Cash Shop Suggestion

[Kaurie]

I like the idea overall, but not the point system for purchasing extra. As a monthly sub game, I feel it is lame that there are items which can only be purchased via a cash shop.

Also, stupid idea. It would increase RMT if anything because you can bet that cash shop clothes and mounts would (at minimum) be sold for tens of millions of gil and some people (the same dipsh...lovely customers...who support RMTs in the first place) would just go that route if the gil was cheaper than SE's cash shop.

I disagree, I think this would help with RMT. I think there would be a lot of market forces which would drive down the prices of RMT and the items on the market board. Theoretically, this would make RMT less profitable and could potentially cease. It would also, as the OP suggested, add a legit way of purchasing gil with real world money.

Hello there!

Coming from SWTOR where this was "doable", as RyuRoots mentioned, it did increase the RMT situation. .

Conversely, similar solutions have reduced RMT in games like Guild Wars 2 and Wildstar (at least I rarely if ever had RMT requests in either game, with 1k hours on Guild Wars 2).

Ah, that is great news to hear it has worked! Perhaps it is because it was out of control for a while during the Shadow of Revan era of the game. I am glad to hear it is successful in other games. I think it's lovely that someone can save up the gil they earn to purchase an item that may potentially be unobtainable given their financial position.

Cheers!
