Apparently they are gardening now too?
Yeah they are, that's why all those legit gardeners got banned because they were mistaken for RMT just because RMT have started gardening and npc'ing what they get for gil. So according to SE, if you do that too, you're RMT >_>
For one thing, RMT have always gardened, fished, and done anything else that they can easily bot, tho the fishing has gone down alot since SE has produced better ways of detecting tools and banning them more frequently, And secondly if players got banned who gardened, they were doing something else than gardening or exploiting a glitch while gardening, SE doesnt go ban crazy for no reason,
No, legit players have got banned due to SE's automated detection tools. I recall reading on BG last night that trial accounts will get automatically banned if they NPC anything to Proud Beard in Bastok. Hell I remember at Fanfest SE even mentioned innocent people getting jailed while they were testing the program. The auto jailings have been getting a lot of attention outside the XI community as well. The escapist has a topic about it going on.

This is for the Proud Bead bans: http://www.bluegartrls.com/forum/78095-warning-proud-beard.html
I do have to admit I am loving the irony of this. SE says they can't do anything to people who bot at HNMs when they say they have no proof. Yet NPCing something to a certain NPC on a trial account or having a bunch of gardening mules is proof enough to them you're RMT and they'll ban you w/o hesitation.
