Watch where the gil goes and track all the accounts it flows through for one month and SE can wipe out the bots, the gil banks and those people that buy the gil as well. All in one go. Take out the gil buyers and the gil sellers will leave because with no customers its a waste of time. In the meantime we all have to put up with the annoyance of it.
agreed, the botting continues because there is a market for it. The secret is to get rid of the buyers, you'd think the risk of getting you account hacked would be a deterrence, but apparently, people are still buying.
