Why not a warning?

"But you knew the risk" Shut up, your precious leader Yoshida has taken a neutral stance on this matter for far too long to act like he's got a spine now.

Sorry but what's neutral about him saying "Don't do it"? I swear it's like alot of you folks haven't grown up. Rules are rules. You are at the mercy of the rule makers. They can ban you for anything they deem fit. You don't have to like it but those are the facts. Indeed, you DO know the risk. Stop acting like those breaking the rules aren't at fault. I'll say it again, they've been playing with fire this whole time n got burnt.

And yet the rule maker has been pretty lenient when it comes to things like ACT. Look I'm all for them enforcing the rules but they don't get to pick and choose when to enforce them. You either enforce it fully or not at all.

Actually they do, that's ALSO in their Terms of Service.

" If a violation is confirmed as a result of our investigations, Square Enix may, in its sole discretion, issue a penalty to the relevant Final Fantasy XIV service account. "

Yet that is not something for you to debate on. Its within their rights and Yoshi-P and the ToS clearly states that they can ban anyone at anytime whether they deem they're breaking their rules. Grow up.

Correct. This is something I won't ever argue. My main concern is with how broad their statement was yesterday. They should probably clarify their stance a bit more. Some people are making some seemingly outrageous claims in jest, but I feel that the concern is more than justified with how vague their statement really was.
