Salvage Server Exploit needs addressing ASAP

And NGL, I could probably do the exact same thing as you, as quite frankly I might argue that one or two semi-possibly-innocent people is a small price to pay to smack down a bunch of bots in one swoop.

Acceptable losses vs one innocent wrongly convicted makes you guilty as well.
My view tends to be toward the latter, but when emotion kicks in, the former looks so terribly appealing.

I agree. Plus if the salvage bans of the olden days are any indication, one innocent ban would spark massive outrage.

I mean, that process may be unnecssary to you, but clearly it isn't to them.
your steamroller method is likely to pick up non RMT in the crossfire, and SE clearly isn't willing to take t hat risk. They have their process because they don't want anyone to be banned without 100% confirmation of a violation. And unfortunately, they decide that on an individual basis.

The problem is, those bots will come back, the real players probably won't. It's a game of whack-a-mole you can't win, even with a considerably more efficient process.

I'm not defending SE, I'm merely accepting reality. And the reality is, they don't do things the way you would want to and I don't see that as likely to change. Certainly not by spamming the boards with screencaps of STF reports.

I want it to change as much as you do, but your method to promote change is guaranteed less effective than simply complaining about it.

Square Enix has created this forum for us the players/community to improve the game's experience. Accepting reality is merely not appropriate when it comes to Bots and RMTs. We as a community should assist Square Enix in its good effort to fight bots and RMTs. If you have a better and effective way of fixing the bot and RMTs issue, then we shall hear it. However, for the time being, we should assist Square Enix and the Final Fantasy XI team in their fight against Bots and RMTs. Every action against those violating the game's rules and regulations is counted. We are counting on you Galka.

They didn't create these forums to have you spam them with useless images that serve no purpose and won't convince anyone of anything

Oh, people love posting images on the official XIV forums. Just because images might get your eyes burned do not mean they are useless.

You're right! However, it doesn't mean they aren't useless either. And in this particular case, they are. The user has already recieved an official response from SE on the matter and was requested to discontinue the practice.
