I know what RMT means. I just have a hard time understanding, why RMT is such a bad thing.

The things I see about RMT which is undesired is:

1. Spam bots
2. Farming bot (that makes the economy unstable)

If the spam bots wasn't there I would not be annoyed by it. The farming bots will lower the RMT prices so much that it actually makes sense for many people to invest money in it (which I think is undesired ofc).

But if the bots were killed off, then it would not destroy my experience with the game. I don't have a problem if a person decides to sit down and grind the game for countless hours to be able to sell gear - I do however have a problem if that gear has been obtained through botting.

Without the bots I don't see how this will affect me at all. I know I'm pretty much alone on that opinion :P And no, I never use RMT my self.

Imagine you're first on the ladder, when both you and the guy in 2nd run out of maps. Irl, he has money and you don't. How do you think the rest of the story goes?

My personal opinion is that p2w is only a problem if you actually win, otherwise it's just p2l and doesn't really harm anyone. But at the end of the day, GGG have their rules, they seem mostly reasonable, so I wouldn't get into that part of it too much.

It is possibly naming and shaming. I would edit it out.

I would send the list to GGG and suggest them to change their naming policy
so they can easily ban suspicious accounts like this.

With the current ToU I imagine they give that accounts the benefit of doubt
until suspicious activity was explicitly detected.

Again, thank you for your immense community effort and constructive threads.
I hope a senior staff member hears you. Request it if you get hung up at Support!


Edit:

Did you share this post with the /r/eddit community?
I can imagine GGG can post there with less restrain
as this official forums here are surely heavier monitored by RMT companies. (?)

RMT companies are not stupid, besides they have way more experience in RMT stuff than GGG thus they came up with solutions long before GGG detects a possible way to harm them.

Then notice that some of those people have in excess of 100,000 forum gold gained from other games.
