    While there is no completely undetectable way there are ways to stay "below the radar" so to speak.
    How exactly, I cannot tell.

    All the ways I can think of are all ways that raise alarm bells, on the other hand, why should RMT care what happens if a buyer gets caught. They have their real cash anyway.

    It's mostly because it's not practical for SE to scan every account for a sudden increase in gil in real time, such a method would cause a lot of strain on servers, and even if the did they would have to be able to prove that the gil came from rmt sources.

    RMT aren't stupid, they will have their spam bots on a separate account to the bank characters, the gil making bots separate to the bank characters etc when someone buys gil it would be traded from the bank characters, the spam bots get instantly banned (the obvious rmt) but the bots are actually harder to ban for rmt activites, all SE can see is that they are botting, the bot then sold some money and traded the proceeds. The bot then gets banned for cheating and using third party software. The money however is still around on a bank character, which then gets sold to a buyer.

    If you look at this another way, I farm loads of gil and decide to help a friend out, trade 1m gil to them, that could look like rmt on SE's servers, should I get banned for helping a friend out, or my friend getting banned? That's how people buy without getting caught, it's impossible to differentiate between a legit player helping another player and someone transferring gil that has been bought.

    This is also why SE are attacking the bots, they are the easy ones to ban.
