Secondly, SE are known for being slow to ban bots/RMT. In FFXI you had RMT botting 24/7 in sky for a year before they got banned. It's like they don't care that much on the current effect on players, only making big ban waves that they then can post news about.
SE is also known for laying the smackdown when it's needed, read: http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/68831-LM-17

Yoshida is taking a more forgiving stance when it comes to XIV though, obvious RMT (those who spam you) will get chars and whatnot deleted but people who are planning and accused of botting, even when obvious (and it IS obvious) won't as they likely cycle when the bot is used.
