Accounts Banned & Special Task Force Report (09/25/2007)

Fishing should create a "hate" that over large extended time periods give the goblin BH the ability to agro even a 75. Then again change the names of the Bounty hunters to "wildlife and gaming commission" and issue fishing permits. The goblins then can crack skulls for violation of their fishing permits!

(this started as a random humor thought, but might actually be viable in some fashion).

purchase lvl1 charged item. charge gives status effect that lets you fish goblin free for timeperiod (somewhat random duration, like 30 min +-10 min). fishing without over time enables them to agro you (and summon a level appropriate foe). Limited purchase of said charged item or something or just keep logs of when players purchase them for trending.

who needs all those fancy graphs about rmt activity when we can just sum the bans up with this:

The day they post this "Accounts Banned" thing is usually the day they ban most of those accounts. Hence the reasoning for these threads often turning into a "so which HNM LS lost the most members to botting?" threads, or anything of the like.

Not that it really matters, but it looks like they're banning weekly now and only posting reports once a month (their graphs show "measures implemented" on 8/23, 8/30, 9/6, 9/12, and 9/19). It used to be the case that they actually did the bans at the same they made the post, but now the post is "these are all the bans we've done in the past month."

I think the process is like:
Days 1-6: Research and compile a list of characters to be banned.
Day 7: Ban the entire list at once.

Your graph (or rather, VZX's) is still correct, except it seems they ban much more frequently than they post about banning.

Oh, this is good news.

I can see there are many crazy graphs and bannings taking place here.

Either way the economy has really been improving compared to a few years back, so whatever they are doing my advice is keep it up.
