No more Bot Punishment List?

I've noticed that for the past 3 days the Bot Punishment List is blank. Not a single account has been perma. banned nor blocked for 7 or 14 days. What the hell is up with that?!? :rant: I know the number of banned accounts was ridiculously low anyway, but still... I hope this to be some sort of a calm before the storm.

So I tried to go back to the 3/16 inspection notice and find where they tipped off the bots that they were doing away with the three strikes campaign and going with single elimination. Apparently they are going back on that or they were smart enough to remove it before anyone started caring and stopped botting. IDK, we'll see tonight.

It's starting to look like I was fooled by the latest hype... the update, the gms, and all the other things that have been said. Bah. They better pull through with this.

The bot ban list was a joke anyways because you rarely see player names listed...adsfd...afdsfds jkjkjkh..afdebn..aren't real life players. High level botters that buy silk are keeping this game alive. Dumb2themax/Joymax got their hands tied. I wish someone would physically destroy their data centers and ruin Joymax.

Yeah I do remember reading that inspection notice before. I believe they said they were eliminating the 3 strike policy and going back to a perma-ban if you're caught. If that's the case, they wouldn't have 1/2/3 strike ban lists.

I know they announced they'd remove the 3-strike penalty system after the server inspection on March 23rd, yet we can still see that there are account names in the list up until March 26th. (And those are account names, BuDo, not character names. I think it's preferable for an account name to be kind of a scrambled nonsense.) They better come up with something like 30 000 bans after today's inpection, otherwise I'd feel like Joymax pissed in my face. So stupid of me to come back to this game... I even spent a few dollars for it again. :banghead:

To see the list, click the little Anti-Bot Policy link on the main page of the official website. If you have some problems checking a previous date's list, try using Internet Explorer.
Spoiler!
