It's time to turn to our governments.

They should enact laws putting buying Gold/Gil under criminal prosecution.

Gil buyers are the lowest form of human existence.

Gil buyers are the lowest form of human existence.

I don't even know where to start with that one.

I don't even know where to start with that one.

Start with not taking it too serious.

Take it as an exaggerated version of:
I hate that gilbuyers ruin other people's favorite leisure time experience by supporting RMT.

I'm not sure if you're really serious. Although gil buyers don't ruin a person's experience directly like a griefer would, a gil buyer assists the RMT process, which does cause several problems in the game. Every time someone buys gil, it proves to the seller that there is a market to be had, and they continue their efforts to;

Make bots to make gil, which ruins the market because no one can out-farm a bot.
Make bots to advertise, which just greatly annoys players.
And even to steal accounts for the sake of gathering more gil and using the account for advertising.

Ah.....Now i understand why Midgardsormr is getting RMT spam tells like NUTS!!

Its always like this after a new ban wave.
The RMT tells have also learned to double tell now. So now you get 2x tells for each time they /tell you.

Well....here's a thought I had. Some people might be playing this for the first time, and its their first MMO. It was mine. There isn't anything saying when you start playing that the RMT are bad. Terms of Service? I bet the majority doesn't bother to actually read them. I sure didn't. But you want to know what happens when I create a character on this game? RMT asks me if I want to buy gil as part of their holiday special....during the intro cutscene, before I am even put into the world where anyone can even chat with me yet. What they need to do is put something at the beginning like a help message alerting new players what could happen to them should they purchase gil from an RMT. I know you might think it seems obvious that its no good with some of their cryptic messages, but some people might not be aware starting out that they could face action against their account for it.
