To be fair there are legitimate legal issues to "banning," folks using very newly created bugs. They are just playing the game that they bought.
Is it unfair, most definitely -- but it is not exactly nefarious server side packet manipulation.
I suppose these same people think those who used the previous steppe lancers as they pathed through walls or shredded units should be "banned," as well.
The fact people think they could get these people "banned," and channel their anger towards them rather than the people who developed and released an incomplete game (well, beta) that permitted this exploit to exist is laughable. One more example of a danger of a community who thinks it has any authority to police itself in any unofficial capacity.
I expect robo to permenantly ban this individual from all Microsoft tournaments post-haste, since this is the only one on aoezone there is a thread about and indeed seems unpopular. I would also call on robo to also ban any pro player who uses Burgundian Coustilier, since they currently deal double charge damage to all archer armor class units. After all, this isn't just about banning the little guy, right? We ban everyone equitably.
