Basically that incentivizes people to cheat because the worst that would happen is they lose their cheated gain, we need a bigger deterrent than that. Stealing would be much more widespread if the only punishment were to take back what you stole and let you go about your business, you can just go steal again. I'm in the same boat as Ranoake... free player so I can't participate in "no spend"... but I also agree with him that just taking away ill-gotten cards is like saying "it's ok to cheat, but if we catch you, we're going to take your cards". if you steal in real life, do the cops just take back what you've stolen? no...
