Reopened: How can Empyrean be better than Relics?

[Alhanelem]

SE handled the Salvage bans poorly, period.

They handled it properly, period. People broke the rules, which was grounds for banning as stated in the rules, and they recieved the perscribed punishment. There is nothing more to it than that. All this what ifs about if "everybody" did it is pointless because not "everybody" did it.

I guarantee that many casuals and hardcores were killed off alike.

It wasn't "many" people. It was a very small percentage. SE had 100s of thousands of customers at the time and these bans were a drop in the bucket.

Anyone who knew they were cheating the system got what was coming to them and they deserved it. Some people who weren't a regular part of it or weren't orchestrating it got slapped on the wrist, and they should consider themselves fortunate.

What does all this have to do with relic and empyrean weapons, anyway?
