With that out of the way, it's not always evident what's done with them. The STF/devs/whoever release a report occasionally about how many accounts violated ToS in one way or another and what sorts of actions were taken upon those accounts, this's the same report that RMTs issues are listed in. They don't delete the characters/names(if you blacklist them as well as report).

Ultimately you have one of two options when you see these players: ignore them, or keep reporting.

Specifically this is the report they make available for players to see (Released Yesterday): http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...bd9b7dbc0ce333
Have you ever gone back through the reports and added up the number of banned accounts this is? It's literally hundreds of thousands....and yet people would still have us believe that the STF does little to nothing.
