I am very happy to at least see that the majority of people are also very happy the RMT are getting banned.The big problem is that people are very naive and don't see the whole picture.Banning accounts does absolutely nothing to fluctuate the market,as these people have more accounts that are not banned and just move to playing them.It also takes no time at all for them to level up new botters and continue on there merry way.
All that banning does is allow squenix to save a little face for doing such a poor job of policing there game over the long haul.These mass bannings do what?it creates more sales for squenix because these RMT are not worried about losing players they are only in it to make money,therefore just go right back out and buy another account.
The players that get banned that are not RMT,are at least strictened at losing all there hard work,but at the same time...what hard work?99% of these players cheat to the fullest,just goto any cheat site and read the general forums,you don't need a subscription to read there general forums.These subject few have also gone right back out and purchsed for some ,there third accounts.
Here is the biggy,that really bothers me.If squenix TRULY is sincere in cleaning up there game and not just saving face,then why are these players IP blocks not getting banned so they can't return under a new account?Why not take the majority of RMT items out of commission by making them rare/ex?The exact same way they did with leaping boots and a few others?just make them still attainable to sell but you have to earn them through the bcnm's.This way everyone is happy,you can still sell them to make money but they have to be earned ,no room for botting whatsoever this way.After 3 years square enix is not showing me a very good effort in cleaning up the game.I can tell you that many many others are also very unhappy,just goto any camped RMT mob,and see the expression of players after the RMT claims yet another NM!
