Something I hadn't thought of before but sadly might be the case is that a lot of these people claiming to not have a problem are on the Euro data center. Could it be that RMT are targeting Americans specifically? This is just a theory mind you. It could be my server is full of gil buyers but I've run into this issue every time I've visited a non-locked server on the Aether Data center.

Also I don't get why some people think we shouldn't complain about something that detrimentally affects the game for us simply because it doesn't exist on their server. I've never seen the RMT as bad on any mmo in my entire life as here. I played a week of GW2 and it was so peaceful not getting any tells save for those by other players. The worst part is FFXIV is the game I love above all others. This game rocks in so many ways. While I've thought of transferring off server, I got friends and family here. I even saved my duckets for months so I could get a house. It's not fair I should have to give all that up to enjoy the game without spam. I don't blame Squeenix because they didn't invent nor fund the gilsellers, but I implore them to look into options like account wide blacklists or character deletion restrictions to make this world the best it can be.
