I don't care about the market. There's alot of holes in this world, but that doesn't mean that you should jump into them.
I just want to point out that it sucks doing it and why it does.

At the end, if someone's rotten, playing ethics are of no concern. These individuals will just go and buy currency. The way they might think is "I don;t care what carebears think, I'll just gank them with my phat new gear" and will probably group together with other ethic less players like themselves.

I repeat, I'm not condoning these people's way of gaming, I actually hate it.
I'd like to quote you here:

"Hehe, hate the game, not the player ;D"

Those people should just learn that cheating means failing. If the game sucks, you give feedback. If that doesn't help, you quit. By cheating you destroy the game itself at several points and other people's motivation to play them - Even if buying ingame money might not hit other people directly by those cheaters lying to you, if I know that others are avoiding harder parts (maybe too hard/monotonous ones) of the game by cheating (this is just one of the negative sides, just so you know) and I have to do those ****ty parts myself, because I don't cheat - it completely destroys any motivation to do so and hence, playing the game.

Calindor really has made me angry, because he's actually one of the guys who's looking for a harder game, but now he's talking about avoiding them by actually supporting Real Money Trading if there's an opportunity given (he hasn't even said anything about real crap monotonous parts - although that still wouldn't be enough reason to cheat in a MMO - he was just talking about the given advantage). That just ****ed me off to the max, cause I have experienced myself several times how exactly that has destroyed games and the motivation to play them..
He maybe has played L2 and he's right about it being monotonous as **** about the PvM part, but he was talking in general here, not only about L2.

Quote:
My point is, you guys can't do anything about it once a person has his/her head on doing something like buying in-game currency.
That's not a point. That's trying to make a point and fail, since this hasn't been about doing anything against it (that's another topic). We were just talking about the subject itself and not trying to find rapid solutions.

From our side, there's something we can do, and that is, pointing at the bots and known RMT's.
I wonder why this completely differs from the sentence above. But dude, that's exactly what I was doing in this thread.
