Time to address the real problem - RMT buyers

[Renalt]

he doesnt need to "impose restrictions" he needs to have a competent team, not the STF since they have proven they cant do anything meaningful, and they need to start account actions on BUYERS.

screw the botting, if the market dries up the bot problem will sort itself out. all they are doing now, is going after the symptom, not the cause.

ban the people who buy gil. period. stop dinking around with the low hanging fruit. they own the servers, they own the data, they have zero excuse NOT to be able to do this. they can track the money, and if you start giving a vacation to real people, and then ban them for a second offense, that sends a better message than banning thousands and thousands of throw away accounts.

Actually now that I think about it...maybe put a fear tactic in. Have people in the guise of a Gil seller and if those people try to put gold...to the GM Jail for you and be like "This is your only warning". Word spreads, people can't tell if a real RMT or if a GM anymore, and they stop risking their accounts to buy gil.

I'd say that is worth testing for a month or so.

That wouldn't really work because most gil sellers just spam links to external websites, you aren't buying or interacting with the spammer.
