I'm not making a post about them because there's already several (3+) threads made about that, and it's obvious Nasomi is aware given the fact bans have already been handed out.
That ban was for MPK, not claim stealing. If you have info on someone being banned for utilizing the claim steal method, please share.

I have pulled several peoples on FFXI/this server, and the low level exping is definitely what caused the most to get discouraged. Once the ball gets rolling tho,they get addicted just like any of us.
The exp ring is in era, so having it turned off doesnt make any sense to begin with. Not sure why you seem to disagree. If you think it's a waste of time, you should also say that in the thread complaining about Kuftal's mobs placement?
Because the mobs in Kuftal have been off since before I got here and they still are to this day? You're not supposed to have 10+ worms that aggro sound near PW spawn, at most 4-6, and they aren't supposed to aggro. The fact that mobs now enter the water is a welcome change to me.
Forgot: My point about exp rings is they haven't been active for any extended period of time on this server until recently. To expect that to be the new normal is kind of foolish.
Having the ring turned off occasionally when EP/DC/EM mobs were legitimate ways of exping when outside of a group was alright. Having it turned off and nerfing the exp tables, while also making exp camps less convenient just seems a bit forceful. The fact I think that doesnt mean I don't think the Kuftal situation shouldnt also be fixed, just like anything else on the server.
Regarding the ban, regardless of the reasons, it means Nasomi is well aware of the bug. Witty comments about him pointing things out as being features aside, I'm pretty sure the guy knows fully well how much of a problem this is if he's aware of it, especially given what has been going down since it was implemented. Don't get me wrong, I'm just irritated as the next guy about what this servers gets wrong, but getting offensive about it with other players won't make matter any better.
I'm done discussing this topic. I just wanted to make a post because I've seen peoples be legitimately upset about the ring going away despite the severe exp nerfs, but no post on the forums. And given the fact, as you said, that Nasomi does read the forum, pointing this out made sense to me.
I've done the new Valkurm camps twice recently (working on dual maat caps, fml), and they're barely changed from before. The safe spots are still safe, and the spots where you would frequently have lizards link are now closer to a goblin, but you were dumb if you were camping in those spots without a PL before. The only really annoying change is some of the lizards path off into the distance for no discernible reason so you're more likely to drop chain, but even still, the Dunes are so damn short that you're in for at most an afternoon of slight inconvenience.
I'm not a fan of the EP/DC mob change. I've got 1 more job to do 1-12 on on Cthalupa, one three that are at 8 or 9, and 10(!) more jobs to do it on on Twopa, so I've gotta deal with that shitty grind quite a bit. Really wishing I had just sat down over a couple of weekends, unlocked every job for both chars, and taken them all to 12. Regretting it hard now.
But it's also sort of whatever - I did do that grind on retail, and XP ring cooldowns in era didn't work like they do on Nas. You couldn't burn through a whole ring in a day - they had a 16 hour cooldown. You basically got one charge a day.
