So every time I log into Final Fantasy XIV I find myself just standing there. Sometimes it takes a few seconds, sometimes a few minutes, but it always happens. I get a tell. "Go too bysomegilanhavuraccnthaxed.com for a fun time!" I take a small amount of pleasure in blacklisting these guys. Of course, I wish I could do so much more, but there's only so much a mere player can do against RMT assholes.
Then, this morning, I came across this story.
Just take that in. Go on, I'll give you a minute. Read that story, take it in. There, are you good? Oh, you may want to celebrate a while. I'll give you another minute. I'll be right here.
In case you're too lazy to click a link, here's the information:

It's a good day to be a player. 1499, nearly 1500 accounts banned for breaking the damned rules. This is a beautiful, beautiful day for Eorzea. The only thing that could have made this better is if they rounded up all these characters in a public square and had a dragon scorch them to death. Or a swarm of cactuars running through them, shootings their thousands of needles into every blasted gil seller in sight. And we would all be standing around the square in stands watching, cheering, clapping.
Then we'd get a tell: "come 2 our site and bye som gil 2day!!1"....
Dammit.
