A few points:

1. The argument that "I'm doing this to help people screw Mobage" is disingenuous. It's the "Robin Hood" argument - steal from the Big guy to give the poor. But two evils do not a right make. If you dislike the game, quit. Do not pirate music - pay for it. Do not hack TFL - pay for it. If it's too expensive for your taste, that's unfortunate. Vote with your feet (walk away), and your wallet (don't spend). If this product is not to your satisfaction, demand the product be changed before you purchase it. Do not purchase the product until it is to your satisfaction. Don't be a "pushover" customer.

2. It appears some T1 players used this cheat, which may have caused me real damage in event(s) where I nearly was in T1 and just got edged out by a bit, wasting dozens of hours and about a thousand bcs. I think anyone who nearly T1ed the last several events has a real legal case for suing the cheaters under tort law, or at least demanding compensation.

3. Given another game account (itsme) was recently permabaned from the game (she had to start a new account from scratch - losing her entire existing collection), these cheating accounts should also be shut down, forcing the players to start anew. Unless mobage can explain why one crime is less severe than the other. To me it sounds both are equally severe crimes.
