Rampant botting and RMT..nothing being done

[abzoluut]

Ok, yes, the botting is still a problem and annoying as all hell. But to say they're doing nothing about it when they banned over 9000 (insert meme here) accounts in a single week is a little disingenuous, isn't it?

You may find it disingenuous, but I find it rather odd when people credulously assume this 9000 ban information were to be true.

They need to give us something to create the illusion they try hard. Else more and more people would feel like the OP.

Why only ban bots? No one can really check that, it's just a number SE gives us. I bet none of OP's LS are banned. Why not ban 9000 gil buyers too? Now that would be a blast. It also means 9000 * $X subscription gone. No way they'll do that.

At the wnd of the day, bots stay. We need to be given the tools to cut down the spam/friend requests etc.
