They don't see (because they aren't looking, unless someone else reports) all of the things you want them to ban (they do see some of them because they can track certain server actions), because if they did, they'd see you, too.

Literally, they are letting you do what you want to, even when it's against the rules, unless you do so brazenly, and all you have to say is, "Well someone else is cheating, so why can't I? Why don't you literally ban everyone I don't like first before you target me. Targeting me is bad because, for some reason, I think I'm a special, innocent rule breaker who shouldn't be banned!" Because, you know, even if they somehow managed to ban all the other people you want banned first, you'd still find an excuse to make for why you shouldn't be.

You know how to not get banned, so it is entirely in your power not to. Take some responsibility for yourself.
It's the year 2075. Square Enix just made another lodestone announcement that they banned 2000 RMT bots this week. I go out of my canary to the robo-dispenser, and flashed my human ID at a screen. "REE-JECTEEED" screams the Overseer. Guess I forgot to renew my food license. As I try to remember where the license manufacturer is, I see thousands of silver robots blitzing through the sky hovering above me. They were gone as fast as they appeared. I sighed, and as I looked up I saw an old friend. I lamented that this bot crisis is terrible. He raised an eyebrow at me. "That isn't true. Square Enix does banwaves every week! It's posted on the Lodestone". I was too tired to debate him
"I guess so, it's ju--" Suddenly a shriek echoed through the human cluster: WVVW. MOG SALE . ORG . SH 1M calories = $6000 CHEAP FAST DELIVERY. Guess it's another one of those adbots. "Well, at least those get banned" I thought to myself.
