So, there's a thread on the offical eq2 forums right now. 

Basically, someone caught a guild member using a power leveling service and wanted advice on how to handle it.

There have been a lot of responses already ranging from boot him, to report him and boot him, to you people are heartless he made a mistake get over it.

The responses are certainly telling.  The vast majority are outraged because this person is putting their guild at risk after the recent widespread account stripping that's been going on.

The question is, what do you do about it?

Does it matter if the person is a friend?  A good friend?  Online vs RL?

My opinion has pretty much always been that anyone who will cheat at a game that you can't win deserves whatever they get.  This includes having your account information stolen, your credit card number jacked, your debt run up out of control, your credit ruined, and your lazy stupid ass kicked out of your guild.

It isn't like the game is hard.  There's no prize for getting to the end first.  Hell, there's no prize for getting to the end.  It's continuous, on-going entertainment.  It's like going to see a movie but watching the end on YouTube first or reading the last chapter of a book before you start it.

Grow up.  There are other people who play and the actions of one individual can negatively affect the gaming experiences of all of those others.  So, why?
