The irony of you calling me naïve, is that it takes great naivete to assume that the players from Japan are all humble, hardworking people. It's incredibly naïve to ascribe one mindset to all people from a country.

Actually, it is definitely not naive to believe that a majority of japanese are humble. By your assumption, then there is absolutely no cultural difference between people from anywhere? That is definitely untrue.

I love how me saying "You can't generalize about a population" becomes me saying "there are no cultural differences between anyone".

You're claiming that the JP players would almost never buy gil. I'm saying that not only would they, but they do. Not every JP player does, just like most NA/EU players don't.

I absolutely love you too. So you are saying Japan has a high crime rate, even high murder rate? There is a very interesting world in your mind indeed.

Turn the tell sound effect off. I only get sound effects for party chat and alliance chat... you know people that I expect messages from. Have your LS or FC replace tell

No, I said that the low crime rate that they report is fiction. You do like to leap to conclusions don't you? Here's the thing, it is fiction. They may, likely do, have a low crime rate for a modern country, but the one they advertise isn't true.

Come on now, let's not make a weebo idealization.. Stick to the topic at hand. Do Japanese gamers use RMT less because of cultural values?

Í have never disputed that some jp players would buy gil. But that most of them don't. Nowhere have I ever generalised anything. I back up my statement with proof that RMT find it unprofitable to ad spam and lose accounts. Now, where is your proof that many jp players buy gil - you ARE saying that many of them buy gil, arent you?

I'm not saying that. Allow me to summarize my argument:

RMT Traders have found it unprofitable to use /tell spam on JP servers due to differences in enforcement mechanisms (and possible availability of safer avenues to buy gil). The fact that the sellers can spam the NA/EU servers with impunity and it helps them get more customers drives the rates of gil buying up in those data centers.

Were SE to implement better controls on NA/EU servers, the rates would drop drastically along with the number of compromised accounts. My theory is that they would drop to levels similar to the JP data centers.

I don't think the majority of players on ANY data center buy gil. Calling NA/EU players "incompetent" is pretty lame btw.

RMT + Crime.

You've done nothing but generalize in most of your replies. You're actually getting dangerously close to "weeboing" here and I hate using that word. There also doesn't have to be a lot of players who buy gil, there just needs to be enough. The very fact that RMT exist on JP servers in the first place (even in small amounts) is proof that plenty of players over there use their services.
