They are like ants, no matter how many you step on, more come out of the ant hole. Even if you crush the ant hole, they merely surface through a new hole.

I feel the solution is targeting and tracking down the buyers of gil in order to instil fear in people who would consider buying.

And this game really does need more /tell filters. I'm often in FFXIV trying to relax from a day of dealing with stupidity and I get tells from Chinese capitalists at least 5 times an hour all day every day. So I put /busy and /busy usually stays up... this sucks because I feel like I've become more distant from my friends who I used to have /tell conversations with and it makes me feel distant from the community as a whole =/
