I would tend to agree normally, but this isn't something where the person can reasonably say "Oh, sorry. I didn't know."
  1. There's a big announcement that says "Forum Rules" at the very top of every single page in the forum.
  2. The very first rule is:
    Warez Is NOT Allowed
    -This includes the transfer of any copyrighted material, including EQ Files and backpatches. Requesting files, even in a PM, will result in a ban.
  3. And then you have the fact that Warez is completely and totally illegal in the first place.

Even assuming that people fail to read the forum rules, they should have enough common sense not to post an illegal request on a public forum.

I say they get what they deserve.

READ THE RULES PEOPLE!
