This just in – more RMT etc bannings

[spooky]

Corrected grammar and spelling. >.> It's very good though. ^^ You can finish it!

‘Twas a month before Christmas, when all through Vana'diel,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Dahamel;


The traps had been set by the NMs with care,
In hopes that evidence soon would be there;


The doubters were nestled all snug in their Mog houses,
While nothing but bitching danced from their mouths;
And Mamma in her B.Haidate, and I in my Maat's cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the official website there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bronze bed to see what was the matter.
Away with my Windower I flew like a flash,
Tore open the Mog house door and threw on my lolsash.
The rumours on the tongues of everyone online,
Gave the impression that it may be SE's day to shine,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,


But a massive banstick, and Gil removal cheers,
A four year old MMORPG, with CGF issues of course,
I knew in a moment it must be the RMT Task Force.
Slower than snails their coursers they came,
And they whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Fgstd! now, Rihdf! now, Qwdyfx and Xrtshfn!
On, Sdhjf! On Kyrgsd! On, Rryfgd and Lkybfn!
To the top of Ro'Maeve! To the God’s hall!
Now ban away! Ban away! Ban away all!"
As imperial tea leaves that before the hurricane wyvern fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, no route to the sky,

Yeah I kinda do wish they listed names/server it'd be interesting to see just how much people got banned that weren't rmts

As for how this affects our economy?

Gil Sellers get accounts banned -> swap to dormant account.
X Million gil gets removed from server -> no IGE XMas sale, no price hikes (plans to make profit over the seasonal time foiled)
Gil seller banks removed -> Must harvest new gils to sell ASAP (need rice) -> liquidating items (newb scores haidate for dirt cheap)

Overall... merry XMas. Asura's economy keeps crashing.

I almost bought a verm for my pld way ahead of time expecting a Christmas Sale where they would jump up to 5 times the current price in a month. I'm glad I never bought it because they likely will be a fraction of the current price in a week or so.

[Lordender]

i won't get overly excited until 72hrs pass to see who is really gone from my server but this is a start and hope it continues.

45B = 45,000M * $24/M (IGE price) = $1,080,000

At 7.87 Yuan Per USD that's 8,503,937 Yuan!

RMT = PWNED

Anything legit about a person who bots?

Not like the quotation marks around Legit indicate that he meant Non-gilsellers who used Third party tools etc. !

SE: Good on 'ya, mate.

[Krandor]

I ran thru the list of blatant botters or ex-botters on Asura and they're all still on, if this banning tagged "legit" players I don't think it affected Asura.

Actually I've seen an interesting thing a couple times lately where the mob is sitting thre yellow for the normal amount of time or longer, but says it's already claimed. Hopefully if that was what it seemed like they caught the people up in it real quick.

I've actually noticed this the past few days. In Aery the darters would be cleared, and i could target Fafnir yellow and be just spamming dia with my enter key and nothing at all would happen. In the past I would usually get boned by delay, but I was getting nothing for 4 days straight. Some JP shell was the one getting it 4 days straight also. The thing was, when i went and looked at the log NO ONE in Aery was casting on him besides the JP shell. I asked people in my LS and they said they couldn't do anything. Hopefully this bans those JPs.

[Vobent]

SE bans JPs?

[Machazareel]

Considering the brunt of this wave of bans was focused in Japan, I'm gonna go with yes.
