If SE's banning dataminers, can they finally go after RMT in PF?

Why would they go out of business?

Players who follow the rules have nothing to fear.

If they're willing to skirt around their own rules and policies for questionable things whats stopping them from finding arbitrary reasons to doll out the ban hammer?

Why would they arbitrarily ban paying customers?

Hint: they don't. No online game company does. There is always a reason, with that reason usually coming down to the player has been doing something the business finds harmful to the game. Those harmful things are generally spelled out in the ToS. Even if the player has violated the ToS, they generally are getting warned or a very brief ban at most unless a repeat offender. You really have to push the limit to earn yourself a permanent ban.

Those who aren't violating the ToS or the spirit of it have nothing to fear unless their account gets compromised. At that point, they need to work with SE to prove the compromise.

If you fear getting an "arbitrary" ban hammer, ask yourself what you are doing to generate that fear.
