Which we all know is completely ineffective because by now there should be 5591 new accounts doing just what they were doing before.

You know, I think this really says something. If they ban thousands of accounts every month and the RMT advertisement is STILL this bad then it means that this approach is not enough. Something else must be done. I'm gonna leave a quote here.

Now if these people are RMT buying new games this is how they are profiting form this and they will never try to fix it, I suspect gil sellers are trial accounts, the accounts they farm with likely never spam with. Trial accounts should not be able to send friend requests, you have a friend trying the game, you send them a friend request. Trial accounts should not be able to search for players, this is how they are finding us to send the tells and requests. Trial accounts should not be able to trade or use market board. Trial accounts should only be able to send tells to friends. Gil selling would be crushed instantly. Boom, done finished.

Trial accounts already can't send tells at all, nor shout, yell, trade and use the market board.

That's our answer then, SE is never going to do anything, these people are buying new games to do this(If SE is really banning), revenue through our harassment, wow.

Exactly. My guess is they'll do something about the RMT right around the time of server merges. Whenever that happens. I don't know if it will be after the initial rush of HW or further down the road. It will happen. This game screams "Cheaters Paradise, SE, and believe it or not; that turns people off, especially those who play competitively.

I'm still here because my friends are here, but if they leave, I'll be gone too. I give up.

i swear, people will use quotes without actually knowing if its true or not. no, that is not the insanity, in any way,shape or form.
spectrum of behaviors characterized by certain abnormal mental or behavioral patterns. also, 5591 accounts not characters. one account can make up to 8 characters, more if they delete and create all over again.

The problem is the ban numbers are empty ones. RMT /tells seemingly do not decrease no matter how many bans they dish out. It's obvious other measures are required.
