Thing is, you have to look at it like this. What are they farming, are they doing so in a consistent fashion, as in non stop grinding, repetitive/robotic like methods. Is there anything going through the chat log, even if it's scripted, to appear like normal player banter?

I made a report a month or so ago regarding a group I suspected was farming Dulahans and Bats in Proud Creek. Same type of thing, group of BLMs/WHMs wearing mixmatch gear, usually Mage aligned body sets, with crafting accessories. The reason they were farming those particular mobs, I discovered (I was doing an Atma book for the Dullahans), is that each mob was dropping about 180-220 gil a pop. You have a full party, that's about 1760 gil a kill, so a thousand kills (a long time, yes) would net 1.7m gil, quite easily, especially with how abundant and how quickly those mobs respawned.

Next day, decided to have myself a look see. Killed one of each mob, no gil at all, not even a reduced amount. They removed the gil drop completely. What happened to the people in the report? No clue, maybe it was innocent, perhaps not. I doubt I'll ever find out as I didn't write the names to a permanent list. But just food for thought, consider the circumstances surrounding a group of people you suspect for RMT behavior. What are they doing exactly, because SE cannot justify banning people just because they lack fashion sense. lol
