    Yeah this really is not okay. RMT means Real Money Trade. It doesn't refer to earning lots of gil. There are so many things wrong with the way SE bans people. For example:

    There really isn't a review process. If a player was just given a chance to write a paragraph explaining that they are a 9 year player with 3 relic weapons and 5 empyreans who charges people to kill Apademak because he happens to be able to do it as an ochain/aegis/almace paladin without using a brew, they should not be banned just because they made 300m in a week and played 16 hours a day while they were on summer vacation and having a bipolar episode where they experienced insomnia. This player is not doing "Real Money Trade" and they are likely going to buy alexandrites or relic currency with their gil, which is probably where their "clients" got their gil in the first place. There may be some farce of a review process, but I have 2 friends that have been banned for making too much gil in a short period of time by selling services like Empyrean farming and Epona's rings/Zelus Tiaras, and they were definitely not RMT, they were making mythics.

    Secondly, there is nothing worse than a manager at a workplace that punishes you before telling you what you that what you were doing was wrong. "You aren't getting your bonus because you didn't hit your sales goals, here are the goals for you that I made during the review process" RMT activity appears to be an instant ban process, with no temp ban unlike third party tools. It makes perfect sense that this would be the case for real RMT players, but the innocent casualties are similar to doling out the death penalty without a rigorous review and appeal process. You just wouldn't do it.

    In conclusion SE, just rescind your statement about joining Fell Cleave parties and go back to banning people for laundering large amounts of gil. It should be absolutely clear when you permanently ban these players. Go on a temp banning spree as much as you want, but perma ban should be treated like a really big deal. As a side suggestion, the tenure of the character should be a large consideration.
