I've always hated the way they handle rmts. They use broad strokes way too often when dealing punishment. If there is a legit way to make money in this game, and rmts are using it then who gives a crap. They should be banning for suspicious gil transactions not legal ways to make gil.

Their shoot the hostage to save them approach is the reason why I never took up gardening/fishing to npc to make money, nor did I spam chocobo blinkers before the nerf. I was always afraid I'd get autobanned for doing something that was never against the rules, but still risky just for the fact that rmts were doing it.

What's worse is that now RMT's will likely retreat to other activities. I expect to see them FC'ing themselves for Cruor, then selling brews to the highest bidder. Which will lead to mercenary work in general becoming suspect.

It wouldn't be so bad if there were a system in place to plead your case if you accidently get banhammered. From what I've heard even if you got hit by the automated ban for surplussing gil, there is no way to reverse it.

I heard that after the automated ban system bans your character, an automated delivery drone drops a flaming bag of poop on your doorstep. Doesn't make it true. Back in the day of Salvage duping, tons of people got banned, and there were stories of them appealing to SE regarding their ban. There is a system in place to reverse a ban, it's just standard customer support which is always a hellish experience for both parties involved.

And wait, since when is there automated banning? Yeah, they use methods to find certain behavior from players to isolate suspects, but it's a person, not a robot choosing who gets banned.

I'm damn sure they've added more to their arsenal since then but I really don't feel like sorting through old news to find more STF posts.
