It is used by more than just RMT... but of course, it's hard to see that since RMT are newsworthy, and new players aren't.Volkai | Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265718882213229366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974394344589944161.post-13378118849230774242009-08-04T13:37:22.305-07:002009-08-04T13:37:22.305-07:00mtg2k: I'm not sure I understand what the pro...mtg2k: I'm not sure I understand what the problem was that Square-Enix had with your download (not doubting you, just unclear on what you said it _was_), but it's clear to me that literally hundreds of thousands of trial accounts have been used to uphold a massive RMT operation which has grossly inflated pretty much everything about Final Fantasy XI.<br /><br />I just question how many (more like how _few_) legitimate players, especially outside of Japan, have been brought in with this program.<br /><br />---<br /><br />eldelphia: This is why, IMHO, you have to get rid of the free trial system.<br /><br />I explained how I see them working, and it depends on a system which allows a massive amount of characters to be flushed through the system for free. Make them even pay for the program for each account ID (at the very least), and the RMT system cannot be upheld.<br /><br />Oh, and if you read the TTTO, you'll see several people who are pissed off at the gardening nerf. I do have to wonder about the legitimacy (in any respect, not just the specific player involved) of <i>fifteen</i> mules.Starcadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226367306835781483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974394344589944161.post-89576241950502520502009-08-04T07:14:06.870-07:002009-08-04T07:14:06.870-07:00RMT spam is bugging the crap out of me but I can&#...RMT spam is bugging the crap out of me but I can't see how you can prevent it...
