What could be worse than having your account publicly banned on an MMO? When the developer films themself logging into your account and manually deleting your characters. Chris Cleary, game security lead over at Arenanet, did just this against a rather notable cheater, first committing suicide and then logging out and deleting his characters, all uploaded to Youtube.
Cleary posted later in the same thread that the cheater’s other accounts were banned as well. You can see the video at the link below.

On the one hand, I get why the devs might want to rub this guy’s nose in it, but this does seem to be making that same person seem a lot more important than he was in the scope of the game. I think it might be better to ban him without any comment that to go for a public tea-bagging.
