Crafting Hack & Bots

[Stompa]

... a dead server like Leviathan ...

I don't feel like I'm in a dead server.

I feel like I'm in beautiful Vana'diel, having fun and exciting adventures with my friends.

On topic, though, I agree that the best way to diminish the presence of the RMT/Mercs/Botters is to never use any of their services, zero tolerance mode.

And to encourage new players to actually play the game by the game's rules, to make friends, to team up, to overcome difficult challenges by working hard, etc.

And to understand that NPCs don't initiate trades.

That's the problem, hoards of players on Asura do use their 'services'. Hence why they are there and are dominating the area, and why people have difficulty making legit CP parties. In todays society, people will take the easy option if it is offered to them. Legit or not.

I have /blisted as many as I can, however when you zone, it takes a couple of seconds for the /blist to 'load'. In the brief 1 second I zoned, there were 8 JP/EXP selling yells that I had blocked. That's how rapid it is on /yell.
