But give out a stern warning (also in the event thread) combined with serious punishment to offenders.
I also believe in the responsibility of official factions to show presence and to lead by example, especially when it comes to playing inside the rules.
We cannot allow events to be ruined by the bad behaviour of a few. Because: Most players play nicely and in accordance with the rules and want to enjoy events.
Such events created amazing cooperation yesterday night, united players who normally never play together to organise, connected dedicated indies with organised factions and in general produce a lot of good.
Couldn't have said it better myself. The ones that betray the rules must obviously not be allowed to ruin it for all. The event should go on, whilst rebuking those who know the rules yet still break them.
