Rules are the same for all of us, is he special at any point? Other people has died to abusers and has lost all and their chars hasnt been restored. That would be another big mistake
and the worst show of arbitrarity and bad praxis.
I like Bob and his posts, but the law must be the same for all of us.
I'm not saying rules should be different for anyone ...

... I'd say the same if it were you or I or anyone else, I'm also saying it because in my eyes paying for a product makes a difference. I also agree with Leksar that each situation must be considered individually to establish what exactly has transpired.
The closest example I can think of atm ..... we have a chain of shops over here that sell seconds in clothing, seconds mean that the item has a minor defect that prevents it being sold in the store it was intended for, like a wrong size label, a slightly shorter or longer hem, anything that doesn't prevent the item being wearable. When you buy from there you know what you are getting, you can't return the item because you are a size 8 and the label says size 10, if however you get it home and it has a gaping rip in it somewhere, then ofc you are within your rights to return it and get a full refund, the item is unwearable.
We play this game and pay for it fully accepting that there may be the odd glitch or bug but if devs introduce mechanics that then result in the loss of your char and your base then that is the same kind of fault as the item above being unwearable and if it happened to me I would be demanding some form of compensation. I'm not saying I'd get it, and I am fully aware of the devs stance on this, I'm just simply giving my own opinion on how these types of situations should be handled now that we are paying customers. I don't expect everyone to agree with me and I certainly don't think rules should be different for different ppl. I just don't see the Hogwarts thing as clearly cut and dried as you do.
This new abuse may also turn out to be a muddled affair, we don't know yet.
