Time to address the real problem - RMT buyers

[Deveryn]

You can spend a lot of gil in housing, and the people involved with RMT typically have multiple houses as the system basically not only encourages RMT, but rewards it.

I doubt it's just housing, as that's so hard to get. Crafted gear tends to be on the expensive side and people would likely rather spend the money than try to find someone who could help them out.

Newer players are likely ignorant to the fact that they can earn a lot of gil just from regular play, so they're more likely to fall for these traps. An effort could be made to educate people, but folks would rather bitch about stuff and yell "small indie company" when something doesn't go their way.
