If you shoplift and get caught the owner won't say it's fine to leave because you just took something of low value. He'll call the cops and they will deal with you.
But really, give us one good reason to not go after people that stole stuff. If something gets stolen it's a nice change from daily routine to search and destroy.
That's not what he said- he didn't say anything about getting killed, which it IS fair to be pissed over because its a broken mechanic (dont give me the stupid alpha thing, we are all well aware this is an alpha and already done the motions.) He just said because they use an in game mechanic that allows you to do something, you will get shunned and neglected by everyone else. And not just in-character, and that's stupid: people act like you're a griefer or cheater for using what the game allows you to do. Now granted, they do abuse alts but what else are they supposed to do when ranging is hideously overpowered?
So that's the current defense - there's a mechanic for it, so you shouldn't judge my behaviour by its effect on others, you should consider anything that's possible to be of equal moral value.
Bzzz! Thanks for playing, but wrong answer.
The devs don't judge you for it - so you don't get banned. That's about all the non-judgmentalism you can glean from it being a game mechanic.
