Bot's and SE's responce

[Zakalwe]

Hmm... Maybe the reason SE goes so slowly and concentrates so much on finding the larger connections in the RMT web is that they are trying to target the gil buyer even more than the RMT organizations. There's a certain logic in this. The biggest cheats of all in the RMT world are those who buy gil. There would be no purpose in running an RMT operation in the game if there was no economic viability for their products. Think of it this way. If you nuke most of the gil buyers the whole RMT chain falls apart. But if you nuke just the RMT characters as they appear, leaving the larger web undiscovered and the buyers mostly untouched, new RMT characters simply appear the next day phoenix-like from their ashes.

However, long delays in the periodic wielding of the ban hammer runs the risk of so seriously damaging the game's economy as bots run rampant, massive gil sales build up, and RMT barkers endless hawk their wares that it could be akin to burning down the village to save it.

Hello,

We have a firm understanding of the current RMT (real money traders)/cheating situation, and while we are working to implement countermeasures, it is true that we are sometimes reacting one step behind. While we cannot announce specifics of what we have planned, I do want to let you know that the development team and the Special Task Force (STF) are working closely together to implement measures to catch cheaters. We were able to catch some large scale RMT groups due to this.

Also, because it's the RMT and cheaters who strike first, the operations team can usually be thought of as reacting one step behind. However, as players have been saying, we agree that we should be finding and patching these holes from the start.

However, we will always be investigating, tracking down cheaters, and punishing them.

While we do not respond to your RMT reports, all of the information we receive is reviewed by the development team and STF and everyone on the team is extremely appreciative of your efforts. We apologize for the frustrations and inconveniences caused by the RMT and cheaters, and we will be working hard to catch them.

We appreciate your information about RMT you encounter on the forum, but please make sure not to include the URLs and specific cheating methods in your post. We ask that you please incude them in your reports instead.
