Hey chuui you know what the difference between level 2 and a ban?

Yeah I do: Exploiters getting off lightly. When the rules clearly state a ban as punishment, anything else is a blessing for them and thus they have no right to complain. It's also giving the wrong the impression, some idiot could spam all day at Mara C and they get a ban. Did they "hurt" any one? No, people could have just simply moved to another area. Yet they get bans. Did they exploit the system for personal gain? No. Yet they get bans. But these exploiters caused far more harm than the spammer. But they get a simple reset? That doesn't add up.

You state the difference is $20. So what's the difference between an exploiter and a mass spammer?

I'm glad they fixed it.  You all can thank G7G for finding this and reporting it.  =)  We were seroiusly hot on the trail of Foresaken and their fast leveling ways.  A level 2 noob would walk into a building and walk back out a lvl 50 in an hour or so.
 
Sorry sploiters... it wasn't a very good sploit anyways.  You would end up with a lvl 50 noob cause you had no money to upgrade your abilities.  Leveling up in 10 minutes isn't worth the lack of fun.  Seriously, the info is where it's at.
 
But the reasoning behind deleveling ppl and not banning is due to those who just find the exploit and not realizing that it was one.  Although after about 2 levels in 5 min, I'm sure you woud feel guilty for doing it.

Since I'm going to start up the Update 40 thread, I'll leave this one at this: The players caught using the exploit had all XP removed that they gained using the exploit. Ever player who received this punishment used the exploit a minimum of 100 times. If a player went from 50 to 2, it's because that's how much XP they got out of the exploit.
