Saw a ton of people with the name "Mys ****" where the *** was something sort of random standing around Camp Horizon in Onion Doublets and more Onion Gear... is this a gang of RMT with those sorts of names?

= RMT
I've already reported many of they Mys- named bots/RMT.
pretty easy to spot usually 1 Hyru and an army of lalas all with similar names
I've seen that guy...
In fairness to him, he might not be an RMT exactly just a multi-boxing dork who is in it for the SP/XP advantages.
After all, the community is kind of small for that at this point, you'd mostly have to be spending a lot of time hoping the PS3 launch would be huge and if it wasn't, it'd be a complete waste of time that never payed off.
He probably did lie in and/or create accounts and pretend to be multiple people in some fan site forum's 'request a buddy pass' thread to get multiple accounts for free and I get the feeling he will probably quit on many of them and/or try to sell the accounts as soon as the game gets a monthly subscriber fee.
And if you haven't given anybody your buddy pass yet, you might discover that if you ever do, the code has been used already, because some guy like that decided to crack the code generation for buddy passes rather than request them from request threads.
The most multi-boxing I've ever heard of with ppl having decent control over them with ('cause yeah they bot) was 5... there were like 12 of these guys out there.

Ya. says it all.
I used to see these guys all the time (back in Nov).. haven't seen them much since.

Back in November, the game's future didn't look too good, so all the gilsellers focused on more profitable markets. Now that FFXIV and it's player community are starting to improve, there's now a viable market. TBH though, if you have to buy gil for this game, you are either very lazy, or unworthy of even being called a casual gamer.
Yeah...I was thinking something more like a bored system admin at a computer lab with a bunch of unused PCs who was doing it for his own fast leveling, easy gil, endless inventory and anima and such, where you still wouldn't have to have control over more than a few of them in action at any given time, while the rest were back at the aetheryte.
...
That said, I've seen the "Mys" family again and it's way bigger than it was back when I used to see it a few months ago. There were like 16+ at Bloodshore and I was thinking wow, they're getting bigger, I guess they probably are professional RMT...
...and then I teleported to Horizon and there were another 16+ of the same Mys family.
They're probably JP because if I see them active, it's like 1AM-11AM EDT. And that makes sense because the JP's are much more active than the NA and EU communities on Mysidia...i.e. there is some semblance of a market for them to sell to. Either that or they just plan to 'corner the market' for the PS3 launch.
It occurred to me the characters are called "Mys" because it's the server and it's for helping them keep their efforts organized. They probably have something like "Bes" on Besaid, "Lind" on Lindblum, etc.
Hmm... so yeah, most likely RMT. About the only other explanation I can think of is that they might be some kind of SE group.
At least they didn't steal any the good names. :-)
I've never seen any RMTs like that until yesterday by the aetheryte (sp?) crystal in Uldah. There were about 6 of them and they all warped in about 2 seconds of each other. They might be the same ones from the picture.
Looks like they're back..
