My major problem with this, economic dribble aside, is that permabans are not always permanent. There have been many occasions where someone has been permabanned and has pleaded and gotten unbanned. No one deserves to come back, even after a year or two, from a permaban to see their inventory emptied regardless of the crime(unless of course they weren't legit... and in that case they should be removed from circulation totally).

I was only arguing about the economic side because I still don't see the repercussion of these out-of-circulation items on the economy, regardless of your arrogant attitude and drawings. There are going to be rare items. Just because someone else has them and you don't, and is going to charge an insanely high price for them, doesn't mean the economy is broken. In that regard introducing a single unique item to a person who plays every day is going to have the very same effect. The world isn't fair, and neither is playing online. People are going to have better stuff and you're not always going to be able to get it. And if there is a problem with such a thing, staff needs to get out there and introduce the items in a legit way, much like how the person got it in the first place, rather than taking them from someone else.

If staff is abusing bans to make themselves richer, there is a much larger problem here that needs to be addressed.
