The account suspensions and gil reset leave a black mark on this game.

Twice now, Yoshida has told the community that the inherent lag in-game is a monitoring algorithm recording your actions/gil/movements etc - Thus the packet load delay. There have been MANY posts about that buffer system and requesting it be moved to the client.

Then there's this quip: In addition, the recent maintenance operations have implemented countermeasures to nullify the effects of the aforementioned cheats.

Let me break that down in computer speak: We're modifying our algorithm to catch more people.

How do you think the gil was tracked? Space gerbils on a running wheel?

I'm wondering about the source of information you're using because I haven't seen it and want to read it. If you didn't see the information/translation first hand, then forget about it.
