The 3-Strikes Policy - Is it really a good thing?

How can you break the rules 3 times?! It's insane they even give you 2 warnings!

I haven't broken a single rule yet and don't plan to!

For some reason I doubt that. Not sure why.

To be fair, my OG FF14 ARR account is from the initial US release of the game. I was still in my teens behaving like an angsty teenager. I wasn't a toxic or bad person at all but I still said things in the moment that are out of character for me. It is unreasonable for a grown adult me that's had another 8 years of mature development to still face penalties for something that happened this long ago. In no world, in any setting, irl or in game, is harsh punishment like this reasonable.

This gets muddy the longer you play. Picture WoW for example. I started playing that game when I was 13! I had 2 brothers. I have 3 now and the youngest is almost as old as I was when I started playing that game. Do you see what I mean? I was a literal child when I started playing that game. I'm now an adult with my own child. These things have to be accounted for.
