This is why I don't understand why SE isn't being aggressive about cheating. They don't stand to lose money. They built the entire game to crazily combat cheating and RMT...and then the STF is nowhere to be seen the first year of the game's life.

Doesn't make any sense to me at all why they would torpedo the game with anti-cheating and anti-rmt countermeasures that end up making the game unfun for everyone...and then allow people to cheat all the un-fun content they built to prevent cheating.
