You can't blame any of us for taking advantage of a "bug" because you left the quest enabled, yet didn't want people to do it. If you didn't want people doing the quest, why not just disable it until you are ready to test it. How is anyone other than the developers supposed to know that they arent allowed to do certain quests if there is no warning from anyone?
I understand why you want to limit the number of ice picks in the server, but do you understand how stupid your position is? WE are at fault for doing a quest that is normally part of the game, that YOU left enabled, and did not disclose to anyone other than possibly the GMs that you did not want done. 2 of the seals were done WHEN GMs were online, and they still did not say anything, yet we are lucky not to be banned?
You can question our intelligence all you want Zeit, but leaving the ice pick quest implemented, and not expecting anyone to do it doesn't say much for how smart you are (especially considering that it's not exactly a quest that is done in secret). Players caught on to it, yet no GMs did and they were online when seals were broken - that's not our fault, thats yours and your GMs. Pretending that you are doing us a favor for not banning us or deleting our items in this ridiculous situation has got to be the most laughable thing I've seen in a while.
