Devs
Please take a stand on all of the illegal clients and scripts being used in the game. You're losing players left and right and have yet to, that I have seen, openly take a stand on it. All you need to do is look at the many videos being uploaded to YouTube and you can see what's being done to the game. I dunno, maybe take action and make an example out of some of these people, and then implement a system to deal with the rest...
Please at least acknowledge this issue and assure us that you are planning to deal with it.
Thank you.

ESRB warning: Some Blood. LOTS of Alcohol. Some Violence. LOTS of Bugs
Just as 1 example possible among the many possible, when 1 single player can multi-boxing the Roof, for example, and get lots and lots of drops easy, when they go sell these drops on Vendor Search, since they got them easy, they can undercut other players' prices, other players who, instead, played the game fair and square and,therefore, often took forever to get that 1 rarer item drop....
Basically, as I see it, Scripters and Multi-Boxers make the time in the game for all other players who don't cheat, NOT WORTH IT.
Not to mention, that then, it can also be that the Developers, to try counter these players getting these items easily, because of their cheating, make it MUCH TOUGHER for all players to get them...
An example of this, is the Randomization of Resources to try address scripters..... the end result of that change, though, at least to my opinion, was not to even scratch scripters a tiny bit, but enormously affect "fair & square" legit players who, now had to spend a whole lot more of their in game time to get certain resources.... scripters, instead, just let their scripts run 24/7 and gathered all Resources they wanted, with very little involvement of their time in the game....
My argument being, that, at least to my opinion, not only it is pointless to implement mere "patched-up" solutions to scripting and multi-boxers, but they hurt way more the legittimate players as compared to scripters and multi-boxers....
The solutions should be more focused, as I see it, to "find" who script and multi-box and ban them, and that means not only the accounts that are used to script and multi-box, but also all of the other accounts which might be associated to that "disposable" account used for scripting and multi-boxing.... that it, their "Main" accounts....
Would it loose players' subscriptions ?
It may well but, who's to say that not going with the ban hammer hard on this issue does not cause, in the long run, a higher hemorrage of players' accounts because, at some point, "fair & square" players might decide they had enough of seeing that cheating going on and leave UO ?
What I am trying to say is, that, to my opinion, scripting and multi-boxing, in one way or the other, DOES affect all players of UO and, most importantly, especially those players who play "fair & square".... it devaluates their time spent in the game....
That is at least how I see it.
