Please reconsider SPARK and unity limitation

[Dragoniks]

I'm quite desapointed of the june version update you will release later this month.
Battling with RMT is a real pain.
You may not have enough people working on it.
I can understand all of this but.....
Putting limitation of spark and unity is not the good answer.

The real thing to do is to speak with all the competent autorities to make a worldwide law against RMT.
Doing this you could close all the website where people can buy gils and other things.

Another way, if you want to punish RMT in game and also affect all player. The best way would be to :
- Close the Auction House
- Increase drastically item selling price
- Create NPCs that sell everything that exist in vanadiel

This is a game not a real life, so for me seeing so many item wich cost 10 50 100 or more millions is simply a nonsense.

I know you will not do what i'm asking, and i know that the game economy is based on players selling item to other players and thus removing the action house is killing one important aspect of the game but the tree is ill and its roots are rotten so no other way to heal it than cutting it from the roots.

Another way : MAKE REPORTING PLAYERS MORE SIMPLE
I see a lot of rmt players in Ceizak Battlegrounds, mainly beastmaster with super speed.
If i could :
Check the player --- Report --- RMT Reporting --- OK
It will be so easy for all players to help you report their activities.
Right now the reporting has to many steps to be efficient.
Of course to cut abuse reporting, after 3 false report the player account so all his characters will be banned for a week : 7 real days.

Thanks for reading me and sorry for all the gramatical fault, english is not my m!other tongue

Actually the best way to combat RMT, is to punish those who enable them in the first place, No buyer, No seller, problem solved.



So, if you're not going to do that, then you need to find alternate ways to hinder their money making potential, and here we are with Spark's and Unity.

Punish both in fact, punishing only one side will not solve the problem.
No buyer no seller is true
No seller no buyer is also true

It is not punishing people at all. Being able to make millions of gil in ten minutes by trading npc items and people abusing it should have never really been a thing.
Now people will have to do it in the traditional means, and actually work for it, god forbid.

People had to work to farm the sparks in the first place, hours of effort.

If your complaint is about bots, those same bots can farm dynamis or whatever else.

During Gain EXP it took 10 minutes to cap unity and sparks. x 6 for multi-boxers, then chuck in the use of scripting as clearly used by some, and even more sinister tricks
and you are talking about millions upon millions of gil in no time.

There's a big difference between farming things to sell vs literally printing gil.

To the thread topic: We don't know what the cap is yet so lets not get too far ahead of ourselves.

If the cap for turn-ins is 99k spark or 198K, I don't think it'll affect the average player very much. We'll have to wait and see

How do we go about working for it? Cause selling currencies is not creating gil.

It took 10 mins for RMT to cap sparks where?
