FFXIV - A Step to P2W (My 2.45 Feedback)

[Adrian74]

You've got it backwards. Selling in-game currency for real-world money is RMT. Selling real-world money for in-game currency is not necessarily the same. Let me put it this way; RMT aims to gain real-world money. The other is spending real-world money to gain in-game currency.

SE gains real money with this. You are paying for obtaining in-game currency, but instead to one not so trustworthy entity, you pay it directly to SE, this is worse because encourages people to do it, since they can trust SE in that matter.

Seriously, I can't understand you people and the many 'arguments' you try to bring whenever they are broken by the common sense.

Basically, they're replacing the RMT for themselves. "Oh, but, shouldn't we be happy about it? It means fraudulent RMT will end, now we have legal one, SE instead!". No, we shoudln't, legal RMT is worse, people trust it, people will pay for it, people will take it and boost their gaming, it is not optional since it is there, when you see another do it you feel so shitty about it that you either quit the game or you fall in repeating that social conduct and you also legal RMT, and that's all in a basis of a P2W.

Only a 10% would risk their accounts and information to some fraudulent sellers like RMT one are, and you can't really be sure of what you do until that point. If you can trust the one who provides you that service because it is the developer of the game itself, then you can say that 10% would become a 50% or more.... And everyone wins! They win more money, those people happily do everything easy and fast as they want and... Oh, wait, we who choosed to play games were we are equal to the rest and money has nothing to be on it don't win. Where's the experience, skill, knowledge? Bah, money!
