    And yet there have been several instances in this MMO and others; Where a GM will say something is okay and then a Game Developer will say it is not.

    The GM team are enforcers; they are not judges. There is a separate team that hands out verdicts(Bans) based on GM reports; that separate team is the task force for this game. Every game has GM's and a separate set of representatives that hand out the bans based on information from GM's.

    It's the same thing with RL; Police enforce the law and can arrest someone for something if they deem the individual is breaking a law, but they cannot issue jail time or other sentencing as it is not their jurisdiction.

    Um, GMs have the power to ban players in every MMO and carry out said bans. If they didn't have that power, how could they "enforce" anything? Or do you have some knowledge of SE's GM power structure?
