Crafting and Marketboard botting

[Espritduo]

You expect SE to control people that are impulsive to change their ways? You expect SE to expend resources attempting to root out every case of gil buying? As I said above this will never end. I have been playing mmos since their inception and RMT has been a part of every single game. This will not change.

Unlike the bots, you don't need to root out ever single player who buys gil, not even a large fraction of them. All you need to do is put SOME effort into getting SOME of them and most of the rest will realize it's too risky now to buy gil and will decide not to do it. It's the same as real life. You don't catch every criminal who ever commits a crime, but as long as you make a show of catching some of them, the rest of the populace tends to behave themselves that much better. People buy gil not because they just can't control themselves and have to break the rules, they do it because they know they won't get caught.

They do get caught. There are RMT reports that indicate accounts banned. There is your proof of effort. Happy? I know you won't be. You want to beat a worthless old dead horse as long as you can. I say go for it. I am bored.
