We've lost quite a few as well, relating to players who have been on the receiving-end of a permaban. I'm not talking about those who receive the ban, but the people they play with that lose interest and/or are infuriated after someone is banned. I've read more than once in chat from runners that it feels like the NST doesn't appreciate the fact that a single player means so much to such a small community, and that the act of permabanning over counselling makes players feel disposable and therefore ends in resentment towards those in the NST who are honestly trying to help.Originally Posted by jj dynomite
I know this isn't the right place to really dive into this, nor am I sitting here questioning the actions of the NST, but the effects of a permaban ripple through the community in ways that I imagine the NST doesn't really intend. They want to permaban players that are taking away from the experience for other players. It's a testament either to the community size or collective personality that individuals who were legitimately cheating are mourned as significant losses when they are perma'd.
Personally, I'd rather play against a cheater than no one at all.
