Yep. Go make a character on a JP server. Then search for level 50 BLMs. You will see the same army of "Sasfdsg Kldsalld" type names just like on any NA server. The people that say that it is not an issue on the JP servers are simply wrong. That being said, what bothers me most about RMT, is that they deter new players that are trying this game from taking it serious or subscribing. No other subscription based MMO has this level of spam. I know friends who have came out of their initial cut scene to a wall of spam from RMT. Not good. This game, like any MMO, needs new players coming in.
