the use of things like ACT in FFXIV are more a "you can't use it but we can't know you are using it so just don't talk about it or use it against someone" thing so if you complain about someones low DPS you are probably using ACT that is against the rules therefore ban
as for chat I dunno my 1.0 characters ended up on the JP servers for some reason so when i did play it was on the JP servers, different regions will have different moderation teams and the american moderation team is probably all jannies because who else wants to moderate game chat
Ah yeah, just what we need in online gaming: more reasons to be quiet. God, I miss the good ol' days.
Funny isn't it?
Another example is FFXIV.
You can run ACT, Dalamud Plugins and MMOMinion bots all at the same time because of game's non-existent anti-cheat.
Don't get me even started on the rabbit hole that is Mare Synchronus.
But say something less than liberal on public chat or report someone's low DPS. Instant ban.
