Only if your a retard 99% of these places accept 3rd party payment programs like paypal.
(Someone said: They would have sold 100m instead of 9m?)
This argument is completely false, reason? Let me ask you a simple question, if you were a gold farmer, and you have 100m sitting spread out in your armies of âsoon to be bannedâ botting accounts, what would you do?
Answer: Lower the supply price of silver and make sure you sell every single last silver, some do it daily, some hourly, it really depends on the policy of the workstations.
So how does this affect the rest of the players?
Every game that has a tradable subscription membership will always have a tied economy with RMT, people will buy silver as long as it cost them less to buy a token.
Bottom line, silver price falls, token price and price of everything in game rises.
(Someone said: They are making less, pennies)
There are many others none recorded trades.
Data that was shown in the first post is from a single website, that was used to hook up gold farmers and spammers, they charge a flat 5% fee. Most spammers have their own contact and will try to skip through this website as much as possible, but when the silver demand is too high that their own contacts are not able to fill up the orders, they will look to buy from that website.
You need a bank account from China to use that website.
Most gold farmers are chinese.
Rate of USD:RMB 1:6.4
$30 usd is about $200 in China. Man power and electricity is extremely low. Some workstations even have branches in third world country such as Indonesia, Malaysia etc where labour and electricity is even cheaper.
You do not need to study anything to know that solutions which punish the innocent more than the guilty, are fundamentally bad.
The crowning gem on this argument is IMCâs 1:1 trade statement in which they openly admit that gold sellers have next to unlimited amounts of silver.
This directly translates to the simple fact that they can buy tokens, they can buy anything in the AH.
Following up on this the people 1:1 trade restrictions will hurt the most, are not the sellers, but your average player who has to actually work to just as much buy a token off the AH.
Let it finally dawn on you:
Not proverbially but quite frankly literally screwing over your player base with these restrictions will cause frustration and anger.
There was the dungeon cap, i said fine, its not that big of an issue, farming will go slower.
There was the AH cap, i said fine, its not that big of an issue, i will simply NPC sell my stuff without frustrating over the bs.
There was the 1:1 trade cap which completely and utterly annihilated playing with friends, and i said⌠for a game which didnt even bother to do as much as add a frikin need/greed loot system, this is now god flying â â â â â â â too much.
If you have to ruin the game for me and my friends to inconvenience (because lets be honest here, this is not something that counters gold sellers, it just inconveniences them) then you have gotten something wrong in your thinking process.
Im sorry IMC, im supportive towards you, but when it comes to bs with bs attempts of bs justification, i have low patience. Understand that by now gold sellers are only the second group which get screwed by your caps. THE FIRST ONE IS YOUR DAMN PLAYERS.

There is only one way of stopping gold sellers. That is making it entirely impossible to transfer silver to another account (no trading, no market place, no anything), youâd also have to make it so accounts are locked if someone with another IP address logs into it (to stop people from just going on an account and farming silver for the person, or to stop them farming silver on an account and selling it later).
Outside of this, you can never stop them. You can only hope IMC are on their game and actively banning them enough that they actually feel the impact.
The other option is to set up your own group of people you trust, and barter with them using something like Talt instead of silver. You got to find people you trust though for this to work.
I really want to believe IMC is doing their best to stop gold sellers, I really do. Unfortunately my past experience with other game developers have turned me into another cynical paranoid freak. It is sad really. 
Anyways, there are good suggestions on how to combat RMT, thought up by players @ridleyco and @thailehuy⌠I will link their posts here
You can pretty easily see how theyâre transfering silver. Check the market for Hamming Leaf or Leaf Bug Shell, these are averaging about 15000 silver, and you can collect about 10-20 of each per minute. A gold buyer merely needs to put them up for a specific price and have a gold seller buy them to transfer money. Technically the two day limit on retrieving silver is intended to increase the window where they could get caught performing such a transfer, but I donât see any evidence to believe that theyâre actively getting caught or punished. With some moderation the system would make it very difficult to transfer silver but as it stands itâs fairly easy to game.

You mean you donât pay 15,000 for hamming leaves and leaf bug shells? 
Indeed, and there isnât any point in this window. argh, rhetorics
Transactions are logged. Goldseller hunter find suspicious transaction in the logs. Hunter reports it as illegal transaction to the GMs. GM ban goldseller and? goldbuyer.
Goldbuyer may have used this gold for buying a memedagger (which means more gold and less daggers in the economy) but, hey, is it such a big problem to warrant a 48h trade window ?
This suggests one of the following:
-
Simply listing an item will shift the market cap system orâŚ
-
The current system is not correctly removing fraudulent transaction entries from market cap consideration orâŚ
-
That these sellers and buyers are not being caughtâŚ
Youâd be surprised⌠The game company Ankama had such a huge problem with chargebacks to banks with stolen credit cards that they nearly lost all their payment partners and had to set up ridiculously over the top payment filters to prevent fraud. All these credit cards were stolen from people who either bought gold or charged for a leveling service.
Itâs pretty obvious gold sellers have plenty of stolen credit cards to use to make up for revenue loss. Where do you think they get them?
Not through pay pal
My point stands, only the stupid get robbed.
who the fock buys 350k silver for around $10 anyway during early access with less players?
who the f0ck would want to risk paying first then hoping the other party fulfills their end of the deal and buy whatever item you placed on auction house?
just use your own macro and run around map spamming whatever aoe skill you have to farm silver, and even then you should pray that you can actually encounter monsters as monster spawn rate and spawn locations has no pattern, in the end itâs wont be as effective as you hope it to be.
pray IMC will offer TP to silver option (like GW2) for all you lazy idjits!
And the stupid are numerous.
Holy hell have none of you ever used paypal? If they donât full fill the paypal user simply charges back through pay pal saying purchase unfilled.
Seriously this is the reason why paypal is such a big thing on ebay and amazon etc
It almost seems like you are defending the gold buyers.
No, he is explaining to you how the world works.
And he shouldnât, because obviously he is wasting his time.
Youâre a lot of chickens shouting âgoldsellers, goldsellers, goldsellers, fear, fear, fearâ without even trying to understand how their business works and why they are a thing.

and here lies the cause for RMT, lazy idjits whose brains are on their as⌠risking with transactions that has no regards to consumer protection⌠hope IMC bans those both in game currency sellers and buyersâŚ
Maybe most people here who doesnât give a single f0ck on combating RMT and illegal transactions are the idjits who either bought founderâs pack in the hopes of gaining profits from RMT but unfortunate got banned before ever gaining profit or the idjits who tried to buy 350k silver for around $10 and got themselves banned.
Except it would be more profitable for gold sellers to ask for your credit card number to scam you later. Using Paypal would be too safe and too easy.
This coming from the guy that doesnât understand the concept of paypal. lol
No just removing bullshit cons / defenses from the argument by disproving them. Lets keep the pros and cons realistic
