No one will care that you can cheat because you're friends with a dev, right?

Massively has more on the story they broke the other day about how there was some alleged "cheating" (if you want to look at it that way) on the part of a certain EverQuest 2 guild which was transferred from Test to a live server with the help of a GM. Apparently, SOE admitted to the GM involvement and essentially dismissed it as "not a big deal."

Alan "Brenlo" Crosby, Director of Global Community Relations and Bruce "Froech" Ferguson, EQ2's new Senior Producer admitted to SOE's involvement. Well, rather that someone at SOE made the call to override the policy, but in a good natured manner to reward certain players for their hard work on the Test server. Not a smart choice of words or tone given EQ2 players warranted concerns. In any case, Ferguson claims the transferred characters will be removed. Since their initial statements and response there has been no further word from a SOE representative on this matter.

You can read the story at Massively. So was it a big deal, or was it just some harmless screwing around? Tell us what you think.
