Firstly, that is not overpowering unless you learn to play all classes. Two, as an archer, aiming from a horse, even with my previous warband experience, is tough here (though it gives me mobility). While being able to pick up other classes' stuff is nifty, you still need to learn it. And it is not easy.

I made that post to emphasize on what a ban can entail on private servers. It was a bit out of context to be honest (since the bans were given for cheating and/or excessive/repeated trolling) and I was a bit out of the topic but then again I had no other example. The thing is, in my opinion, politics and games should not be in the same pot. Unfortunately, lately, they are.
That is why the anti-cheat update. We have it now and now we can see what actually happens.
Firstly, we moderators do not have any power on servers. We are players as you all are (I am a moderator on a subforum and I just state my opinion here). Secondly, all players can report a cheater or a troll and, if many reports come in, the team would take action. I do not blame the team, I do not blame the ones that reported, it is just how it works right now and TW is working on this system to be more effective, as per the posts of the admins.
Regarding this, it is very hard to check if a player was cheating(that is why the latest update with the anti-cheat system were released). But imagine yourself as a dev that just seen reports of a cheater. If you see one, you would ignore it, two, well, if they don't have proof, again, ignore. Three reports, this is where it gets tough. All in all, I would urge you all to please await for a response from the dev team and keep the discussion pertinent, not throw accusations from one side to another, and try to be constructive on this matter with valuable arguments.If you all keep insulting each other, this topic will be locked like the ones before it.
As it was stated before (and I will say it again), there are no people outside TaleWorlds dev team that can issue a ban. The bans offered right now regarding this matter are addressed at the moment, since they were reported as cheating (thus the ban time was reduced during the review). Please read the whole topic before posting (or at least the last postings).
