Playing something for a long time doesn't merit respect.

Killing lots of people if you cheated to do it doesn't merit respect. And I include ooc gear gathering in this, since it makes it easier to win when alone.

Sadly I've learnt that a lot of what appear to be the hard-ass characters are, in fact, just cheats who get their friends to log on and help them when they need it.

So if he did perma... good riddance. I don't buy the argument "must cheat because other people will if I don't".
