Ive seen games where RMTers botters just destroy the economy (along with exploits and bugs aka Neverwinter PWE/Cryptic).
Ive also seen games where they are almost non existent, due to the terrible publisher pricing (P2W, which youd think would have to opposite effect) and the population drops to a point where it doesnt work (Allods Online).
I played both these for at least 3 years each, so I have a decent amount of knowledge about their economies.
Well⌠the fact their price has locked in place says something unfortunately. Right now ToS is sadly locked behind a pay-wall and the developers of these silver selling sites probably know that some people are desperate to get their hands on tokens without paying $30 for the pack. Granted once the game goes official release that tactic will change slightly but if prices for tokens(at least in Orsha) stay as they are, then well⌠buying from the gold sellers is still cheaper then buying from IMC.
Weâve got people who are scared that if they boycott buying tokens that the game will close down, a logical fear. So have players who are buying tokens purely to sell them sell them the token. IMC is still getting money but so are the gold sellers⌠itâs unfortunate but this is a problem when you lock necessary features behind a paywall. Not saying we wouldnât have the bots if there was no pay wall cause theyâd still be around⌠theyâd probably be very desperate at this point though.
IMC really need to get their heads out of their asses and actually work for the money. They need to be active. They need active GMs that can deal with gold sellers swiftly and kill off botters.
They need to implement a report feature.
They need GMs that can react to those reports fairly quickly.
In other words, they need a GM on at all hours.
So really they need people from different time zones for each server.
The fact that theyâre still here, even with the megaphone restriction, shows that there are customers. Thatâs all the proof you need.
Not really, but I do believe some people are buying from them just based on past experience.
They were here like 10 seconds after release, before anyone could even have any silver. How do you buy silver when no one has it? So what your saying doesnt even make sense, but I dont disagree people are buying. Im curious as to how many people are or if the restrictions are actually having any effect. I doubt anyone but IMC could tell me with any certainty, itâs mostly just curiosity.
They look more like phishing site if anything.
No, actually, they started to show up around the end of day 1/the start of day 2.
I also donât understand whatâs the rest of your post is trying to make. How youâd think IMC would know the number of people buying silver is beyond me. Itâs pretty dumb.
I would post you a link, but I dont think youâd understand it. The devs if they want can track nearly everything in the economy/market. It does take a dedicated team to sift through the info, which idk if IMC has.
I think youâre the one that doesnât understand. Even if IMC has all the marketâs transaction data, IMC doesnât have solid hard proof.
Yah you wouldnt understand.
The answer will be found in tenet chapel 1+2F
The farming bots over there even teleport away once another player goes near them, causing your client to get broken.
