A plea to SE about RMT

[Aerowaffle]

Square isn't going to tell you their methods of dealing with rmt, nor should they. You don't catch people doing something wrong by telling them exactly how you plan to catch them. All it would take is one person to come to the forums, read that and then they can adjust their entire operation accordingly to make sure they avoid getting caught.

The only thing they can do is tell you how successful they are, which they do, by posting their actions taken against rmt and other illicit activity every week. You can find it on the lodestone under the notifications tab.

So a "Hey, we're currently increasing our efforts and implementing new things" is too much to ask?

Or even, "We're aware that the RMT problem has been increasing and we have plans rolling to reduce it" to address the growing number of customers that are upset by the current status of RMT presence.

The lack of a public statement acknowledging the people's concerns, the automated responses in game, the increase in RMT spam, blatant farm bots that continue to exist for long periods of time, all give the feeling that our concerns are being swept under the rug and ignored.
