Even though it isn't instantaneous or clearly visible to us, I'm pretty sure SE is taking action against the botters and RMTers and they're doing it in a way that isn't going to royally fuck up the game.

Anyway, how will temporarily locking the market board actually solve anything? Whats to stop RMTers from coming back once they unlock it?
The fact that you play an MMO exclusively for the market is just wierd but if that's your thing...have fun. I'd recommend trying Ebay, personally.

Players with that priority are such a freaking small minority that I don't see how anyone could take that into consideration when making decisions regarding the good of the whole player base. I'm sure they are working on it and they've made progress but this would only be a temporary method of alleviating the RMT problem until then.

And your last question wasn't even necessary. In my original post i said "until they solve the problem...they should LOCK the Market". Meaning that once the problem is solved and the market is unlocked...so there would be no issue with the RMTs coming back afterwards. <.<
