Where are the voting results? Nothing has been announced yet The bans could have been lifted. Where are the results? We voted, but there is no news.

The bans aren't being lifted. Kestrel responded to someone recently saying that the vast majority voted for permanent banning.

You're welcome to create a new account but if you RMT your account is permanently banned.

Soon there will be only 200-300 players left, it's almost over.

Yes it's all over because the devs aren't unbanning the scum sucking RMT twats. Totally valid and reasonable argument.

2500 online currently on a Tuesday, peaked at 2750. But sure, there will only be 200-300 players left. Totally.

And here's the post where Kestrel said the majority voted not to unban them.

The vote was not "How long should people be banned for RMT" the vote was "How long ago should an RMT action still be eligible for discipline"

RMT bans always have and always will be permanent.

We were asking if someone buys gold, and we don't catch them until 6 months later, should we still discipline them?

I guess the wording is confusing and many people do not know what a prescription or statute of limitation is. For now we will have none though.
