Every PvP game I've ever played people had them, even the major ones like DAoC, Lineage, Tera, Wow. The difference is though, in those games it was a very small % of people who had them and the game companies actively banned the people over time. In any of those games, I've never seen someone who obviously used them not get banned eventually. SEQ is so widespread in EQ, and DBG does nothing about it. The majority of people in EQ either use SEQ or someone in their group is using it. The pvp in any of those games would have never survived if the companies didn't actively ban and go after map hackers and exploiters. That's the difference, DBG doesn't go after anyone who uses SEQ.
