does GGG even ban RMTers

"

Seems to me the most reasonable thing to do would be to play the game as PvE and not give a damn about any "competitive" aspects of it. Time to say it again: if one wishes to compete, there are many excellent PvP-based games. And, again - short-term races look like a good alternative if someone is hell-bent on competing in PoE.

There is some level of competition even in a pve game be it pride or the idea that your time investment is rewarded with something meaningful and tangible and not something that can be bought a cheater who invested non of that time and effort.

Deterrence doesnt solve the problem but its certainly going to make an noticeable impact. At the very least, banning the top 10 rmters on standard would liberate likely over 800,000 exalts from the economy.

The 'War on RMT' pretty much like 'war on drugs', can't be won, the objective though should be minimize the impact it has on legit players instead of reinforcing the feedback loop that makes it worse.

You're an idiot if you think RMT (or other form of external currency exchange) does not affect you the moment you open the trade window to trade with other player. Keep deluding yourself though if you want.


Now, if you play (and plan to keep playing) isolated from the rest of the playerbase, all fine, then RMT won't affect you. But take in mind, this is not how most people play and is not want GGG intended, as much as I hate trading instead of just killing stuff, unless you are willing to invest an unreal number of hours most people can't, if you want to keep building your character (and xp'ing) beyond act 3 merciless, you are pretty much forced to interact with other players. And so, RMT/FG will affect you, whether you admit it or not.


The 'War on RMT' pretty much like 'war on drugs', can't be won, the objective though should be minimize the impact it has on legit players instead of reinforcing the feedback loop that makes it worse. GGG though does not give a fuck because they fear 'people will leave the game', 'community will be fragmented' etc. so it's important to keep the façade of the 'War on RMT' to keep player trust, while the edifice is rotting and crumbling inside, and then as playerbase let's pretend the damage is not there and all it's fine, but when you need constant resets and leagues start dying after pretty much 1-month it's all good lol.


Come on, what a joke.

Bring on the self found leagues so we can have a legit ladder for once. It's the only way.

GGG has explicitly said they will not consider SFL (and BoA) due to the fact they feel trading is a crucial element of the game.
