BOTS!!!!!!!

I think they have banwaves.. trouble with this is by the time their account is shut down, they have already profited enough from it.

A new character made on a preferred/new server reaching level 30 at the time the server is still under new/preferred status.
I got that yesterday on my 12th character on twintania. And ironicly saw MANY bots at just about every MSQ location.

Have you had the 1 mil gil once or more than once?

It only takes a day for a gil farming bot to hit max level and start farming away in Amdapor, so the weekly ban waves really do accomplish nothing in the long run.

They need to target their methods, not the bots themselves.

Seems they have taken some action on this thread.. or is this US only?

That's for the game as a whole.

The gil farming bots are lumped into the RMT/prohibited activites category, which is why the number is so bloated.

The number of "normal" bots getting banned is a laughably small figure when it's on average less then one bot banned per server in the game, plus there's no guarantees that none of the expendable gil farmers aren't getting lumped into that category by accident either.
