The poor RMT's...

Please, quote any case in which any person has been sued or placed in jail for buying or selling virtual currency.

Virtual currency and virtual currency platforms can be protected by trademark, copyright, and patent. In fact it's even patented in the US: U.S. patent No. 7,076,445.

Zynga has actively taken ppl to court over it. Do the rest of the research yourself since you are so interested.

You guys have to remember that just because there is a EULA doesn't mean that it's binding in all countries. Most actually don't give a crap about virtual currency in a virtual game owned by a company that they don't get tax revenue from.

That being said, I hope Square-Enix can push whatever buttons they need to stop RMT in their games. It's always good to see a company actively figthing RMT. Especially when you are in game and it doesn't appear that SE is doing enough. So a screen shot from a gold seller saying that they are having trouble is very positive in my eyes.
