| I think the point is that there are three different login server IPs, all of which are widely known of by the players. For some reason, they either forgot to take down all but the main login server, and left the servers up while they were finishing up the patching process. In addition, the servers remained up, not locked, not down, UP.
There was nothing preventing these people from logging in as they had no way of knowing that they shouldn't have been logging in yet. Suspensions no questions asked for an issue as in the grey area as this is a bit much, and frankly surprises me even for Sony.
Now, I could understand a verbal warning - ie the patch isn't complete now, we fucked up, could you please log out until things are good to go? |
