But nope. I'm not even sure I got a single tell in the last month. Why ? because they have no market on my server.


You want to blame someone for the RMT feast ? BLAME THE STUPID PLAYERS. You live on a server where they have clients. Your loss.

and seriously, can you name even ONE (not dying) successful MMO where RMTs aren't selling ? They are always here, because people always buy their gold. Even in a game where gold is as insignificant as in FFxiv. No matter what the companies did to make the spam stop, the RMT were able to bypass it
Yes, RMT will always be where there is a market. But that's absolutely no reason to simply give up and stop trying to prevent them.

On the heavy spam servers, the tell system is either getting placed in different tab (to be ignored), or players are simply placing themselves in busy status to avoid the spam. It's unacceptable that there are no preventive measures taken to avoid this problem. Not only that, but farming bots seem to roam free for multiple weeks, despite being reported (which fuels the whole RMT machine).

Yes, The buyers are to blame for creating a market for gil selling in the first place. But they're also the hardest targets to hit. A bot that creates multiple accounts to spam send hundreds of tells is easy to spot. A bot that is in one area for 16 hours constantly killing the same group of enemies, not responding to anything else, is easy to spot and ban.

So why aren't they getting taken care of quickly?
