Every time someone mentions that the Japanese servers don't have these problems, I cry deep inside and another piece of my soul withers away into nothing.

NA gamers need to pay to win every chance they get so the issues of RMT are out of control here. We have rampaging pay-to-win players on the NA servers causing gil sellers to flock to us by the swarms cuz the profit to be made here is that big for them.

The real solution is to find out who is buying gil, report them and hope SE perma bans them cuz I don't want to play with people like that anymore. And please don't get mad at me for saying this but people who are selling content are giving gil a LOT more buying power which gives a significant incentive for pay to win players to buy gil from RMT... I'm sorry to say this =/
