I've only been playing FF14 since early access of Stormblood, so I am still a fairly "new" player, but I have been really impressed how the community really supports the cracking down on RMT in the game. I play on the EU server Lich and I always report chars that are spamming the trade channel with RTM "services". Through my travels in the game, I have actually never come across any bots, but it worries me if it is something that is growing and spreading through the English version of the game. Also, I like how SE will publish the names of accounts that have broken the RMT rules, by either selling or buying services with real money.

Out of a matter of interest, is it the NA servers that are currently infested with bots and spammers of RMT services? Also, as a player, is there anything other than using the "Report RMT" feature to help combat these accounts?

When you compare how Blizzard actively promotes it's e-store in the game, when compared to Square-Enix, it makes me want to support the company even more. I like how SE has not followed Blizzards (and even EA's) methods of getting more money out of it's player base.
