In an MMO where the wheels on the bus go round and round forever and ever some smuck who speed hacks or dupes a million plat or slays HIS DARGON FOR THE MIGHTY RALLOS ZEK has at best a minor bearing on game play for the masses and for a short period of time in a game that is potentially infinite.
What guildx is doing on mine or any other persons server isn't really a detriment to anyone else. The only outrage people have here is the fact they got off easier than them. They didn't "work as hard" etc. Half the people crying are the same ones who will use an in game exploit when it benefits them to knock out content faster to be "first" blah blah.
This is the whole reasoning (aside from some quality information) that sites like this are popular. It's a pissing match about whose pixels can beat up whose pixels first.
Do I think it's right they got a little action on the side and some hook ups. Not in particular but it has such little bearing on my MMO world and to Joe Nonuber that it makes little to no difference either way.

Way to miss the point. This is a game. Bottom line. In any game, people in a position to alter the rules and mechanics to the benefit of one party while excluding others, and do so, are wrong. Every time. Sorry you failed to see the analogy.
In game where people pay the same subscription fees it is even more wrong.
Im not talking about exploits, cheats, any of that other crap. I'm talking about a Sony employee deciding that rules and policys don't apply to a given customer, and actively colluding with and expediting the breach of rules and policy for that customer.
I am sorry to see that you are so short sighted as to think that allowing this to go through is minor and short term.
Will you think the same when JoePVE convinces GM Pal that he needs his level 80 to be copied over to PvP because its just too much hardship to level there. Its the same damned thing. Allow it once, and it will be done again.
