So Devs...Are we going to rule with an iron fist this time around?

Some pretty good points but I like to point out a few things. I am not sure how effective the task force was nor in retrospect do i care for a report. But we were blind to what they did do. They might have been burning the candle at both ends or might have busted out the ye ol' cot hidden from security camera. But it all comes down to ability and man power.

How much power you give an admin, the checks and balances of these powers, legal stipulations, social interactions, etc. So say you got all these done right for a blanket statement. So the check for balance is for rep to push up to the manager. So eventually the manager gets swamped and now need more clarification if that is a goose chase so he can fix things that are immediate, fixable, and not a judgement call while dealing with other duties. Problems like this arise in any management system where your service will always out number the number of staff available, trained, and willing to do customer service.

Now there are methods that can cut of RMTs at the knees. For instance no direct trading of gil period or a delay in auction house transactions where the gil is held for a bit for review if the price is absorbent. This are all quite unfair and not very user friendly. Just like airport security the easier they are on everyone the more detailed, evasive, and flawed the system has to be to hopefully catch a problem.

And then on the design portion, removing the actual need for the base currency for the bigger items with use of non trade-able currency makes it useless pass a certain point which would make economies flip, hard with inflation for everything. Which is almost like walking the less frugal to RMTs to some extent.

I think the best that we can hope for is the devs to build in a simple but expansive monitoring system into the environment so admins can gather proof for or against easily and quickly. The iron fist isn't needed if they can catch them 90% of the time because they will screw up again if they did it once and give themselves a perm ban.

Yeah... In 2.0 when I report let's say... "Blablora Mouse" for botting for the 18 millionth time maybe they will actual investigate.

Clearly you all want the RMT/Botters banned, so that you can yourselves waltz in and bot/RMT uncontested!!

"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a bot is a good guy with a bot"

SE must improve its mental health facilities in order to stop this rmt nonsense! We must invest in our FFXI and WoW veterans lest they fall into poverty, and Powerleveling and eating mithkabobs willy nilly!/sarcasm
