Bear in mind that money is NOT a barrier for bots. So, the game being F2P or P2P has nothing to do with the population of bots we currently have, specially because the game is currently buy-to-play. It will get worse once we reach the official release, yes, but don’t use this as an argument.
It’s incredible to some not being able to see that playing the market its another game inside your game. A lot of people spend a lot of time buying and reselling items so they can make money. It’s fun for some, maybe not for you, but there are people who love it. Restricting so much will just cut down a portion of your playerbase. Or still, potential players.
Note this: every game has bots, and they’ll be there no matter what you do. As some said, they are nothing but a small portion of “players”, and restricting literally all of your actual players is just dumb. If they want to completely eliminate RMT, they’ll need to remove trading entirely from the game. Like, literally everything. Otherwise, bots will keep on farming and selling silver in any way possible. Believe me, they’ll find a way of doing so.
Yes, i’d rather play a game full of bots (which we’ll have anyway), where i can play it freely the way a want, than forcing myself through something awful just because i want to play the game. Bots sure are annoying, but not being able to play the game is worse.
So, please, stop saying “I think trading is ok” because it is not. Maybe its ok for you, but for the majority of players it isn’t. Have a little empathy for others.
