I saw this questionnaire in a different X-ray ban appeal while idly browsing, so I thought it might help to answer it as I anticipate I'll be asked the questions anyway.
Why is X-raying bad?
It's cheating, which gives one an unfair advantage over other players for no good reason.
How does X-raying affect other players?
It gives the X-rayer an advantage over them, essentially, and I would guess it's demoralising to see someone so far ahead in so little time.
How does X-raying affect the server’s economy?
It artificially deflates the price of the item the X-rayer went for, which has a tendency to crash economies, and would more specifically mean that people who spent time and effort acquiring, say, diamonds legitimately and going to sell them would fetch a lower price and thus get less for their work.
If you really need an item what is a better way of getting it than using X-Ray?
Standard mining methods and any other way of obtaining it that doesn't involve cheating or stealing etc.
What have you learned from this ban?
Think before acting, and follow the rules.
