Level 70 gathering bots go unpunished

[KageTokage]

They need to do what they did in Final Fantasy XI Online ban about 7-12,000 people per week, they literly almost completely eliminated RMT in that game.

...Did they really?

They've been banning the RMTers constantly in XIV as well, but they just keep coming back nigh instantaneously due to being created with automated scripts that produce several dozen bots simultaneously.

The biggest problem is that these guys are largely self-contained and not that harmful to other players overall as their farming done by spamming instances, but they're being targeted over the ones that are instead abusing the market board for their income which does impact other players negatively.

They seem to have a zero tolerance policy for the RMT-related bots, so I don't know why they're flexible about what is/isn't worthy of a permaban, particularly because most of them are paying for subs so they can shout and/or hit level 50.

All bots in general should just get perma-banned, since it's not like it's difficult to determine whether or not someone is doing it (They can just PM a suspect then banhammer if they don't respond within X number of minutes, since any normal player would reply).

I'm not sure what it even takes for them to get caught, since it's not like all these gather/craft bots aren't painfully obvious from their abnormally long periods pf activity and awkward movement patterns.
