couldn’t agree more with banning the bots and optimizing the game. but RMT should be dealt together with those issues.
well so far still no progress for the hunt though @jjaypee0529 hahaha
yep, banning bots, optimization should be the priority. but then again they still made that silly system of reporting the item. it can be subject to abuse. not sure though. they probably wasted some resources for that function. hope it works though.
anyways, like it or not, RMT plays a huge role also why this game has many limitations. </3 so with less limitations = better experience in game
Was just curious… is this the first mmorpg you played? Most mmorpg now always has RMT. You can’t avoid those.

I don’t advocate the 48 hour wait. It was a reply to a previous comment that IMC should be monitoring market trades more and that IMC implemented the 48 hour delay in collecting silver for that exact purpose.
no this is not my 1st mmorpg. not just mmorpgs. heck even mobile has RMTs hahahaha
update, i did found some guys hahahaha
if it’s not then why are you still not fond of those rmts :x it’s part of the game. just play.
RMT can’t be stopped as long as the game allow trading of any form. The best way to combat RMT is to make literally every untradable…which would be stupid.
The most important thing to do for a game company is to figure out how much profit they are losing to RMT, and how much potential profit they may lose if they implement restrictions that are detrimental to the experiences of players.
Every free to play player is a potential customer. Having a system that severely punish them for not paying is probably not good in the long run imo. Instead of combating RMT, i’d focus my energy on getting free to play players to spend money on the game…but that’s just me
How about a first time buyer reward for anyone who’s interested in purchasing TPs? How about unlocking bonus gifts (untradable cosmetic, mounts) the more TP you buy? Or better yet, how about nice bundles with TP + untradable cash shop items or custom glow effect on characters?
Whoever in IMC thought “Bundles are no longer necessary because you can buy TP now” shouldn’t be making any more business decision in the future imho.

Dang. As someone who had to and was able to get a scholarship back in my student days, that’s one of the worst things RMT has done.
There will be NO END to the bots and RMT. Its a tragic truth everyone should accept. Its the un-curable disease of ALL MMORPG’s

Those bots belong to a company. A company composed of hackers with one purpose. Earn money by selling in game currencies. I’ve even heard that people used prisoners to farm for World of Warcraft gold and sell it.

RMT is common. Ragnarok Online had it way back in 2004. There’s no end to it. They can trace it but they cant prove it. Everyone can just lie about it saying that “he was a close friend of mine”. They ain’t gonna fly all the way to your country just to prove it lol.
Me I’m starting to get tired of this game and starting to lose hope. Will quit soon and probably stick to offline games.

Honestly I don’t see the problem with RMT so long as the person selling did not use bots. What’s wrong with people getting real money for their hard earned items or silver. I am against botting but not RMT. Bots are the ones destroying the economy through insane influx of currency. If you think about it, RMT trades between legit players (non bots) and the paying players who are purchasing because they either don’t have as much time to play or just because they can, can be compared to a player purchasing TP. Hate on the bots, not RMT.
@Luven keep the thread update with those pictures and let imc know, your helping our community.

RMT can be stopped, and any end to RMT is a big dent to botting.
In fact, botting can super easily be crippled just by making singleplayer play in MMOs majorly difficult or even impossible.
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
That would be ANOTHER ‘restriction’ that people would complain much about.
That reminds me of a classical screenfetch from the iCBT2 forums.
I get a good laugh every time I see this.
I don’t think it’s possible to eliminate RMT, but it is certainly possible to discourage it to the point where it has very small impact on your game.
I remember a SPAM email strategy where a malicious person gets access to your email account. Rather than sending spam as you to all of your contacts, they pick a random person from your contact list and spoof your friend’s email address into the From field of an email to all of your contacts. Now it looks as though your friend is infected/hacked and the bad guys still have your account without you becoming suspicious. They’re making an assumption that many of the people on your contact list may know each other and can play on that trust to get your contacts to click a malicious link.
Now let’s extend that to a strategy for IMC to ban gold buyers. IMC learns who the gold sellers are, the accounts that they use to actually hand off RMT items. Don’t ban these accounts, instead look at banning the people that they trade with. The gold seller is none the wiser that IMC knows they’re bad people, so they continue to operate using the same character for several more RMT sales and IMC catches more buyers.
It’s all sword art online’s fault 
Kirito and Asuna wanna be =p
