RMT is actually illegal within China, as well. Go figure.

Are you implying that all RMT are Chinese?

@ Gitt Only if pvp causes them to drop 10% of their gil <.<

@Ingolf The vast majority come from countries with extremely low labor rates and easily bribe-able law enforcement...
And with China having the highest population and one of the lowest labor rates in the world, as well as immunity to western law (and easy to get around local laws), China currently hosts well over 70% of the world's RMT farmers.

I saw 24 RMT accounts all at once at the leve counter in LL once.... That was a sight. lol.

Since 11 I've always said "If they aren't ruining your gameplay experience, then who really cares" I mean if they are monopolizing a monster or something like they did in sky back in the day, that is different. However if they are just leveling, or botting crafts, as long as they arent ruining your gameplay, who cares.

Because people like to see RMT as the boogie men. They think that they have a complete lack of morals and that they're sitting in mansions smoking cigars. Essentially, they'd be the first people to condemn you for griefing, but the first people to go and MPK an RMT if they could.

Oddly enough, that is exactly what the heads of RMT companies do. The workers, however, get paid less than their rent (which is paid to the same people who own the RMT companies) and work in terrible conditions.

Anyone can buy a domain name and start an RMT website, not all RMT are big "business" companies.

Roughly 99% of RMT distribution goes through IGE, Mogs, Lewt, or Ingame Dollar at some point, making all the "smaller companies" trivial at best, and mere subsidiaries of the big 4 at worst.
The point is, we don't want to see the trains of lalafell just standing around.
At the very least, its creepy.
