Wait…are you suggesting that somehow Amazon organized a group of people to dupe items, flood the in game economy with money, and then did not ban them because it was all an inside job?
You one of those flat earther, anti vaxer, 911 was an inside job, and the holocaust did not happen types aren’t you?
Devs have been wrong dozens of times, so I’m not sure why you’d bring that up… Just look at when they said that drop chances were working properly in launch week, or when they said that drop chances of loot from chests were equal to chanes from drops off kills. There’s too many times to list here…
…. Except all the shit he did wrong. Every dupe and exploit and attempt are traceable, traceable and verifiable. If he was part of the last round of bans I doubt what he did wrong was “nothing”
Usually the 24 hr ban is to give them time to fully investigate/remove the gains of what they received. Least with other mmos. If a longer ban is warranted then they will issue it. It has nothing to do with “statistics” honestly i laugh at the people who claim nw is dead ext. Player bases rise and fall as people grow bored or find new interest. Once new content comes out it will spike yet again.
It’s very simple why people generally do not get banned longer right away. It’s the reason why something like the death penalty should never be used.
People make mistakes ánd people abuse.
That’s all. 3 strike system is fair and yes, you could get away from duping things the first time and only get a 24hrs ban. You’ll be ethically flawed and a lot of people will do it, but it’s the compromise we need to make.
(ps. Because something is possible, does not mean it’s the right thing to do)
