Formal Letter to SE about RMT situation.

Signed. Why can't we be like the jp servers? they get 0 RMT tell spam and afaik no bots running around

Because they're smart enough to know that if they bother the japanese player base the developers WILL actually do something about it.

We do have bots over here in the JP servers, mostly THM and ARC bots who teleport around and stack in one place killing low level mobs.

And the japanese do engage in RMT but they do so very discreetly - they buy their RMT/gil thru jp yahoo auctions and the like.

RMT employees will go wherever they make the most money. Tired of seeing RMT spam? Blame the people who buy gil. If you buy it you're part of the problem so don't bother complaining.

As long as there are more RMT employees buying copies of the game and subscribing than there are people leaving due to RMT, why would SE do anything about this? The exact same problem was huge in FFXI and it was the sole reason I stopped playing. But there apparently were a lot of people willing to keep the game going despite the gil sellers.

Now the FFXI gil buyers, plus those from other games of course, are in FFXIV, and apparently there are enough of them still buying gil that the RMT people are willing to keep buying copies of FFXIV with or without legal payment methods.

Stop expecting SE to do anything about the RMT problem. It's not going to happen and you should've realized that by now. If you really want RMT to go away, stop buying gil and discourage your friends from buying it.
