Change to the ban system.

[HyoMinPark]

After reading Dragorath's post, I think I've lost a bit of respect for Square Enix if they truly run things the way they do. And to everyone looking down on the OP with your condescending, holier-than-thou attitudes, you are some awful people and should be ashamed of yourselves. You even see a huge, meaningful post, and label it as fake and/or didn't even bother to read it. You really think a post that was put a lot of effort and emotion into such as Dragorath's is fake?

The person you’re agreeing with was condescending and very much holier-than-thou. Funny how you choose to defend the very behavior you are condemning others for. I’m not obligated to take something at face value that sounds far-fetched; all we have is that person’s word, which, this is the Internet. You can’t believe everything you read here.
Plus, there are other reasons why I am not inclined to agree with him. I’m not going to bring them up here, though, because that will just further derail the thread.

I made a forum account to present some ideas I had for this game, but after everything I've seen and read in this thread, I don't think I wanna be a part this environment. Dragorath, thank you for sharing your experiences with us and shedding some light on their BS moderation practices. Hope_For_Change, I'm truly sorry for what you're going through. I myself am on a 216 hour ban, my first ban, the very severe one, and am dreading the permaban hammer. But after reading Dragorath's post, I'm suddenly not all to worried about it anymore. And even if I don't get banned, I'll have to permanently hide the chat window. People say some provoking stuff, and some people find even breathing to be offensive.

To get a 216-hour ban on your first offense, you have to have done something fairly serious. There are known botters and RMT middle-men on my server that haven’t received any such action, despite blatantly breaking the ToS and getting reported by a myriad of people, including myself.

You’re free to no longer post here, but people on here generally don’t respond well to players that ask for special exclusions/exemptions/exceptions “because Reasons”. Especially when they respond with “woe is me” replies.

Take responsibility for your actions.
If you want a change so bad, start with yourself.
Chances are, if you’re getting repeated warnings and bans, the problem doesn’t lie with the disciplinary system.
