What would you have suggested Mercier do when his friends asked him about the OP? Not tell them about all the suspicious, concrete things he has seen OP do?
It's Mercier's opinion that the OP is probably cheating. But the things he observed are facts. He could've given them the facts and let them decide whether to play OP, and it would've probably yielded the same outcome.
I have 20 years background in online gaming and I work at software industry, so I talk here more about semantics of accusing someone cheating in online game.
In general accusing someone cheating using some technical method in online game without having even slightest evidence or idea how this would have happened makes the accuser look stupid. In this particular case it would mean cheater has to have privileged access to game server or do somekind MITM attack which both seem very unlikely.
Of course when asked JM should voice his opinion stating that OP seems sketchy to him taking into account difference in his live and online play and the way he seeks action, but I personally would avoid saying OP is likely to somehow manipulate client-server -based game if I don't have any kind of idea, example or proof how this could even be possible.
