you are taking this way too serious, its just a video game...RMTing in a game is a lot different than refusing to recycle or something. And i dont think the quality of gameplay for other people whether i do it or not...like i said I would only do it if it was part of the game (whether intended or not) like it is in L2. If people everywhere in the game are doing it...then so will i. im not trying to start this RMT revolution for aion.
It also all depends on the game. In L2 whether you bot, ebay or not does not make a difference to the community...Whether you got your gear legit or you bought it doesnt change anything...L2 comes down to who can win in a pvp. I played WoW, but never did RMT, because from lvl 20 on I was making more money than i could spend at the AH, and my friend gave me a mount at lvl 40. In GW i think i bought some fist weapons for my assassin or whatever, because i randomly came across a site with them and was like geez...only $4 and they are WAY better than what im using...but i was a noob, just hit lvl 20...and ended up quitting that game like a week later.
And all NCSoft has to do is get a team (like the one for botting) and actively search for people RMTing. I know what GM's can do in L2...ive seen gm functions on L2 private servers. They can trace any item back to its origin. They could search on ebay for Sword of Blah on X server. Then when the item is sold, scan for any trades of that item, look for ones from a character with a stupid name (possibly lvl 1) that made the item traded for NOTHING...check on ebay if it was a regular seller, then trace that IP and ban both buyer and seller...only if it can be 100% confirmed. It can be a lot of work, when I played earth and beyond, westwood actively checked ebay and currency sites for RMT, they once banned the leader of the biggest guild on any server (over 1000 members) for selling a weapon on ebay, and it was rumoured that westwood actually bought the item themselves on ebay. They had a really good dev team and staff in that game. I once remember someone from my guild asked a player to transfer items for him, the guy took the items, then ignored the person and went into a region my guildy couldnt enter. He petitioned a GM, the GM checked chat and trade logs to confirm that it was a Xfer, and gave the items back to my guildy and gave that guy a warning...althought that kind of policing might be overkill.
and no, I do not like slipknot, why do you ask?
