SE does not care that RMT ruin their game?

[Haibel]

I've just turn off the /tell option what are these rmt /tell you speak of. Most my chatting is FC/LS if I really need to /t someone Ill turn it on then other than that it mostly off.

Even with it filtered you would still be able to sent tells, you just wouldn't see they replys till you turned it back on. This is kinda of a round about way of doing it, just kinda of inconveniences you. but that's your choice
and I'm ok with that.

They will never get rid of RMT, only manage it. I just think they're still trying to figure out the best way to do it, on top of working on everything else. It's never as simple as banning on the spot.

I have a character on Aegis that I had back when the NA servers were unavailable at launch. Now I rarely go over to it anymore but for grins I decided to login and leave myself on all day afk to see. Usually if I stand in town or anywhere for that matter too long the tells start coming. Not a single tell!!! Not so much as anything from anyone. Is something different on NA servers vs JP Servers with the community? Do we have players buying so much gil it's profitable to only spam the NA servers? I can't really answer that but not getting any tells in a day does surprise me very much.

Basing it off one server is hardly credible but I don't have all the facts either. I know it's pretty bad on Diabolos and I've heard it is on others as well. This morning I started seeing them spamming in Gridania with /shouts again.

What do you expect when the game is sold heavily discounted with a free month of game time.

This has little to no connection to the problem being discussed whatsoever.

These "gill sellers" probably by dozens or more of accounts when the game is in sale.

RMT is huge business and there may be some amongst us arguing against preventive measures.

^ this! I'm ashamed to admit I didn't think of that. /looks around You're all suspect!

RMT affects every game that is popular enough to get people to buy their gil. You can't ever completely get rid of it, just mitigate it best you can. SE does thorough investigations from the reports they receive from the spammers and try to trace back any shifty gil transfers so that they can ban as many of they can. As posted in an earlier screenshot, they're banning people on a weekly basis.
