How to handle/investigate RMT in FC?

[Chihaya]

Won't be able to get him banned or anything unless they are being stupid and admit it themselves in chat.

SE has a poor history of tracing RMT gil - random temp ban people that just had alot of gil and returning the account with 1/10 of what they had in terms of gil. While the true RMT buyers already spent all their gil.

I have hit the point where RMT no longer bothers me.

Since Defenders of Eorzea I have had about 5 friends join the game. 3 left after hitting 50 because without me to give them Gil they could not progress well.

I taught them how to play the market for cash. How to farm Tomes, & ended up having to buy them ilvl 70 HQ crafted weapons just so they could hit the ground running.

With how inflated prices are on servers I'm not surprised the RMT bots stay in business.
I feel more evil than them. Buying up Materia, rare mats, shards, & etc so I can resell them for quadruple the price.

Fact is. You can make millions without RMT. I try not to dwell on if others buy it or not.
Some folks don't have the time to craft/gather/scam the Marketboard.

Need gil simple... play the game:

Now consider this if a person saves their gil and only grab stuff they use/need that's basically ~1mil per month. So yes you can save up a lot of gil without run selling/crafting/gathering/etc...

True that. My gil consistently goes up just from playing the game. Do endgame content, earn gil reward for completing content as tank, earn soldiery, trade soldiery in for mats, sell mats on MB, profit! This process is just playing the game, I'm not doing anything extra. Granted I'm not the richest person on the server, but I'm not the poorest either. I've got enough gil to repair and buy the food I need for coil progression, even earned enough to deck myself out in full foragers gear for gathering -- purchased already pentamelded HQ pieces.
