RMTs are starting to bother me...

ya hopefully they will ban then just before 2.0 by they they wont need their money that they pay a month.

Ban them for what reason? Farming gil? They will be banned when they will start selling (i.e. : violating the ToS). This isn't Minority Report and the STF isn't Pre-crime.

At best only botters could be banned now.

I'd rather like SE let RMT sell their gil, identify all gil buyers and then ban both. Buyers will be too disgusted to come back into the game (it's like tossing money out the window if you get banned right after paying for gil). RMTs? Who care they will always be back no matter how many time you ban them.

Hurting their customers is a way better approach than hurting RMTs.

Exactly. These sort of things have to be taken care of from the root. Just banning one of their gazillion accounts won't do anything.

I think that's the best method. Let them have their fun. Then when they start to sell, SE can trace them and shut down their business. At least for right now we can identify them for the GMs. Although I couldn't get ahold of a GM for this I was going to contact one because of the insane lag they were giving me in that general area. Hey, I'm trying to level there too, and I'm NOT going to that underground Aetheryte in the area near Bloodshore...that place is the pits, but I get insane performance increase there. It's just that the underground tunnel areas are too risky.
