There are people who got multiple past lives using the saga exploit, which means that getting a 7 day ban is potentially still worth it for them since (depending on how quickly they'd have gained those lives without the exploit) they saved a decent amount of time.

If you got several TRs or even just one, it's worth it. Not only can you skip all those repeats, you get a break from DDO.
Haven't played in years, because I cannot stand to do one more TR and that's all the game is about, but stopped by and just love this thread. I wish I'd known about the exploit, I'd have fixed a character and enjoyed the ban.
I have pretty low expectations of people in general, but damn, this sort of stupid still surprises me.
Do people really expect that SSG will actually not roll the toons back to pre-exploit status with extreme prejudice or even roll them back and delete half their shit just to teach them a lesson? This stuff was widespread. It was a big enough deal that they actually violated their own "we do not discuss exploits and disciplinary measures" policy on the mobos and posted an explanation of what they were doing about it. If they're serious about not allowing exploits, they pretty much have to make an example out of this.
If SSG chose not to do major rollbacks on the exploiters, it would set a really bad precedent that exploiting early and often does indeed pay and pay well. They caught a good bit of shit from the general population on the mobos when they didn't come down hard enough on the AS exploiters a while back. I doubt they'll repeat that mistake.
