RMT Imitating Legit Players with Names

[Reinheart]

That's crazy...

RMT will continue because we got idiots like this one - http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...suspended_t_t/

SE shouldn't be easy on gil buyers, should be instant perma ban.

And here I was under the impression that the general populace would "Just say NO".

That's prime facepalm material right there. One person buying gil from RMTs just perpetuate these annoyances we're all having at the moment. Just -seeing- them is groan-worthy.

So they're impersonating people now? That's peculiar, cause it makes it seem as though they're putting in effort to name their RMT/Bot accounts. How annoying.

I spent 30 minutes yesterday just trying to MPK a bot outside of Gridania just out of spite. The placement is too smart though, thwarts any notion of danger. That bot's probably -still- there outside of Blue Badger Gate, shooting level 1 monsters with her bow. And she even has a lore-like name for her character.

Boy. SE has their hands full with this one.

I'd say suspension for doing it once, ban for doing it again. As hard as it may be to believe, there are people out there who don't actually know it's wrong. Or maybe they do and give in anyways, and make the mistake of buying.

Yeah I understand there are those that don't know it's wrong.

Alright, suspension for the first time but same time remove the entire gil from that player and that players retainers as that RMT money is going to screw the economy even if it's little. Also if they can track what was purchased right after with that gil, that item should be returned to that seller and money removed from that seller (which will suck for that seller, but he/she will have the item returned and can sell again).

I expect at least that much done if it's going to be through first time suspension.

RMT are spamming in Mor Dhona now?

I guess they should rename the town

To Revenant's Troll

This name applied the day people starting shouting for relic+1 to go to a level 50 story dungeon.

It's peoples' own fault for not reading the TOS. If you're caught buying gil you should be permabanned, end of story.

It's peoples' own fault for not reading up on laws. If you're caught handling counterfeit money you should be executed, end of story.

That's basically what you're saying after all. Somebody breaks the TOS once and you're all "MAXIMUM PUNISHMENT TO THE EXTREEEEEEEME!". Or ya know, they could suspend them, and warn them never to do it again.

Except that is no where near the same thing, yes killing someone is the same as a perma ban on a video game.

Aside from the fact that it's exactly the same thing, yeah. Both cases involve dealing with illegal money, both cases are met with the absolute maximum punishment.

I know you seem to think that people who buy gil are a "plague" that need to be wiped off the face of the planet, but you're wrong, sorry. Is it bad? Yes. Should 1st time offenders be met with the harshest punishment available? Ummm no. I can only hope that you use a swear word sometime (against the TOS) and get perma banned for it.
