Especially when those words are presented in a context that suggests that the problems at issue were not properly understood in the first place, rendering empty answers even emptier. It also doesn't help that the 'answer' is surrounded by contradictory statements that at one moment state that there is literally nothing to worry about and then at the next moment state that the needs of a 'niche' playstyle (a niche playstyle! in MY sandbox?) will not affect the way he proceeds. So, it is really not surprising that people continue to ask for clarification in response to such a complex of empty phrases, contradictory statements, and expressions of a lack of concern for the issues at hand (which in any case seem not to have been properly understood).
The concern that seems to be raised is..
We're worried that certain styles of game play that heavily involve meta gaming could be misconstrued as RMT activity and result in false positive bans. We wan't some explanation or assurance of how the security policies in place will avoid this.
To rephrase the answer (yet again) from Sreegs that has been repeated several times...
Ultimately, it is not possible to ensure that false positives from situations like this will not occur. This is due to much of the meta gaming revolving around these game play styles does not exist within the game mechanics and is therefor out of the control of CCP. It is also due to the fact that sharing details about how the policy might avoid these situations would compromise the process.
It has been stated that they do not believe they have caught any true false positives yet, but that there have been some bans reversed in certain situations where some other lesser infraction (illegal account transfer) may have cause a link to occur.
An assurance that situation X or profession Y will be protected cannot be given because in doing this "underwriting" they would be declaring a potential loophole or safe haven for RMT activity.
Because of the sensitive nature of the policy the only realistic assurance that can be give, has been given...
"If situations like these occur they will be dealt with on a case by case basis, considering the merits of the individual situation"
