whats up with the rmt all the sudden?

You mean like this?

exactly.
i cannot see why it is so hard for SE to spot these guys.
Protip Devs.. do a player search.
search 50, BLM ONLY.
and look! its not difficult to spot them!
and thats only the ones that have gotten to 50 and use this BLM RMT thingy program.

if you see a bunch of BLMs in a party together, queuing up together over and over, normally with ridiculous names, all wearing the same equipment....
i have noticed them getting clever and getting up a rank in crafting to throw people off.

Because you can have a group of people do the same thing that aren't RMT or Bots. What then? Start banning people at random because they "look" like RMT/Bots? It's not that simple because you're thinking on the "this affects my game play" whereas SE has to think of "how will this look if we start banning people at random and it hits the media?"

im sorry but a group of characters, all with funky names, all the same class, all with the same sub classes, all with 1 rank in weaver or whatever, all with the same gear, all standing in the same area are BOTS.
yes it may be a real person on the other end but they are still using programs to run all of those characters. normally they are using them to SB gear, break down, and sell on the MB for huge amounts of gil.
so the next time you work on that relic quest.. just pay attention to some of those retainers names.

also your entire argument is based on the notion that SE will insta ban anyone. of course they wont. but these are simple observations that can flag certain characters and once spotted,
the appropriate actions can be taken to monitor and ban if needed.
