If I had to take a guess, suspending a few hundred (or a thousand?) accounts didn't make any difference.
During our full raid yesterday, we had a huge spike. This was after this post. Just curious what is the issues with servers lately.
With how much higher the population is on FV I would bet that you've got a *lot* more autobots farming / selling stuff to flip for Plat and Krono RMTs than other servers. It's not like they banned 100% of everyone who uses that software, I know on my much lower pop server a bunch of the 24/7 farm crews were left untouched.
I have noticed there seems to be noticeably less traders setup in the bazaar on FV then before, as some of the stalls are nearly empty now. It doesn't seem to have affected prices all that much though yet. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have hit the biggest culprits which are the script/bot teams, as just yesterday I saw one of the most notorious bot teams doing their thing again in Basillica. It seems to be hit and miss at this point.
