The official Vanguard site has declared an open "thank you" to the Vanguard community for joining the fight against RMT (real market trades). If you are one of the courageous players who has been involved in a lot of glorified tattletale-ing, the visit the Vanguard site to read a very long post about how invaluable you are to the community.

What I see mostly is a rather overt attempt to be seen 'to do something about it'.
Otherwise it feels like when Blizzard did their big announcement of how much Gold they'd taken out of circulation, then at the end of the month it turned out the exchange rate had gone down. I.e. prices for Gold had dropped.
I haven't found a decent exchange rate site for Vanguard yet, but it should be interesting to see if the RMT price starts rising at all.
