Introduction
Please forgive me GMs if i post this in a wrong place BUT i decide to post here since more ppl or even GMs will aware of this topic. I think this should be in game suggestion but barely anyone will go in and read. Well,what is done can’t revert so let’s start!!!
What is whistleblowing?
It is an action of exposing any kind of information or activity that is deemed illegal, unethical, or not correct within an organization that is either private or public. (Derived from wikipedia)
How does this work?
RMT(Real Money Trading) is a cancer that every mmo game has and it will depend on how company and community to control it.
Why do I include community? because the company is an entity that consists of a group of experts but experts are human too. We can’t push all the blame to IMC n expect them to solve it like a wave of wand n BOOM all solved. Currently, i saw build discrimination, meta-builds, racists which make tos community toxic and scare many new players. To build a good community n a better game, cooperation and unity are required.
The real root of evil in RMT is the demand which is the players themselves. Without demands, no matter how many supply there are, it will fall eventually because suppliers only seek profits. And without profits, suppliers will not waste their time on RMT.
This is when whistleblowers(ethical players) themselves come to stage.
-
Whistleblowers can interact with RMT users and gain sufficient evidence that they indeed have used RMT service and report to ToS Support Team granted whistleblower incognito identity and this will cause disruption and fear among RMT users.
-
Whistleblowers can act as normal RMT users and gain sufficient evidence of RMT supplier IGN and selling silvers and rare items and report to ToS Support Team granted whistleblower incognito identity and this will ultimately destroy supplier products and strike an impression to them that they spend so much time and effort for nothing.
Why does whistleblowing must be rewarded?
Because whistleblowers are humans too and humans tend to think of benefit instead of obligation before doing an action. (exceptional for ethical players) However, obligation is just a principle and maybe inconvenience for some players who able to spend only a few hours a day. A reward that shall be decided by IMC that is fair and appropriate will motivate players to fight RMT for their efforts.
Why do i do this in the first place?
At first i voted for pay to play mode but majority choose free to play to suit majority needs and current trend of games.But this is only a short term solving problem as you can see an example from FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. This game is a buy and pay to play targetting only a small percentage of people.AND this game was once in a brink of collapse due to development failure and etc but they managed to comeback successfully because they admitted their wrongs and change the game better granted with enough funds and staff(you need funds to hire staff too)
As a result this game gain high rating,awards and good community.
Conclusion
I will persist in this game to see tos improve and become a better place for everyone. And i welcome any feedbacks and reviews BUT please no any foul language or immaturity spamming.
