For the last several years, the Mabinogi team has been working on combating the effects of third parties using illicit methods to farm and then sell gold and/or items to players, which severely damages in-game economies and hurts players that earn their currency through legitimate means.
In addition to taking action against these third party sellers, going forward, we will be expanding our enforcement efforts to include players that take advantage of these farmers. Please do not engage in any type of business with gold farmers, which is against our Terms of Use. Players who are found to have received large quantities of illicitly gained gold and/or items from farmers will be subject to sanctions, including removal of the delivered gold, items, and additional action taken against the account.
Thank you,

It's funny how right after being posted, a bunch of people come out of the woodwork to oppose it.
It's just like when you want to get swarmed by angry wasps, you just have to kick the tree the hive is on to piss them off. Honestly, Nexon should start jotting down names here and start looking into things, and keep to their own words. Because honestly, an announcement will only do so much, and the people who conduct said RWT will start propping up out of nowhere to SUDDENLY post on a forum they never post on, or spam on the discord when they have no previous activity in doing so.
I honestly suggest looking at the alexina/nao facebook pages, which are riddled with 3rd party Real world trade, maybe do something about that for once. The people you want to stop from conducting RWT are all out in the open here, they literally cry for attention, and will always, ALWAYS try to justify what they do by skirting around their words.
I lived through the dark ages of mabinogi where you were banned because of tainted gold or you unknowingly purchased a duped item. They banned innocent and guilty back then. So when I see a post such as this it hones some deep resentment on their indifferent tactics in the past. I was rightly concerned.
However since Katherz has provided some clarification, I can back down from this issue. I rather not be be worked up over these issues anyway. But you...you can keep your witch hunts to yourself.
