700 accounts toasted, 300 billion in gil nuked, countermeasures introduced to prevent RMT. Good job SE. There are still RMT out there, but a bunch of the old ones are buried, and good f##king riddance.
In the War of SE vs. Gilsellers a mighty blow has been struck.
Some of those caught in the crossfires where people who didn't sell gil themselves, but where using the same credit cards, stand-alone or network PC, PS2, or LAN servers. Did these people help try to bring down the RMT .. nope. Did they know what was going on? A good chunk of them did, and have posted specific information on forums that idicates this. Do I feel pity for them .. nope. Knowing that SE was trying to shut down RMT operations, these people knew that the Gilsellers where being targeted. SE couldn't use laser guided missles to seperate friend from foe because they had fake addresses, used the same credit cards, same computers/servers, and no distinction could be made. So what did SE do? Dropped a nuke and obliterated them all. I take no pity for the casualties of this war. They knew the dangers they risked by being associated with RMT, and are now nothing but glowing husks of radiated waste.
If a RMT was on the same LAN as me, and I could locate the *******, oooooo they better watch out. I would stomp their teeth down their throats, get onto their accounts, and then report them to SE. Yes, I hate gilsellers that much.
Most people throw praise for SE's actions, and I am right their with them. Some people like Xellith and Afterglo want to whine and complain about SE. They believe that complaining about it can make a difference, but take no further action beyond b!tching. They are in the minority, and are the typical type of people who will find something to complain about when the end result is for the greater good.
