I concede that this RMT problem is very annoying, but I would like to see more threads addressing the dregs that provide a market to these RMTs, namely the buyers. Without them, these relentless opportunists wouldn't exist.

A little well-deserved shaming goes a long way; I have played MMORPGs where each week players who have been banned and the reason for that ban are posted on the game's website. At present, SE provides anonymous listings and the temporary "slap on the wrist" ban for these short-cutters.

Further it is my opinion that if you are desperate and idiotic enough to pay $30 for 10000 gil, you deserve a "scarlet letter".
