RMT and Banning Buyers

[Immut]

Bans are bandaids, and it won't make RMT go away - nothing actually will, so it is kinda pointless to try.

What we do need though, and should have had from the start, is better tools to combat them: hide from searches, limiting tells, etc. Things that I think are rather basic and yet aren't implemented, for whatever reason.

The reason is that the Japanese are about a decade and a half behind the west when it comes to programming. They simply do not have the skillset to work with the technologies that a modern MMO requires. Especially when it comes to servers and netcode. There's a reason Japanese fighting games are starting to license GGPO for their netcode.

Anyways, I'm on Chocobo server (2nd most populated server in JP), absolutely no RMT here as far I can see. It's more of a cultural thing, sorry, the west is more vulnerable to these kinds of things.
