RMT: Time to start banning IP addresses

[Shirai]

I'm hardly a skilled "hacker" yet I program for a living and I make over 60k a year for an extremely secure job with fantastic benefits. Oh, and it's all legal and I don't have to worry about police knocking on my door at any moment. If these people had any real skills they wouldn't need to spend their time creating bots that spam whispers to everyone for a RMT site. They would get a legitimate job making legitimate money. I hardly expect anything they are doing is extremely complicated.

Flaunting around with your sallary sais nothing, while you sit safely and comfortably in your desk chair with your education and carreer oportunities the people resorting to RMT usually have nothing of that.
Most of them don't live in countries with those oportunities.

By the way, I make about the same as you doing retail automation. /notimpressed

I made my education and career opportunities happen. I didn't get a dime from anyone for my education. I worked two jobs for 60 hour work weeks AND going to school full time, living on 5 hours of sleep a night if I was lucky. And because of terrible college choices, I basically had to start over as a freshman after I was already a junior, and I have nothing but an Associates Degree to my name after over 120 credit hours. I worked my way up from dirt nothing and gained myself a career in the midst of a terrible economic recession where every employer wanted a bachelors degree and 10 years experience.

You can point your finger at economic "privilege" all you want, I worked damn too hard for what I have to be phased by your /notimpressed.

And if these people you're talking about had half that work ethic, they could have the same.

All of this

Please show some class. Lots of us have done the same thing, but many are not so lucky, regardless of how much "hard work" they put in. That's just a fact. You're being inconsiderate to not only other players, but people in general. And frankly, none of what you have said in this thread has anything to do with this topic.

OP, I'm sorry, but that solution would not be viable in any way, and would end up hurting more customers than it helps. There is no "solution". This has been a problem for years in many MMO's and they all have the same general ways of handling it. There will never be a way to stop it. I would love to see a documentary on the daily life of an RMT company employee. Seriously, it could educate people on tactics they use, and in general what their daily lives are like.
