* Do not exploit Out-of-Character (OOC) mechanisms to create an advantage in the game. This includes cutting link or quitting to avoid consequences.


The fact of the matter is, most of the world is set so that you cannot type "quit" and log out there. This is not accidental. Dropping link so that you don't have to walk back to town is against the rules.

Yes, sometimes people need to drop link for a time - to use the restroom, deal with an emergency, whatever. And sometimes they can't get back before they get automatically logged out.

However, your version of what you did lines up pretty clearly with "Yeah, I dropped link so I wouldn't have to walk into your trap, because I wanted to quit out." And yeah, that's against the rules.
