Punishing cheats seems to have a decent effect in other games.
I guess a lot of popular games have insane management because they don't mind punishing cheaters, even rage quitters.

Im not sure what the embedded video proves? But I could not read the fast scrolling chat.
A Business will most certainly punish a customer in some circumstances.
The most likely being that a group of customers is causing them to lose a larger group of customers.
Nothing saltier than the salty tears of pvp'ers.
As it seems many of these complainants sole purpose in this game to frustrate 'forum dads' and 'carebears', constantly mock forumgoers on reddit and goad FD - I am finding this whole escapade a well needed injection of light relief!

That is NCSoft banning and removing an account from an in game cheater.
"larger group" ?
Anybody that needs to point out that they belong to a majority usually belongs to a minority.
There will always be another murderer.. better stop arresting criminals guys.
It is entertaining! Just wonder when the PVP people will get the message that PVP pew pew sucks in this game...and won't be changing.
Rubbish. The only thing that acts as a deterent to cheating and exploiting is action, if Frontier aren't tackling cheating then it will become rife, as it appears it has.
Whats going to happen if this isn't addressed is players who play faily and don't cheat will leave. Which type of players do you want to populate the game? A bunch of cheats? The game will get a reputation and when it does they can kiss goodbye to its success.
Every gaming company bar Frontier takes these matters seriously and for good reason. An example of something they should aspire to is as follows, it would send a message and make folks think twice about cheating:

Its time to drain the swamp
Once a cheater, always a cheater.

Ok, what ever you say. Its not clear to me what that video is about even when applying your comment.
Personally I wanted a:
Hi Guys!
Thanks for all the kind words on the forum, as developers I can assure you the feeling is mutual. As compensation we introduced a mission especially for you, it's an exploration mission and it's called: The long walk of a short pier.
All the best!
Frontier Development.
But instead I got a placating "thank you so much for calling us liars" post.
Sucks to be us I guess
I play alone (in open) and even if players are cheating left right and center to me, I fail to see how it affects my game.
Your argument is a slippery slope fallacy.

But nobody did poo on anything. They just logged off.

I guess so.
Real life analogy incoming - fail detected.
We are talking about people logging off at morally questionable times - not murder. Dont get ahead of your self.
The problem with this whole discussion is that apparently there's talk in another place about how to keep their cheats afloat. And spreading misinformation and dissent is on their todo list. The fact is that combat logging happens. It's also a fact that this is difficult to fight - and that the support resources of FD are limited.
It's also a fact that a hack tool that kicks in exactly as the game tries to contact frontier servers has been rendered moot by Frontier, so they do work on fighting combat logging. It's just that going on video evidence is problematic since the authenticity is hard to establish, and a complete technical solution is probably not possible.

You heard it guys. Get your one shot one kill weapons out (I mean the hacked ones not the engineered ones) and kill him over and over again. He's fine with it.
Blizzard punishes it's customers quite harshly when caught exploiting or cheating in any way. Usually with a no questions asked loss of online privilege. Come to think of it Fdev is the only game company I have ever seen that completely ignores it's own rules and allows players to do whatever they please.
If Frontier took a hard stance on combat logging by banishing repeat offenders to a shadow server or solo play that would act as a deterrent. They don't do that so we get what we have now, a wild west.
Hacking is different than logging off at morally questionable times.
