Its alway the consequences that the cheater doesnt see, A glitch, hack or mistake that causes any developer to go back in and change something in an emergency, costs real developement money which is
taken from the profit margin of that product and could make future developments unviable. Even the cost of hunting the offenders down is more unseen profit loss. As most of the spaces on home seem to be border line whether it makes a profit or not, the spaces that do make money dont get neglected and theres far more neglected spaces personal and public than ones that get updated. Because of that I dont expect to see home starting perma bans.

:^/ Cheaters should never prosper. It is refreshing when they get caught. It’d be a welcome thing for this to happen to PSHome, as well.

There is a lot of cheating going on in Final Fantasy 14 as well. There are people selling levels and gil, the currency of the game, everyday for real life money on the internet. They have been getting permanently banned at a huge rate for many weeks now, as have those who choose to exploit it and buy these things.
I choose to report them and blacklist those who somehow send private messages through the system everyday to everyone in the vicinity. I agree with you, cheating is cheating and if it upsets the game balance and you have been told not to do it on pain of ban and still do, you deserve what you get.

I don’t advocate cheating by any means, however, I would like to note that the GM’s for this game do little to get after the scammers who steal materials promising mods, as well as the rediculous broker prices. And, they expect you to spend replay badges trying to get a style drop, only to give you the piece for the opposite role. What can a healer do with tank pants? Only to salvage them and get residue when you need complex? For 15 bucks a month, why do I loose an entire day of play because the update is glitched? Or why do I always dc trying to do the oolong speed feat? While people are being banned, where are the consequences for the game constantly messing up on the players who do play fair?
