Ah, but you see in the 2009 Salvage Bans in FFXI it was simply duping gear that did nothing but save people time from farming the same remnant over and over...duping is an exploit but it wasn't 'dire enough' for SE to go:

"Nope, you dun goof'd after we warned you we're watching."

And laid the smack down, even on people considered 'key FFXI players' - Of course it made the news because a company dare not actually...ban players for breaking the rules, especially en mass. In all honesty, they need to man up like that again, it's almost guaranteed people would straighten up even if it lasts only a few months.

Also, stop saying it's immaturity - You steal a candy bar, you're stealing, it's not ok because "it's only a candy bar", breaking the rules is breaking the rules - some minor some major, but if you do nothing at all you're honestly sending the message:

"It's perfectly ok to break the rules, go ahead!"
