Losing the RMT spam war SE?

[tocsin]

Firstly, good job stating exactly what everyone in this thread already knows. Secondly yes, sifting through 500 spam tells to see if I MIGHT have gotten a legit one is a great idea.

sorry, based on the immediate responses, it looked like a lot of people DIDNT realize what "the players" meant, and took it personally. it happens.

Second of all, gil buying wont stop with only temp banning the gil buyers. most of the people that I suspect have bought gil, have been new players, that legitimately didn't know any better. they got these tells, thought they were legit, and thought they would get a head start via rmt.

SE also needs to do a MUCH better job of educating new players about this. right now, they don't.

Now, my opinion...

Shards are at a 3 month low, due to increased RMT activity. My profit margins for making my own gil, are at 3 month highs as a result. I'm happy with the way things are.
