Oh lawd. How nice it would be if they cared about Final Fantasy XI still (in any relevant way). Can you imagine if they hard-core enforeced cheating and RMT with anyone that ever cheated or bought gil having a watermark on their character. It would be such a nice way to laugh at people with more REMA than anyone could have acquired by legit means (back in the day; now anyone can fall hand-over-fist into gil if they actually try).
