Hah. Hilarious. For those that are too lazy to click the link, here's a rundown:
Some Chinese exchange student was arrested in Japan for using a bot to kill and rob other players in Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle so he could sell whatever was dropped on eBay. There were no hacks involved or anything. It was just a simple matter of Player Killing and selling crap he got on eBay.(Which goes against NCSoft policy, but oh well.)
I wonder if this is going too far. Then again, if I'd worked for months to get something like the "Helmet of Superior and God-Like Hastening" only to have it swiped from be by some asshole botter, then found it not five minutes later on eBay I'd be a little on the pissed side, too.
