First of all i want to tell IMC that you can’t stop RMT. The only way to make it possible would be removing trading from the game. They’ll always find a way to do this. Creating restrictions affects more the players than the RMTs. The abusive market tax makes impossible to profit from the market (a way to play for some players) and the impossibility of trade silver makes every trade more difficulty.
If you can’t stop RMT, how to difficult their work and with bonus make botting and others problematic things worst to do?
The answer is simple: make the game pay to play.
Almost every player plays with token. Just remove token and it benefits from the game and change the price for a signature for the game.
Pros:
1 - IMC will create a product to compete to RMTs that doesn’t affect the economy like leticia cubes (players will sell play time for money and IMC can take their money instead RMTs. Players will buy from who offers the highest income for the lowest price. RMTs will have to dedicate more to profit, because IMC is going to have a product with high demand to compete with them.)
2 - IMC will make botting difficulty once botters will have to pay to bot and have the risk of ban.
3 - IMC will make multi accounting difficulty once players is going to buy access for every account. multi accounting is a problem that affects many possibilities of doing events, contends, etc.
4 - IMC will have a higher income to invest in the game.
5 - Players are going to have more liberty in the game without RMT restrictions that affects more the players than them, once they exist even after each action against them.
6 - RMT will be lowered naturally.
Cons:
1 - The game will be pay to play.
