Real life Asian American here. The Chinese are the main market for gold sellers. The money they receive from non-Chinese is just extra icing on the cake. Don't believe me? Go play a native Asian MMO and see how many people buy gold and sell gold. It's considered normal to do so. So guess what? To kill the gold sellers, you have to kill the gold buyers. To kill the gold buyers, you have to ban them. Hm....oh wait, I'm a racist for stating a fact. How dare I internalize racism against my fellow yellow squinty-eyed people. CURSE THE WHITE HETEROCIS PATRIARCHY WHICH CREATED THIS INTERNALIZATION. But seriously, you won't fix this issue without blocking the Golden Horde.

Asian American here. I spent my middle school-high school life in Asia playing MMOs from that region of the world. Want to know one of the biggest constants? Players selling gold to one another. Native Asians don't see an issue with gold buying/selling. THEY are the main market. American and European customers are just a little extra icing on the cake. Want to deal with the gold sellers? Get rid of their customers. There's no getting around it. Since they stole my account somehow, I'm going to make sure people realize the truth of the matter. They won't stop unless they're kicked out or shoved into their own server.
