Well, SE could also up the punishment for buying gil. Currently it's like..a 3 day ban and they take all your gil away. Unless you'd already spent it all buying a clear or something.
Not really much of a deterrent to players is it?
I'd rather see way more people buy gil and then do a chargeback after it's been delivered, lol. Except the RMTs will already have your CC number and be making purchases with it, and they might even report you to SE themselves for buying if you steal from them. Yeah, the status quo on combating RMT is really just trying keep it from getting worse than it currently is, not actually improving the situation T.T

I agree the game shutting down is the only way to 100% stop it, but there's still many avenues of improvement
