It used to break my heart to watch guilds exploit in EQ2 and get away with it. I know SOE got a lot of flack for banning in Everquest but honestly I'd rather have a "ban first and apologize later" policy. If something is obviously abuse I'd prefer that those players not stay in the game and on the same server I'm on. I can’t say I disagree.

No matter what you do, someone will come up with something you didn't think of, so be ready for it, and don't nerf/restrict impulsively. (If it is game breaking, stop it, but don't consider the stop to be the final answer, you can come up with a better solution most likely if you try.)
