Wedding Packages have made the game pay to win

[Shadray]

In before players banned for receiving RMT Gil for their bracelet.

Why pay money to buy Gil to buy an item you could buy with money in the first place?

[Orlandeu]

So if I get this bracelet/sell it for an exorbitant amount then I'm winning the game?!

[TurnBased]

Then Extra retainers are PTW since they are much more effective means of getting more gil

That was my very point back when extra Retainers were introduced and it's only going to get worse.

Go ahead and let people buy T13 clears. It doesn't bother me in the slightest at all. The fact that guy can hardly keep a rotation going just means his Augmented Ironworks gear is going to make it glaringly obvious.

Plus, people buy gil anyways. Instead, SE are selling it instead of getting it from gil sellers. It's an anti-RMT move.

[Shadray]

SE could sell gil directly in the cash shop and cut out the middle man. The effect would be exactly the same.

No it wouldn't, not even close.

No it wouldn't, not even close.

I bought an item with real money, then sold it for in-game money. I turned real money into in-game money. Explain how it's different.

The items from the cash shop could in theory be affected by supply and demand. The prices could fluctuate. Whereas buying gil directly from the store wouldn't really. I'm guessing that was her point.

I'm wondering. Do people consider EVE online Pay to win too then? Since you can buy Plex and sell it to people in game?

[Shadray]

I don't have time to teach you economics... Basically if they sell Gil they increase the amount of gill in the economy, if they sell an item you can trade for Gil the amount of Gil stays the same, it just moves around.

There is a huge difference.

Yes. Thats why i stopped playing it.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how people consider buying gear off the marketboard will suddenly make half the playerbase beat turn 13. Because I'm pretty sure gil can't make a player less stupid (but if you're spending $40+ to make quick gil boy do you ever look dumb!)

If the big stink is buying clear runs, pretty much everybody that does that inevitably gets booted from future farm runs they join for being garbage.
