What Do you Do When A Guild Mate is Caught Cheating?

Last night I received word that a guild mates account had been hacked – only some coin was taken, guild bank and regular bank not touched, nor was gear touched. It seemed a little odd to me, but I spread the word around to all my guild mates to be aware, and that was that.

Or so I thought. This morning I received an IM from Belghast  saying that they had actually purchased plat from a 3rd party and that their missing money was SOE taking it as compensation. But don’t worry, he confirmed for me, they didn’t touch any of his broker items and his masters were still for sale and he had 20p to his name so he’d be ok.

What was I supposed to do? What would you do in this situation?

I told him I was really upset, had lost all respect, but that I wouldn’t remove from guild. I technically don’t care what people do with their real life money – but – because it involved my guild, I did care. I care about my guild a great deal.

So, how would you have handled the situation? Do you care if your guild mates buy plat? Let me know in comments!
