[Discussion] Two week suspensions before perma-bans

To preface, this is not a whining thread, I have not been banned. This is just an idea I had that would hopefully make everyone happy.

With all the bans flying around, many are claiming innocents. While many are replying that they lie. With the staggering numbers claiming such, it is likely some innocents are in the pile. I know a few people I believe as such. Regardless, this idea should handle that, maybe not to everyone's satisfaction but a majority. There should be two stages of bans. Instead of the one strike equals perma-ban, it should be a two strike system.

So strike one earns you a two week and a day ban. This duration will make sure any lands held are lost. Giving a nice punch in the face to land hackers. It would also stop bots (on that account) for they would unlikely return to it as it is inefficient for them to wait so long. It tells hackers to stop their shit, and it gives innocent players a chance to return to the game. Also, after the player returns, they are on a gm watch list and will get the perma-ban if found to still be hacking. "But what about all that gold those hackers got by hacking?" Two weeks is a long time in game. Most normal players should be able to earn the same amount of gold the hacker got in that time. So when they come back, they are just on equal footing. If they were a gold farmer or in league with them, they receive the same gold wipe Trion has done already. "What stops the hacker from hacking again when they return?" Being on the gm watch list would hopefully result in enough scrutiny that if they hacked again... Banhammer. "But I am innocent, and I don't want to lose my land!" I am sorry, but I told not everyone would be happy with this, but look at the bright side. You still have your account. That is something you wouldn't have as it stands now.

Bonus, this should help customer service queue. Currently it takes 2-3 weeks to get a reply from an appeal. If you knew you were going to get your account back in 2 weeks, would you get in a 3 week queue to appeal?

Then obviously, second offense, perma-ban. If you were falsely suspended, hopefully you figure out why you possibly did and avoid it in the future.

Please leave your thoughts comments and concerns below. I was to refine this idea and make sure it is a solid idea that we can make Trion seriously consider.
