Necessity of RMT prevention

... and you cant tell me some "legit player" is going to pay 5 million gil for a level 20 bracelet that normally sells for 1200....

That's essentially the only way to move gil between alts. Otherwise they need to be in the same guild with gil withdrawal privileges. Not the easiest thing to accomplish and impossible to do if they're homed on different worlds in the DC.

then a legit player, moving gil between alts has a reason for it dont they? and in that case, are safe. any kind of investigation into it will see that the buyer, is not doing that with multiple people.

the whole myth that "legit players will suffer' does nothing but enable RMT to continue. I have yet to see any numbers that support that position about legit players suffering, in any game, where that is brought up.

After the rash of RP bannings? I have no confidence in their desire or ability to fairly investigate these matters and I don't have the benefit of the GDPR so that I can review the data and conclusions for errors.

again, points to their desire to do... nothing.

the rash of RP bannings was VERY loosely based on the ToS etc.. but RMT is specifically a no no. and yet it goes on without fear of consequence it seems.

and yeah, they proudly post what they have done about it, but never post what regions those are from. do I think they are doing "something" of course I do. they pick off the low hanging fruit, the city RMT barkers, which isnt really much of an accomplishment or action. I imagine even the poor GM's can do that task. but if I had to guess what the STF does? my guess would be they dont venture much into issues outside of Japan....
