Gold Farming

[sasakusaku]

one good way to stop this would be for players to stop doing business with them...

If a game has gold (or gil in this case) as the primary currency then there will always be a demand. Especially in games where gold/gil is hard to accumulate like this game seems to. Sadly I know many people who have resorted to dealing with these RMT organizations in order to save much time. As said, other gaming devs have found ways to make their games undesirable to these farmers by regulating their currency themselves rather than leaving it open season...

Anyways, no matter what filters/mechanics you put in to combat spam...those spam bot operaters will find a way around it quickly.

The real question here is SE even interested in finding ways to deal with it? I mean most ported MMOs are almost always spam heavy and seems to be an accepted practice that some devs plain out right ignore. :\
