On the other hand, both CCP and En Masse have been more successful in combating RMT that Square Enix has ever been. So yes. they do know better. Results don't lie.

So yeah. SE has everything to gain from taking a page from the book of those that managed better.

In what way was XI a "Failure", and what evidence do you have that CCP and En Masse have been successful at all, much less more successful in combating RMT? If you have some kind of report suggesting this system is in any way effective by all means link it up.
