Should SE sell Gil (similar to WOW Tokens)

[Joe777]

You've never played WoW then? Surprising. What game is failing miserably?
There are common features that will always end up being needed in MMO's that involve certain features such as Gear or Currency or Cosmetics. Economy management isn't something you can just hipster it out and say well WE are doing this differently because .. different! It's VERY important you find something that works and looking to functioning models is great way to do so. Admittedly what constitutes functional is subjective. What some accept , others may find bitterly failing.

In the case of RMT, I am against putting ANY method of directly suspending people in players hands. It gets abused by large groups. Just takes one reddit post and poof Knightly Knighterson can't play today cause 50 people out in reddit land believing some crusader for "justice" and their hastily cobbled together collection of "proof". According to another thread, this has already happened in the case of Shirogane (savage), people got reported en masse in the hopes they'd lose their house or at least get suspended till the demolition timer expired. We have proven already we cannot be trusted with that power, though for full disclosure, I've yet to see someone post in the actual forums a personal account of this happening.

I'm of the opinion that the Gil for Cash trade will always be there, the sellers will always find a way around it. It's easy and effective to take a large chunk of it AWAY from the sellers though and put the money in the devs pockets instead where it might benefit us. If you don't like the WoW example then how about Wildstar? There are a few other games doing it as well, but I've never played them so I couldn't begin to tell you if it's working or not with any sort of authority.

The game that is failing I was referring to is The Elder Scrolls Online. Sure it has fast-paced action, constantly adds new content, and is lore heavy enough to keep TES fans hooked, but it is full of lag, glitches, and bugs and is completely imbalanced. Them releasing new content so rapidly is also breaking whatever they do manage to fix again. I played it on PS4 since it released on consoles and finally just couldn't take it anymore. I then found FF14 and haven't looked back at ESO since.

As for large groups abusing the power of temp suspension through reporting that would only get them banned once SE found out about it, or anyone else trying it for that matter. Either way, we can all agree Report RMT is just not efficient enough. The same advertising bot remains for pretty much an entire day no matter how much we report them. Sure there is blacklisting but you can only blacklist so many before it's time to clean out the blacklist.

People really need to get off the "It was in WoW and therefore it's bad!" shtick.

No one is saying that? Most of the nos have not been for that reason and those commenting on the suggestion coming from WoW are not saying it is bad. Well, not for that reason at least.
