If this was directed to anyone else, I would be like "Dude, calm down!".. but it's directed at Lumi so I'm more like "You go girl!"

"the exploiters have logged into 106 different accounts in total. Of these accounts, 86 of them are guilded in The Mystical Order. "
" We brought up the possibility of completely disbanding The Mystical Order. Personally, I find it hard to believe that TMO leadership was not aware or suspicious of this happening"

Holy shit, the specific guys involved are kinda the last people I'd expect, too. This is going to shake the server up a fair bit.
It was Froovy and Internode. Froovy was extremely well-trusted and he played other people's accounts often. He had 10 or so high level characters himself that he frequently lent out as well. This is a huge shock, and a lot of us are in total disbelief at what he did. Of the 86 accounts banned, approximately 25 would be trackers, mules, and porters. None of the duping occurred on any accounts except Froovy and Internode's.
The only officer that has officially been implicated in any wrongdoing was Fazlazen who ninjalooted an item of Druushk that TMO pulled and killed, but FE got the Xp for which merited them the kill. As mad as it made everyone, the ninjalooting was a really poor move.
The punishment is pretty harsh, but I will stop far short of saying it was undeserved.

There also was obviously no time range on the bans, if Froov or node EVER logged on your account- its banned. Xad is banned lol and I havent had anyone ever log on my account in years.

He did do nothing, only two bans(from what I read) and a mild slap on the wrist. This is why p99 continues and always will be a shit show instead of cracking down on exploiting/cheating, they just go "Bad dog!" and walk away to go play Star Wars.
Remember the big MQ/SEQ de-level shit a couple years ago? It didn't matter cause it was a suspension I think and deleveled and it didn't matter one bit. I seriously don't see how someone can gain 86 accounts in one guild without the other parties being in on the cut at least somewhat. If this was PoP+ I could understand since there were flags/bullshit to deal with, but for kunark there is almost no reason to share account info unless you are double boxing which is also a ban worthy action. The server is still a complete joke.
Yep. Until they change the variance + first engaged rules that promote huge poopsocking and alts then they really won't fix the root cause of why P99 is crap for raiding.
That said, this was a very nice move, and I especially think trying to lay down the gauntlet for cockblocking is smart for their small EMU community.

the 86 accounts count for like 'can you log my alt on so I can rez them' type situations. Rogaine clearly states the accounts actually used for duping are toast...

The thing is, Xasten, there was always bullshit going on behind the scenes, and the officers knew about it. I'm talking about Faz's bad attitude. Fz's multi boxing. Various other things, like spying on other guilds' forums, even after crying about how horrible it was that IB was spying on TMO's forums. When I saw that TMO members/officers were logging in to some other guild's forums (VD I think it was), and that it was a big joke among the officers, I took it personally. I had put in a lot of hours trying to figure out who was abusing whose account(s) on the TMO forums, on behalf of the same people that were now doing the same shit to other guilds, so... yeah.
In short, there is no defending any of these people. They were morons, they got caught, and a lot of people paid the price. Hell, I can't remember if I ever gave Froovy or Internode my password (or if the wife ever did). Hope not!
