And then it turns out SE is bribed to let the RMT activities actually continue, and the suspensions/bans we see are either for show or only really affect the players who are caught buying. Sound conspiracy-ish enough for you? Because I wouldn't be terribly surprised if that DID become the case. <_<

Please don't push this kind of nonsense. This kind of idea is floated every time a MMO of any sorts doesn't do enough to combat RMT. Like if you actually check some of the RMT sites, you'll see that they have "200m" or something on every server. That amount is consistent with the number of bots I see (sometimes up to 100 in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald alone, and another 100 in New Gridania) at 1 million a piece, assuming that's what they get with their MSQ quest rewards and levequests. Those 100 are never standing in one place for very long, but the search system lets you see which ones are online. To get all of them requires camping the Waking Sands for a few hours when they pass through level 25.

As I've stated before, SE could kill all of the bots by putting checks in the Waking Sands, because they all enter with only NPC-given gear. The same gear. A player who is playing the game without any beforehand knowledge of the game would likely not do this, as there is better gear they can buy and various levels that would make them distinct from the bots. To that point the bots only use CNJ and THM to get through content, so all they have to do is check for parties of that configuration that are all the same level. The bots still all stand on top of each other, still have buttonmash names, and if SE wanted absolute proof they're bots, they could look at the elevation and see that the bots are always below the actual ground coordinates for the map location they're at. The zone instance clearly doesn't check the elevation coordinate in the 2.x zones before allowing combat or NPC interaction.

The FC chests are where the bots stand behind, and you can see their FC tag stick out if you stand in the fountain outside the GC.
