Let players sell gil to eachother via a SE token, or let items on the Mog Station sell to other players for gil, and..mark my words...outside RMT will die a horrible, painful death.
Well, 2 things:
1- I didn't started that thread to impact gil buyers directly. My intention is to make you guys think more about the problem (minimal) and discuss it within yours FCs (ideal). Some future starts slow...

2- I don't think this will solve the problem. I've played a game named "Dofus" that allowed players to buy a token-like currency from the official site which is possible to buy itens, inside game money and even subscription time. But the bots stills there! At least, for that game, didn't solved and improved the profits of the bots owners, 'cause the token can be bought inside the game using game money as well.

If people never buy any gil by illegal means, we would see a fast decreasing number of bots.

in my opinion, we have to attack the way they profit: decreasing the number of gil buyers. To do that, we need to talk more about it. We need to make discussions about it more often inside FC chats, linkshells and reporting assumed gil buyers (believe me, they will tell you what they do).

It's kinda like a tiny ant work, but we have to do our part and not be waiting forever for SE to solve the problem from the wake of the next sunrise. It's a difficult and complex issue that all of us can do something to help. Even if it doesn't revolution the 0,1% of a chocobo feather, even then, I want to try to do something rather than do nothing!
