You deleted Debauchery's ww's a few ages back because that was obviously their aim so you've proven that you're willing to tailor the response to thwart the cheaters, I just don't see why you didn't do so in this case.
But then I don't have to worry about player retention which I'd guess is a pretty significant concern these days. And it's unlikely that not taking serious action against pewpew would make AMA players leave the game while deleting or suspending pewpew until eoa is far more likely to cause several of their people to leave the game.
All AMA needed to do was to stay out, PewPew would have warred SWEA, and it would all be fine.
Mods should never have interfered.
The second AMA hit PewPew the situation outcome was easy to predict. You don't fight war on two fronts.
