Hello people of Ifrit. Recently I lost 4 friends to a banning spree SE went on. First was Bowenman. We suspect he was banned for getting angry with the rmt using the 30 day trial (I'm sure you all get the spam from them). Well, Bowen got angry with them on many occasions. Next, a couple of weeks later, some mutual friends of ours were all banned, Keeria and Atessa. They talked to Bowen much more than I did, so I suspect they were banned for this. I propose that we gather as many people as possible in whitegate on march first to protest this. SE isn't doing their job and allowing REAL players to play undisturbed. The rmt are controlling them, and making them do unjust things to players without SE realizing this. They make no attempt to discuss with players, they simply ban them from playing. If you can help, it would be appreciated. Thank you if you took the time to read this.

Bowen seems to have been banned for having sent several /tells to RMT spammers, and it seems they're banning most of the people who he frequently interacted with. This is unjust and franky ludicrous. I'll be making a new character using some spare Content IDs to participate in this event.

Wow I had no idea that RMT's spamming folks was such major issue. Don't get me wrong I heard about it happening but nothing like this. That's unheard of on our server. You guys must be getting driven crazy.

Let us know how your march on Imperial Whitegate goes.

So wait. Even if I were to respond to RMT tells saying "Go die in a fire" I could potentially be banned for simply responding? That's pretty lame, yet at the same time doesn't surprise me when it comes to SE's "tactical" ways of combating RMT.

Yes, that seems to be the case. That's all Bowen did that could be even remotely illegal, and now they're banning the people he interacted with most often, presumably on principal.

Have you tried calling SE's customer service or contacting someone through their site to file a complaint and have it investigated? Yeah I know, sucky service and all, but I think they do have some sort of setup for people who think they've been unfairly banned. Could work. ^^

lol, yeah, I love the new filters, instead of "Brogame.com cheap ffxi gil!" now we get the awesome replacement that is "Gvxgamej cheap ffxi gil! (Gvx=Bro, j=.com) Wish you have fun!"

Bowen already tried it to no result and I'm currently in line for a reply, though I'll have to wait till Monday.

POIDH.

Also I get tells with weird frequency. Sometimes I can get them like 2-3 an hour and others not for days litterally. Doing the same thing in the same zone.

I'd rather not play the "proove it to me" game. I don't care whether some arbitrary person believes me, I simply know what happened.

SE is pretty harsh on its harassment stuff sometimes. Lets hope your friend didn't use bucketloads of vulgar language and racial slurs and lets also hope that those folks who were the supposed RMT actually got caught for it. Regardless, its still harassment :(

Botting usually can't be proven. Also you might already be on record for some stuff but they just didn't think it meritted telling you till now. Also they always threaten.

You know you were a bad boy right!?! Do it again and banhammer ok? You can go along your way now

Wow what am I planning on coming back to lol.

I was kinda hoping they would have got rid of them damn RMT tells, coz they do drive me up the wall...

Can't believe they've banned Bowen and Keeria :(

I think SE really are douche bags sometimes, there are plenty of people out there that deserve to be banned yet they just seem to ignore them.

Is that tele bot still in WG? The little taru?
I've reported him countless times and still nothing gets done.

lol I havent seen the taru for a long while. but I have to say the "filter system" was a good plan, but I laughed harder when took SE countless of days to put this defense up and took rmts... day maybe ... day and half at most.

I have been jailed 2-3 times for claims I was an rmt. because I was claiming a mob that rmts were hunting the most. (she/he wasn't clear what my charges were)

SE good in ways but they don't do the research to check char names, where the gil usually goes and so forth.

I hope your friends come back, I been around on FFXI long and lost friends and gained new ones.

I'm back, SE apologized and after a bit of bureaucracy, my account was active again.

@Koga: I'm sorry you couldn't follow simple rules in a Dynamis LS. I'm also shocked that you remain butt-hurt after all this time. It's somewhat sad, but is your prerogative. And, by the fact that they restored my account, I'd have to give your theory that I'm RMT a big fat lol.

I love the filter system. I receive maybe a tell a day at most now, when I used to receive several per hour. :3

I wouldn't worry much about Koga as he has a severe personality disorder in real life, and it just spills over in-game and within forums.

I am afraid there is always more to the stories than is always told. Since I never saw him come back there was more to the story than what was told. There are a temp band and then they investigate what was said. If you go off telling someone your going to hunt them down and kill them that is a threat no matter how much you you don't mean it. I know people can make you really mad sending tells at all hours of the day and night but what you /tell is set in stone. What you think can not be set in stone.
