Either they do not cover enough situations to be effective in enforcement, or they make blanket statements that overstretch themselves into legitimate areas.

I think we were all ignoring what you said because it was incredibly condescending.

How incredibly mature of you. I remember pulling that line in junior high. Also, if you're reacting to the condescending nature of my remarks, grow a skin. Despite what you may see in the movies, arrogance is no more a determiner of correctness than outward appearance is of character.
