Why does Square-Enix not sell subs for gil?

Buyers actually do get caught and banned actually. Yet we still have people risking it. Name one MMO where RMT doesnt exist. Go on, name one for me.

really? any proof on that?

I mean it seriously... you dont hear of ANYONE being banned for buying gil. they need to do it aggressively, communicate it, advertise it even. you say they do, but I have never...ever.. heard of one person, banned for buying gil in this game...ever.

Genuine question, rather than a statement - but can they actually do that?

I mean, most MMOs have some sort of 'policy' (for lack of a better term) against naming and shaming. And whilst I guess they could possibly just issue a "XXX number of accounts banned due to illegal Gil purchases" type broadcast, would that have the same impact?

it might, especially since word of mouth also gets around. I doubt people would talk about it in game, but message boards and stuff, yeah, it would start getting around that SE was taking a firmer stance against buying. I mean, you do see some posts places from people saying they were banned. so, it happens, but not at the frequency it should be.
