SE tried taking action on buyers shortly after launch by removing gil from their accounts. According to them they essentially removed a digit from their gil, if they had 10 mil they went down to 1 mil. The sheer outcry about it on the forums was unreal, tons of people came here claiming they got their gil legitimately and the overall mood was anger against SE for doing this. I can pretty much guarantee that it will be the same situation if they ban those people as opposed to removing the gil so I can't really blame them for not banning buyers (I don't think any mmo does that to be honest).
But still you would think SE is able to track on how the person got the gil. I say that if you earn 10m overnight, you're buying it.

But RMT problem doesn't go away itself just blocking them. We do need some punishment to buyers aswell! They're just as bad.
