Unfortunately, after over five years of dealing with Sony's CS I am not surprised at all.

As long as they didn't ban people who had merely recieved duped credits, I see no problem with this.

I just logged out of Intrepid and SOE is spamming some message about shutting down the server unless the protests are stopped. I guess there are tons of people on there protesting banned guild members who got duped credits. I don't know the situation of who is innocent and who is guilty. I did talk to some players that said their guild merchants and entertainers were banned for accepting duped credits

it's just their word though, we may not be getting the whole story.

It's messed up mainly because real money is involved (paying sony monthly for the accounts).

From what I read, a player can give another one credits withought letting them know. Its called tipping. Apparently one of the dudes who was doing the dupeing did this to quite a few people, many of which were banned for having said credits.

They did. Hell, they even banned those who were tipped with duped money. You kinda can't turn down those tips.

The protest and the server going down fit so well into the Star Wars theme, I'd almost label it a GM event.

I got my 50 Mage banned right after Kunark for a guild memeber GIVING me items he had stolen. They never did unban that account, they said it was for 'being in association with someone that stole multiple items.'

Such bs, I put hard time into that character and got banned for some crap items some guy gave me.

Except you clicked "Trade", whereas the afformentioned SWG players were tipped credits, and could do nothing about it.

No, there was something you can do about it, after every time you get tipped, give all your money away!

You are still flagged getting the credits. You are still banned. You still have to prove you are not part of the problem.

SOE does not care and the CSR/CSM are just following policy.
