So when are bans being thrown out..

[kaellok]

We won't see bans throw out because it's too easy for there to be false positives. The two common "exploits" I've seen at various times (I won't list them to avoid ToS violations) are common everyday actions within FFXIV that are simply extended indefinitely.

Bans aren't needed. Kicks are. Maybe a redesign of how the game determines AFK. I don't craft often--is it realistic to expect that it can take 30 minutes to craft a single item? If not, then as someone above me suggested, during the first few weeks of the expack SE should make it so that no key-press for 30 minutes = kicked.
