It reminds me back in FFXI...It was probably around 2006 or 2007 time frame....The RMT operations ramped up heavily, seemingly out of no where. Bots started to show up everywhere, every NM was being camped by gil sellers, they even began to challenge legit HNM LS's at camps...Mobs like tiamaat for example. If they lost claim on the mob to a legit guild, they would train hordes of mobs onto you and wipe your group to steal claim. Auction hosue inflation went completely nuts, Items that maybe were 700k climbed to over 10 million gil. It was the worst flood of RMT I ever seen happen in an MMO. I remember players got really frustrated. Finally, SE announced they would put in place a new "Special task force" to deal with the RMT problem, and they began systematically taking these people down. They issued regular reports, just like they do now, detailing the number of people banned etc. After a few months of this everything returned to normal, the auction house market corrected back to normal, and everything was good again. Does anyone from FFXI remember this time?
