RMT need to die. They need to be eradicated. The fact that such worthless "people" exist on this planet disgusts me.

To anyone who buys gil: YOU ARE FUNDING THESE VERMIN! If there was no market, these filth wouldn't be infesting us.

Well this sounds just too harsh, afterall those are still real peoples who needs to do something for living. Also as you said those that buys in-game currencies are the ones i would blame too, because goldselling wouldnt exist if there were no buyers in firstplace.

Why? There's mercenaries and killers for hire that do what they need to do because they need to do something for a living. There's people who steal, mug, and do much worse to make money. Why is it okay for a criminal to perform criminal acts to make money on the grounds of "They're just trying to make a living." My family used to be very poor. My family isn't poor now. You know why? Hard work. At anytime we could have done it the easy way (criminal activity) but because we have strong morals we never even considered it. They are vermin and I would not care if something bad happened to them. If anything I might celebrate. SE is pursuing legal action. I hope there's jail time and I hope their time in prison is rather unpleasant to say the least.

The people pulling the strings are the bad people. However, many RMT people farm gil in "legit" ways (as in, not hacking others or botting) in sweatshops, they don't really have a choice, life in those areas is completely different than what we are used to. Those goldfarmers are victims, just not in the same way as other players.

No. They're just as guilty as the ones pulling the strings. Sorry but joining up with an employer that has you committing crimes does not omit you from said crimes. Selling any gil helps ruin the reputation of the company you're playing the game for. It's vandalism. They're costing the company money. All rights to an mmo belong to the company running said mmo. Selling rights that they do not have is stealing. There's other ways to find work and make money. Hate to say it but we have illegals here who work under privileged and underpaid who actually contribute to society by working at job's that are meaningful (I.E. Construction.)

stop using those bot programs.

Does anyone else find it amusing that the RMT's are now having to go THIS FAR in order to make money in this game? I like to see it as progress on SE's part. The RMT's are stooping to new lows in order to keep the funds rolling in. Something this blatantly obvious is bound to get attention and the rollback will make everything the way it was before. They shouldn't have been so careless attacking everyone at once. I just hope that SE is able to grab the mass amount of gil from them before it gets sold to the low-life's that buy it.

It's also fairly well certain that this attack - which is what it is - is sufficiently illegal to involve law enforcement from several jurisdictions. Basically, this was a colossally stupid move by the RMTs since it will almost certainly allow SE to justify far wider ranging actions against RMT than before.

The RMT are most likely in china. Meaning there is absolutely nothing that can be done legally to them.

It's not just RMTs you have to worry about. There are a group of "players" that pretty much exist only to find exploits and disrupt games. A simple Google search will find dozens of sites dedicated to Botting and Exploits. And having a single account banned doesn't really bother them, as most of them have multiple accounts. Their only goal is to be the "best" at whatever game they happen to have set their adolescent minds on. If being the "best" means ruining it for everyone else, that is exactly what they'll do. And, like most nascent criminals, they see nothing wrong in what they do.

Don't you think if these "Group of player's" didn't exist the game would be in worse place than it is now??

Just a thought.
