whats up with the rmt all the sudden?

[Tupsi]

Basically since the Chinese launch of ARR (surprise surprise).

RMT is actually more American than it is Chinese. 'Farmers' may be Chinese, but operations tend to be based in the US or Europe.

(Surprise, Surprise.)

Never had this issue in other games or before.

Because most other MMOs they have bots sitting in the main city(ies) spamming their website at a thousand miles per hour and don't bother to even send whispers because chances are you won't even see it compared to the main chat spam.

Not sure what SE can really do to stop RMT. My last MMO just IP banned China entirely and that took care of all RMT.

I don't think SE will go to those extremes.

They would if they need to - With XI they IP blocked some Korean and Chinese ISPs due to the DDoS attacks.
