What an awesome idea! Would be sweet to see Amazon do something like this, but most companies just take the easy way out, if they do anything at all. Wasted opportunity…

In Aion the GM would come to the main square in town, auto port the person to be banned and explode them in a mighty blow up. It was fun.

Ancient systems… i get nostalgic feelings… Seening guys monitoring literary everything… Gender neutral word guys… ps.: human checked AI is the future.
Wow! I was reading this thread and kept thinking, “why not!?” Take something tragic and tearing apart the game, spawning all the negative press, and turn it into something great to remember!
Remember when that dude got caught spamming gold in chat and he got flagged? We must have killed him 80 times!
Holy crap! Captain Thorpe spawned right by this guy and zapped him with this fire beam thing!
It was epic!
Heck, I bet they could find a few volunteer monitors on each server to forward characters to have appropriate action taken. Not really much time or effort involved!
And yeah, instead of negative videos, we’d see gameplay footage of vigilante teams chasing down people caught exploiting…walking around proudly with a new title displayed.

Yeah, until we, by accident, killed an entire city and afterwards werent allowed to do it anymore.
Source: I was there. Part of the Community Team… was fun, but the end was kinda… well… unfortunate
OMG I wish I was there! I would still be cracking up about it 
A-net did this in Guild Wars 1.
When an account got banned and the player was online, an Avatar of Dhuum would appear and swipe em down with a big grom reaper scythe and that was that.
So extra.

If they ban those bots, exploiters, cheaters afterwards Im okay with it
This would serve no point as there would be many flase bans.
For example:
I work and play NW. So I go to node and stand there and when that respawns I press my E key. I’m in meetings most of the day so I can’t play by doing other activities just tabing in and out of game to see if resource is spawned. Of course I put a timer on my phone so I get reminded of the afk timer.
The issue for me is that the entire server hates me and grefs me and calls me bad names because of this.
I don’t blame them but I’ve made several videos and made tickets to the support team because these threats were getting out of hand. At one point an entire guild came after me for days and I felt discouraged to playing the game because some of their members started to dox me.
All they see is someone who is standing there farming and the systems sees a normal person playing the game.
What happens if you were in the same predicament as I am? I have a life, but want to be somewhat ahead in the game.
Yes, sure. Indeed you can get any quality work done if 8 hours a day you have an eye on the other monitor and just sit near a node and press E when it respawns. Test this like you described, it’s almost impossible to get anything else done. So forgive me if I’m sceptical.

It’s very simple, no need to ban anyone. Create a separate server and forcibly move all violators to it - let them live in their own jar with spiders.
Then you can stream from there and sell popcorn.

I always liked this sort of thing. Secretly move all cheaters into a server. Have it display their old server name on login so they never notice.
It’ll just be a bunch of bots fishing and spamming ads to each other.

I my idea is more pragmatic, use captcha to test players/bots. Systems thinks actions seem bot-like? Send it a captcha. Fail 3 and GM shows up. Use system til bot numbers drop, then turn off. Periodically turn back on. For some, like those who fish, would be a little bothersome. Rather than system noticing, could be on a random timer, shows up as long as not in comabt/expedition/etc.

In FFXI there was GM jail, for 72 hours you were in room couldn’t talk to no one, couldn’t do anything in game and you were verbally tortured by the GMs.
Great Idea! Add them as the subject of a Wanted poster manhunt quest on the town board.
Games in the past have shows banned player names scrolled across the screen andthe ban purpose. I would be in favor of this

There was someone on Valhalla that was trying to sell x118 void ores and i can only guess that they somehow managed to dupe that with the server transfer issues.
Anyone could come with void ores from another realm then trade and get the character rolled back to eventually login back and trade again.
You want to put an end to exploiters? Simple: Put a Bounty on their heads. Reward 5% of Gold or Matts for enough proof to get Cheaters banned if they qualify for permanent termination. It’s even cheaper than hiring a bunch of GMs to do that. Tho not very professional.
