The goldsellers! We hav all seen them in mmos and the companies attempt to stop them. Well if you cant beat them join them. And that is what f2p ingame stores are all about! Instead of buying gold with rl money from a goldseller to get that item , you now use your rl money in a in game store to get that item.

So imo the f2p companies have fundementally taken over the goldseller econony and getting those bucks in there own profit..

Hilarious and a bit hypocritical imo. But that is what mmo is all about rl money..

items/gold are getting sold anyway, why not have them make the money, and you can actually trust the seller.

 

Not to mention that unlike gold farmers that gold doesnt come from cheating and ruining others peoples gameplay.

EvE is proof that said mechanic only slows down gold sellers.    And provide some interesting stories for those that do target them often enough to get "interaction".

RMT will always ruin the concept of a level playing field. And ive seen gold sellers in f2ps, theres always exploits that allow them to undercut the company managing the game. The only thing that RMT does is encourage further cheating, botting is usually widespread in these games.

Just to make things clear...
I speak for myself and no one else, unless i state otherwise mine is just an opinion. A fact is something that can be independently verified, you may challenge such but with proof. You have every right to disagree with me through sound argument, i believe in constructive debate, but baseless aggression will warrant an unkind response.

Actually Goldsellers do approach developers for special deals.   WAR developers mentioned that they were approached with quite a bit of money for such deals.

People rape and rob others even though it's against the law, so why not just legalize robbery and rape?

Because people cares about violent crimes a lot more than what may or may constitute cheating in a GAME.
