Yeah and what sucks is there is no need to devalue the class for RMT sake. I've seen tons of anti-RMT practices in other MMOs that don't impose on regular players. For example, Captchas. Have an NPC run up to you and hand you a scroll to read at random intervals. If you type it in wrong or take too long you get booted to the lobby. Infuse it with the lore of the world or give it a tiny exp reward for each correct input and it won't just seem like an annoying RMT pop up. Obviously thats just one little example. We have an entire team of developers. They have to be able to think of something other than making fish worthless.

I hate captcha's.

Honestly SE's captcha is pretty awful, the last time it came up during beta I took a fifteen minute break rather than do the entire routine of Username/Password/Security token/captcha x4 because I can't tell if that is a letter or a squiggly line since all the letters are warped to look like squiggly lines and they actually have lower case l's in their captcha (ridiculous, is it a line or a lowercase l, well a lowercase l is a line... /ragequit). Can we please not have captcha's actually in the game?

Because you know it can't be text or bots will be able to read it, it has to be annoying in order to prove we are human.
