Cloned players with weird names?

[Rytoast]

Hello, all!

I was levequesting in La Noscea, and a few times already I've seen groups of cloned players, where all of them had exactly the same looks and equipment, not moving, with weird names like "rntgpt nngff" and whatnot. There will always be one different-looking character running from the group to an area spawning groups of enemies, then running back to the cloned group. What are they doing?

I apologize, but I'm quite a noob at the game. But I'm pretty sure they're doing more than just "playing the game", and I have no idea what "rmt" means. Could you please be more helpful, or refrain from commenting?

RMT stands for real-money traders. These people grind to gain tons of Gil, so that they can then sell the Gil for real money.

Thank you very much for your reply, Bowen. Is there anything I should do if I see them again? Or should I just ignore them?

Report them if you can. SE does try to ban these guys, but they just keep coming back.

It's quite common, these guys are ''cheater'' if I can say, I don't know exactly what they do, something about farming stuff and gil, you need to report them, that's all I know.

And thanks for the previous people for their nice and interesting response to this thread, really...

Thanks. They've been hanging out @ Cedarwood on the Ragnarok server for the past three days.
