A ban is, essentially, muting an individual player. The programming effort necessary to mute an individual, while allowing them to play the game, might possibly be a bit more of a challenge than the poster thinks.

Harassment is harassment, whether in the heat of the moment or otherwise. Just because someone gets away with it in other games does not mean the devs of this one need to allow such behavior.

A player can always go play a First Person Shooter or other PVP-oriented game where the behavior is tolerated in order to get their daily 'fix' for that sort of thing.
