Hence the problem with the post: people unironically believe that nonsense.
But you managed to discuss the reasons with this player after the fact, whilst still having no affiliation?
That’s not safespotting. There’s no guards being avoided here.
Doesn’t mean you should follow suit.
No reasonable person is going to believe you were just hanging out in an area that has no purpose other than griefing, and others wanted to be there to do nothing at all as well.
That wasn’t magic that was a GM using his powers to warn you to stay out of that place. Take the hint next time.
If you have been reported for other things recently, like innapropriate character names etc, you can be insta banned the second a report hits you regardless of its validity. It’s happened to me.
You don’t know whether others get suspended/banned for it. You’re just assuming they don’t.
I mean you explained that the spot is intact an exploit and that it took a lot of effort to get to outside of just your own game mechanics. If people think it’s ok because you’re not doing anything to be places not meant to be then you’re probably naive. At least op does admit they knowingly did something wrong and others that do this too should be banned.
