    Not necessarily. They don't need to have the product to advertise it.

    A lot of what they do is hacking. There's a reason they spam these links. A player clicks on one, or types it into their browser. Maybe they're just curious about prices. Maybe they're actually considering buying gil. They visit the site.

    At this point the damage is done. They've just initiated malware install on their system. Next time they login a keylogger has recorded their information. They're now hacked. The RMT takes control of their account, strips it of gil, sells what it can, uses it for more spam. Like the malware the user installed, it perpetuates itself.

    They will always have gil because there's always someone stupid enough to go to the sites.

    The only way to ever end RMT, and I do mean the only way, is to end the demand for gil. If there's no market to sell to, there will be no sellers. Just. Stop. Buying. That is the only way to end it.
