    ...Please go and actually read the thread once and for all.

    The thread was about the manipulation of the rankings that happened during the season, with things like teams waiting until low activity hours to get matched together and wintrade. There's also the case of a known cheater (not gonna say names) that has been... let's say "speeding" his way to the top and guess what, he got the mount too. The thread didn't mean to say that hardcore players who put effort shouldn't get exclussive rewards. The premise was that there was so much cheating through the season that these rankings mean nothing and shouldn't be honored. Of course not everybody on the top must be a cheater, but it seems there was so much of it that the season rankings are a joke.

    ...Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    Then the only logical conclusion to CHEATERS is to remove them. The illogical reason being used as a launchpad to remove exclusivity is that because there were cheaters, nobody should have exclusive rewards as they are rendered meaningless. That doesn't fix the problem of cheaters, nor does it promote activity within the content. The only logical answer is to crack down on cheaters and establish harsh punishments.
