I'm a bit baffled by all the posts regarding RMT. Is this the first MMO for a lot of you? As the JP player stated, this is common in all MMOs, and definitely not specfic to just XIV. Since SE is constantly trying to stay a leg-up on the RMT, it would make no sense at all for them to inform the public what measures have been put into place and what exactly gets your account flagged, otherwise it would be incredibly easy for RMT to side-step these things.

Another thing, I'm not sure if all MMOs handle them the same, but from the handful I've played, they tend to do mass bannings for RMT at a single time. They will toss their net, collect what they can, and then ban them all together. Yes, that means that you'll have to endure a few things for a little bit, but we'll all survive.

And lastly, as pointed out earlier in the thread, Gil Buyers. The community itself is a huge part of the issue as we are the ones who provide the RMT reason to be here in the first place. Good luck getting people to stop buying gil though. (no, I do not buy)
