By the time the devs realize there's an issue and halt the penalties hundreds of people across all 60+ servers will be unfairly affected, not to mention network issues aren't always related to DDoS or even related to SE at all.

These forums never cease to amaze me with the endless obsession with seeing other people being punished for every small thing, it's like the enjoyment of some people depends on other people being punished.

It's a matter of time before someone asks for perma bans if you don't say hi in a dungeon.
