Does anyone else think it's really messed up that someone can invest real money into this game (as this guy did with his 12 rune pages) and then get banned permanently from playing it?

I'd understand if the game were free. Or if he was cheating (like being banned from WoW or other MMOs). But this seems a little slimy. Taking someone's money and then arbitrarily banning them for a bad attitude?

Maybe there's an aspect I'm not seeing here but I think at the very least people who are banned should receive a refund when their account is permanently destroyed. It's like a shopkeeper kicking you out of his store AND keeping your money despite the fact that you don't get to have any of the merchandise.

Does this rub anyone else the wrong way? Am I just overreacting?
