Why do people jump to this conclusion. Every MMO, there's some wacky conspiracy that the developers are choosing to ignore bots, that destroy the game, and chase off paying customers... to make a few damned pennies? Like, seriously, in what world does that makes sense. If they wanted to make money from selling gil, they would just put "1 million gil for X$" right on the mog shop, and put those botters out of business.

But that is the realm of crappy P2W games. So no, they are actively fighting RMT, they are not in bed with the RMT, and anyone who thinks otherwise, needs to stay off the tinfoil hat sites.

A more serious, obvious problem is that at any point in time, I can do a "sprout search" anywhere in the game and see about 30 button mash names, all level 50 BLM's and one level 50 WHM. There's your RMT bots. It's always one group of 3 BLM's and 1 WHM, because that is the fastest way they can grind on the map. I just don't know where they are doing it, and you can catch them if you stand around the zone transition areas. Heck, the one I saw yesterday had a Guild that was 5 days old.
