I should say that I don't play on the island involved, so I'm only getting the picture presented of the problem here on the forum. But it does seem as though some thought needs to go into what can be done when a substantial and long-term case of cheating gives a realm a serious in-game advantage and other players are obviously very angry about it. When people have invested recreational time playing against a rule breaking advantage, it's perfectly understandable for them to be angry.
Part of Battlemaster is the team-based gameplay. Making a comparision to sports, a player on the Aurvandil team has been found to have broken the rules in the most serious fashion over a very long period of time. Therefore, it's not unreasonable that the team should also be sanctioned in some way. Also, honest players in Aurvandil aren't really harmed by any limited form of sanctions placed on the realm, because every other realm in which they play is unharmed.
