RMT Out of hand

[Kosmos992k]

**snip**I'm sure every one of us has ill-gotten gil from RMT activities and not even know it. And if they were to resort to the mass RMT gil confiscation that they did early on I would initially be shocked and disappointed but, ultimately, understanding. I'd rather have RMT gil* taken from me than have my account banned.

*RMT gil - my definition is gil that have been acquired via someone whom had purchased gil via RMT and used said gil to purchase services (such as Primal/Coil clears/crafting/melding) and goods off of the market boards.

Like in real life, I am sure that there is gil in circulation that someone originally bought from a gil seller and then spent. I don't think there is any merit in trying to somehow trace that gil and pull it back from every account it has somehow tainted. To me, it is the player who buys the gil who is the problem, not the player/ crafters who through selling something on the market board have received some of that ill-gotten gil. I'm talking about taking action against gil buyers, not people who receive some gil in payment for a legitimately sold item on the MB. once the gil leaves the hands of the buyer, I would consider it 'clean' since to do otherwise negatively affects innocent players.

I'll say it again, not to be a pain, and not in reply to you, but just as a general point in this topic... I don't think this can be stressed enough. Without buyers, gil sellers would have no reason to spam anyone. Therefore the most effective way to combat gil sellers is to stop people buying gil.
