That's the problem though. They may have done nothing wrong as far as "Game Coding" is concerned. However, GM's in past MMO's (including FFXI) had the authority to protect players from Immoral Behavior as well. They may not have broken an in-game "robot rule" but if someone did something for the sole purpose of causing grief (re: stealing, cheating, scamming) than a GM had permission to assist you. It didn't mean you would always get the result you expected but at the very least they would perform an investigation for you.
