Real Money to Get In-Game Currency: Eternal Bond Edition

[ZarethTolabain]

$ = Bracelet = Gil

therefore

$ = Gil

Odd that they're fine with this but go on and on about how many RMT they've gotten rid of.

This is fundamentally wrong.

RMT, by traditional definition, is a transaction where one sells in-game currency, items, and/or powerleveling services for IRL money to make IRL profit.

IE: Seller has 10 million gil. X character purchases that gil from seller for $5 US currency. Seller profits.

In the case of selling an item purchased off of a web site/game cash shop for in-game currency, there is no IRL profit for any individual involved (aside from the game company).

IE: Seller purchases bracelet from cash shop. Sells it in-game for X amount of gil. Seller makes no IRL profit.

NOW! If someone tried to purchase said cash shop item then turn around and attempt to sell it in-game for IRL money...THEN that would be RMT as traditionally defined.
