This sounds more like wishful thinking than actual facts.
What really matters if a group is banned?
You should know hte problem isnt the botting per se, but the demand for the service offered. So, if a dozen of players are banned for botting, another dozen gonna step up and replace soon.
And if that botting is actually profitable, we are sure the same person must have already an entire cast of chars in standby to take over. Or possibly the same guy must have bots in less populated servers, that he can move to the most profitable one.
Yeah, the only purpose of this thread is to stir the neverending debate about bots in FFXI.
I suppose, now that the Assura inflation thread slowed down, another one must step up to stir the bickering between idiots.
