First note - this isn't about cheating. Never was. Don't bring cheating into this.

But the fact remains that Vazanir did not break any rules, thus he shouldn't have been punished. Three times he quit out after a cabal raid. Good, maybe it prevented him from doing something drastic.

Maybe he was tired of being the only Scion on that ever does anything except complain about forms. Maybe going up against a hoarde isn't fun. Maybe he needed a smoke break before he got in there and kicked some tail. Maybe he was on too late and his wife started yelling, and losing the sceptre only tipped the scale. Why does it matter that he logged out to begin with? Defining it to be in poor form is pretty lame.

Your two types of people who play this game are wrong.

1- There are those who mud to pk, usually to vent frustration in a stable way or to simply have fun (sometimes at others' expense, most of the time not).

2- Escapism. Usually the roleplayers who enjoy creating something and living through it.

CF wouldn't still be going if it lost either. And don't give some shallow cop out excuse that people who pk are only a detriment to the mud. Gareth, Zorszaul, Voss, Rendak, Challen, Istendil, Bemused, Neosoft, countless diku characters, Johan, even your beloved Jhyrbian, and many more focused primarily on the pk aspect. It's what makes this game work so well and not just another posmud or mush.
