Time to address the real problem - RMT buyers

[Shibi]

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...

I'm rather surprised that they didn't do this first. With a few roaming world-appearing GMs here and there to tackle the problem, jumping world to world in places like Eureka, with public executions, the problem should have been lessened. Less people will buy if there is a stronger chance a GM might appear right next to them and Akh-morn them into the seven hells.

The STF have been forever and continually useless, and the GMs answering our in game tickets have for far too long done a schultz-like "I know nothing, nothing" when it comes to reporting RMT. SE has always given the impression that they are just too busy, and too cheap, to deal with the problem.

They still need to seriously step up the number of staff dealing with this, and they need to make it international, and not just for their home market.

the problem is.. the GM's are PROHIBITED from doing that. the entire existence of the STF is to deal with that. and only a moron would think 4 people can do that for ALL of SE's servers, yet thats the expectation. I am sure the GM's would love the ability to do something, but likely busy with player issues. I wouldnt be surprised if the GM's are not even able to pass things over to the STF.

the STF is honestly god given useless. I dont know if they send people there that have a few months left before retirement or what, but they are VERY overpaid for what they seem to actually accomplish. it needs to be a bigger team to be more effective for anything. right now it appears to just be cronies collecting a paycheque
