How can we be sure SE bans the right person for exploits if there's no transparency?

I'm not very tech savvy, but there are people out there that goes out of their ways to track someone.. So I dunno about any hall of shames, should be why witch hunting is banned from every other communities. But I'm just saying SE's way of saying "We banned XXX amounts because of a [blanket statement]" when there are clearly other issues going on that they're not being very honest about irritates me. Think about the guy with 1 billion gil (exaggeration), I think if I dedicated my whole life to playing ff14 I wouldn't have that much gil. While he buys all the things in the market and then gets banned along with it, and then the people who he bought from gets banned and gets the finger for getting "fake bills". Yeah.. isn't that fun.

Look there is no perfect way to do this because there will always be people like yourself picking apart what is done .

As for Personal Information , you would have to be a Hacker to get that and that's illegal by Law in almost every Country .

A Hall of Shame would have no Personal Information and it would be the ultimate punishment .

The bugs are usually reported in the patch notes that comes after they have fixed it.

To release information about a bug that has not been fixed will instantly kill the game. People will keep using the exploit until it is fixed. Once these people are punished, they blame SE because they still used the exploit knowing that it was against the rules.

Like the bug people found to defeat turn 5. Instead of leaving the instance, these players continue to play out the encounter until they defeat the boss. They get the loot then say it's okay because they reported it.
