RMT Enforcement - Something Interesting is happeneing

[XiXiQ]

The thing I noticed on Tonberry was no gil shouters/tellers at all. Since they brought in the report feature, suddenly there is one at the main aetheryte and one at the MB of every capital babbling constantly. They get reported and certainly don't last long. This is pretty classic honeypotting from the RMT lot, they want to see how long a bot will last, if there's a timetable for clearing out based on reports, and if SE is seriously coming down on them. They will also want to know how many of their bots are getting caught up by association. The war of escalation continues.

I've never gotten RMT tells on Tonberry before or after their changes to the report system. And the RMT bot spamming /say in capital cities existed way before the report system change.

On NA servers, RMT sellers are using party invites to advertise instead. On Tonberry, I have yet to receive a single random invite from a RMT advertiser. We just are not on their radar likely because we are technically a JP server.
