Actions Taken Against RMT & Other Illicit Activities 2/12/2015

A temporary ban is a very limited punishment since once the ban is lifted they get back in with everything..

I highly doubt this, do you know someone firsthand that had this experience? It would make no sense at all to ban someone (albeit temporarily) to allow them to come back and prosper with the very thing they were banned for doing.

In 2.0 some people (some wrongly, some rightly) were accused of buying RMT and had Gil directly removed from their accounts. I'm sure all of the people who got the temporary ban will have most, if not all, of their gil removed from their account when they are able to return.

all im going to say is i have received an rmt advertising tell in weeks here on phoenix so gj se

Must be nice... I can play for about 4hrs a day and 3hrs of that is normally spent in coil. I get about 40-50 tells on Goblin for the last week. ;-;

I can't say either way, all I can do is go by the wording of the notice that indicates the action taken was a temp ban. I remember players having gil confiscated, right or wrong, but I don't remember seeing a complaint about that recently, so I presumed that the number of false positives convinced SE that it was not a viable tactic.
