Their investigation found them 5 people who were exploiting a supposedly fixed bug in the code and was a breach of contract, and as such delivered a punishment for there crimes. Its in my opinion all 5 should've had their planets permanently closed for the round and for the repeat offender perma banned.

Despite the "enforcers of the game handing out punishment a group of alliances took it upon themselves to punish the remaining members inside the game as well. Now what was left had nothing to do with the cheaters, was attacked an unjustified attack that had nothing to do with anybodys alliance. This act makes them no better than how america handles the world, and its sad because you europeans give us americans grief for it but yet at first chance you do the same thing, sad really.

I know this samething happened last round when some cheaters were caught, you people need to let the PA Team handle these issues and just play the damn game. This kind of self righteous cleansing punishment you feel you need to give cheaters needs to stop, its not your job or your duty, and it pulls from the fun of the game. Its gotta start somewhere.

Before you crucify me and flame me til my hair turns red, yes i am a member of xVx an alliance part of this attack, but that doesn't mean i agree to it and i refused to take part of it.
Do you actually believe that this cheating incident is the actual reason for their attack, its a convenient smokescreen to allow them to ally up and bash an alliance that was looking very strong and might have run away with the round.

The whole holier than thou attitude of many of you in this thread is ridiculous, many of you have broken the EULA in some way or another at some point in time during the course of your PA careers, whether you were caught or not is immaterial, its still hypocritical.

As for the crime in question, whilst obviously against the rules, the end results of it seem to me to be quite minor and the mitigating circumstances would to me have seemed to be worthy of some consideration when dishing out punishment, but the MH team lives for drama, its a reaffirmation of their existence when they catch some high profile people doing the wrong thing, why do you think it leaked so quickly.

Further the cheat in question, was just a more convoluted way of doing something that everyone did 3 rounds ago, this bug has existed for a long time and we should be shining the spotlight now on the inadequacies of the PA coding rather than on those tried, convicted and sentenced, they've had their days of shame its time to move forward not backward and this whole bandwagon is a ridiculous joke.
