Two weeks ago there was a GM showing off in the adventure guild building in Ul'dah. Meanwhile, there was 3 bots spam shouting their gold selling companies. Here's the kicker...the 3 bots who were spam shouting was in the same damn building with the GM. Those bots did not disappear for another 4 days. The GM did not do a damn thing when he/she was there.

All in all I'd like some transparency about how the RMT situation is being dealt with.

What is this "special task force"? Where do they work and how do they roughly deal with RMT? Are certain servers favored over others? What is their aim and how do they try to attain it? Do they really need to be secretive? Why does it take so long to ban someone who's obviously doing something wrong? Is there a benefit to that?

They are probably quiet because they were waiting for the first round of subscriptions to end to see how things turned out. Funny enough I've been on for 3 hours today and haven't seen one /tell or shout from RMT which is a change from the previous 5 min of blacklisting every time I logged in.

Just like any other MMO, the best you can do is to report and move on. If the person(s) is a legit botter, they will eventually be removed from game.

That's a crock of shit. No offense intended but people would have to be really naive to believe this. My account was banned within an 8 hour period of time for RMT shouting after it was hacked. While I slept. Where was this proper investigation before I was locked out of my account? No where. I'm waiting for 12 days because they investigated NOTHING before suspending my account.

So while for us it sucks that these don't get banned I think SE does know and will react but need to look at the bigger picture.

If you talk about game money, they will go to normal player at end. If that is your thinking, then good player will be ban at end. The thing you can farm it easy without spend gil... now you have to spend gil with expensive price to get it...

as teleport cheat, it can easy to figure out and ban them. If it is not teleporting cheat, normal player still can farm the monsters. When they use teleporting cheat, what the chance to take monster?

reported tons and tons of people who i believe to be cheating using teleport hacks. there is this 1 dude on the serve i play on that teleports from mob to mob in drybone from what i assume havesting aldgoat skins hes been doing this for days and has been reported along with time stamp 5 days later he's still doing it whats the point of reporting when SE dont seam to do anything about it.

As far as I　know, this game is "pay to play" and I through it should be better "Game Environment" than other game. If that issue keep continues, then why we not just play other free to play game?
In other word, just feed SE money.

don't say I am mean but it is the fact of my thinking.

If their GMs are so terrible that they can't identify a very, very obvious bot through visual observation, they should be fired and replaced with someone who has two brain cells to rub together.
