I'd much rather institute a system that directly benefited GMs and Dev's for the efforts than those who actions directly retard the actual playing of the game.
If you think you can do better, feel free to PM me with your comprehensive and effective strategies for combatting RMT. I'd love to know when/where you became an expert on the subject, and how we can integrate your plans into our current system.

I had a margin of error of less than 5%. If you include accounts that were banned immediately after the inital wave, my margin of error drops into the negatives.

Are you even reading my posts? We've already been over this. The actions of previous CSR staff should not reflect upon the current staff's actions, priorities, or rulings. These people haven't been on staff in years, and yet somehow they are still corrupting the box and compromising it's integrity. Makes sense.

No, the leadership of prominent guilds is not most often at the core of RMT operations. The only RMT operations we've proven so far to be aided/ran by a guild leader was Nizzarr, and he was small time compared to the bigger fish.

Yes, it is the same people who return the next day and attempt to start over. As I stated before, they are barely scraping by at this time. I love how people think there is some magic "ban this player forever!" button that can keep someone from connecting for the rest of their lives. The actual RMT sellers on this server go to great lengths to mask their identities, and while I'm able to see through that with careful scrutiny, there is no way to just permanently remove someone from this server, or any server, without restricting access to a larger group of players.

tl;dr I appreciate your thoughts and criticism, but you really have no idea what you are talking about.
