It was supposed to hurt RMT not legit players. The suggestions where to make the blinker mission 75+ and make the armor not npc. The changes hit everyone who used this as an outlet now RMT will turn to fishing or other alternatives.
Next stop DYNAMIS RMT floods.
It just gos to show you that given the chance to fix a problem the LAZY easy screw everyone is always used. I don't think STF wanted to invest time so instead of just finding the RMTS the devs killed everything. THat's why STF is nicknamed STFU from the players.
