In the end, the law prevails

When we last left the bot debate, it was clear they were doing it to discredit all anti-botting initiatives and to dissuade Level-Up from ever acting against it.

Whatever they were trying certainly was doomed to fail.

For one, Waukeen, like me, is hellbent on destroying this pest that has infected Ragnarok for over four years. That's despite him being a botter once.

Another, I was merely playing along in their play of debate at why botters hold pRO together and that their removal would spell doom for RO. Almost all their points were refuted, yet they still insist on things. It didn't save them from being banned for botting advocacy.

As a result, Legato and his puppet account yoh_asakura, and Pax Lucis have been permanently banned (and will eventually become Persona non Grata) from the ragnaboards for their incurable and foolish advocacy of botting. Sure, they deny advocating bots, but with their rabid criticism (of which many are negative, dumbfounded and baseless, like their adherence to Shiela Paul's admission-- which BTW is now nullified due to recent events Level-Up has made) and their general put-down attitudes towards any sign of enforcement... like with the Midgard Police, makes them obvious they weren't just looking for a friendly (which I highly doubt) debate... they were ensuring the future of the botters.

I'm sure there are more posters worthy of permanent banning due to advocacy of bots. But one would wonder... Why? Why defend these lawless elements? Despite the debate nature, the policy about botting is one of the rules considered dogma; unquestionable and absolute. Despite LU's lack of enforcement regarding that rule, it didn't mean they were consenting usage of bots. They should've removed that from the rules if it were so, but they never did. Which is good, considering lots of MMO companies will take advantage of that, and will hasten their demise.

Pax may now argue it was a debate and no advocacy was in it. But I've seen his advocacy OUTSIDE his posts. Same with Legato. That debate was made for me to gague how honest they were in regards that they were merely debating. You'ld be surprised to know how much it revealed about them.

You are with the future or you are against it. The future of order, a future without bots, and with happy and law-abiding players is being made. I, and many other people who still believe in the future of Ragnarok, will not let these scum survive.
