Re: Recent Bannings
Mmm... Pie! I like pie.
But anyways, it seriously does make more sense, even if it sounds like baiting. Just because a crime can be commited, and looks appealing to you as an individual, doesn't mean you should. There's (usually) a reason it's illegal... In this case, because it's an unfair advantage over other players.
The point basically is people who have no qualms with taking unfair advantages in a multiplayer game are pretty much the sort of players we really don't need, since this is a community, and the idea is to make the majority of the people happy-ish.
I mean, if someone res-killed you, it's not like you'd pass it off and say "Oh, I was baiting him -- I accepted the res and had 1 HP and everything"...

Also, I for one say no thank you to the gold wipe idea... While I hate how valueless gold is in Demise, just for an example it's all I have basically. I have about 650k gold and two of the crappiest minor artifacts in the game, being Iolo's Lute and the Luna Lance. Anything else i have is equipment I'm actively using, and that's not even BRSK leather we're talking about, let alone artifact equipment. So wiping gold -- as said before -- would basically cost me what little I have.

Okay, I have one somewhat valuable shield I got off a bone daemon, if I can just get it enhanced anyways.
