I agree with most of what you said, except this. It would at least show to the community that they actually do read our reports and act on them. The way they have reports set up, there's no transparency whatsoever. For all we know those reports go right into a trash bin somewhere. While I realize they can't tell us results due to privacy concerns, they could at least let us know someone has reviewed it. (I'm talking off the website, which is the only place you can report RMT and botting activity.)

Otherwise, yes, this will continue in some fashion until SE finally realizes this is not sustainable and takes another route to player housing.
