Odd.. I read an article on another site about this, and most people support what SE has done. In fact, the only loud voice against it, is one of the people posting here as well.

That again brings up the issue of magnitude. The magnitude of "legitimate" players who lost gil is no where near the number people constantly writing fear-mongering posts would have you believe.

It's pretty damn easy to sit at a keyboard, proclaim innocence and knowledge of some large unknown number of people effected. Heck, if I were in the RMT business, I would do whatever I could to make SE look like the bad guy so I could keep making real world $$$ off of an in-game virtual currency.
