When is the next good game coming out?
I take it you do not understand how SE works about bots.

First : http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...1f3ac36f2a9bb4
SE isn't staying idle.

That said, how do they work ?

They analyze the bots, go to the root, and see what to do. If it's a player bot, it will be banned along with the main account. Those that you see staying in place for months are RMT bots. For these, SE tries to go down to the main accounts of the RMT to ban them all at once, leaving the RMTs with nothing at all.

If they were banning the farm bots, it would be useless. the RMTs would just create more with their profits. If you ban the sellers' accounts, they can't make profits anymore.
