Maybe ask themselves since it’s the guy you’re defending?
Yet facebook 1:1 RMT groups exists and affects economy.
Except that the buyer might buy from someone else, and that’s a natural competition. Now, facebook groups, like you said, kill in-game competition in favor of real life currency competition, affects game economy again.
And that doesn’t change anything as to why 1:1 RMT naturally affects economy in any form it exists. Even if it didn’t affect, it should be punished in any way.
Also, and again, if you just go check the poll I made earlier, just like in the old thread/poll, shows that the older players that are still around are against RMT, even in 1:1 form:
It’s actually a good source to point it out that if a game company owner wants to keep their loyal playerbase that keeps playing for years, one of the steps is to enforce their policies - and that includes punishing 1:1 RMT, as well all other forms of RMT.
Especially, if you consider what your friend on the topic said, that silver sellers are starting to use 1:1 RMT to try bypass the policy.
