just start selling yourself SE

[Vahlnir]

100% of time. Now please stop derailing off topic. Its important that the devs figure out whatever they are going to do about content sellers because they bring shame upon us all.

I will continue to disagree with you. But I will do so without derailing things, not that I believe my one comment to another person was doing that, but I digress.

OP this should go both ways.
If the mog station is gonna have more interaction with the game, the game needs to have more interaction with the mog station.
Like letting us earn crysta in game, or get some with our monthly sub.

Thats up to SE, while it could work. Similar to WoW or runescape. But i'd rather it not go into sub as much towards other items to take over the long removed veteran rewards for subbing. Thats a different hill to fight for that doesn't need to go hand in hand.

Square has been selling gamers games for a long time. What more do you want? Silly OP.

Terrible idea, part of the appeal of end game is that the items are exclusive.

Not instead of veteran rewards, along with veteran rewards.

Yeah Square, sell me an "I win" button so I can stop playing this game

I got your back.

But it doesn't provide an advantage at endgame. Once players get there, they have to jump through all the hoops everyone else does. Doesn't matter if it took them 10 hours or 3 days. They also don't allow boosting to max level, so there's that as well.

Since being among the first to clear certain content is considered a big deal by the softcore.. I mean hardcore crowd then yeah that would be an endgame advantage.

They sell story and jump potions, those aren't "i win" buttons?

You can't "win" anything by skipping the story. Those potions essentially boil down to "we'll charge you $25 so you don't have to press escape 5,000 times." Conversely, allowing players to simply purchase i530 gear or coffers from SE directly is little different than someone paying to cut ahead of you in a line. While you're waiting 2-4 months to obtain BiS, they got it in a single week by waving their credit card.

So letting a 3rd party do it is fine as long as the 1st party(se) doesn't do it, essentially?

No. Unfortunately, SE does precisely nothing to combat it effectively. That being said, the solution isn't to double down and to it themselves. SE should take a more active stance against RMT, be it run sellers, crafter bots and MB bots.
