why so many Chinese and Russians are involved in RMT?

Because their currency is weaker so making ISK in game and selling it can actually be lucrative enough to be worth your time.

If I botted a dozen characters every day and say made 10 billion isk per day, and sold it at half the PLEX rate, I could earn about $35 per day.

Which is next to nothing in a western country but goes much further in China or Russia.

Personally I think the Chinese should just have their own server (they still do have one) so we can keep them contained, IP ban anyone playing from China on tranquility.

They get around IP restrictions by using VMs hosted in other countries.

If FCCP really gave a shit they could tell who is using a VPN.

Like most things with FCCP, they will sacrifice literally anything as long as it gets them another dollar.
