This was the second to last slide of that part.
The live chat in twitch was going nuts about "how come bots aren't there?" , to which "ranking" suggests either there are not as many bots as people think there are, or harassment far outshines bots for action taken.
Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
I guess they're more than happy to take our money for as long as we'll tolerate being second-class.
I'm disabling the auto-renew for my sub. I'll have fun with the new stuff in 4.3 while it's fresh. After that, I probably won't come back until things improve. If they ever do. I don't like being a convenient afterthought.
They still do? Oh boy.....
I understand that they want to prevent market abuse, since it happened in the past, but considering that datamining is a thing I don't get why they keep doing this
Well still no digest, was too much giving a sorta deadline by any chance?
I'm not so strict that I can't understand some delays but a timeframe would've been nice
Not sure how RMT is 5th place when you see weekly (bi-weekly?) reports on thousands of RMT bans lol. What? Is this a blind eye approach from SE?
Unless they're bundling up botters in inappropriate conduct.

Yeah, they put up an explanation on what happens if you use 3rd party programs. The slide was basically common knowledge for most and not addressing the real issue many players asked on the LL QA thread.They did talk about bots in the LL and also expalined their ban policies, as I said they also included a bot section in the RMT reports, which means to me they do listen, however they could you know tell us that.
As for their translation on twitter, well I was sure it wasn't going to work, hence why I wanted ppl to focus on this problem, more than where the money are supposedly going
They'd have to be excluding those gil-farming bots from the equation for botting/RMT to not be occupying a higher spot on that list, as there's an endless cycle of 100+ bots being created, then eventually banned being repeated across several different servers several times a month.
I seriously doubt that harassment reports outnumber the bans being issued to those bots, so I'm honestly thinking they're just doing damage control by not mentioning it.
What's more annoying to me is that the same gathering bots are allowed to persist as long as they have when they explicitly stated that they monitor PvP bots for repetitive actions then use their behavior as a guide for mass banning bots exhibiting similar behavior.

I know that, but as soon as possible is not acceptable, if it was said in a week, while a long time for something that we should know asap, it would've been acceptable and if they had to delay it for some reason I could've been more forgiving.
Considering that comunications ARE a problem not for the quality but for the quantity, I seriously doubt we are asking for too much
