September was another busy month as companies besides CCP made headlines with their efforts against the illicit RMT trade. Square Enix, the maker of Final Fantasy XIV, seized 367 billion gil, worth between $2.5 and $4.2 million, in a three-week operation in the second half of the month. Jagex, the makers of Runescape, acknowledged that banning 1.1 million accounts in 2013 was not enough and instituted Bonds, a PLEX-type instrument. While Jagex claimed Bonds have nearly eradicated gold farming, I'm withholding judgement until more data is available.
