    Yes this thread made me look into if RMT is illegal and I could find no such proof it is illegal. Not that I would ever buy gil but I would feel like a real piece of shit if I bought gil from a source that abuses people to get it. If we live in a world where Jim Bob buys game currency and Little Timmy is getting beaten if he doesnt farm enough currency then add it to the list of things we have failed in as a human race.

    yeah, unfortunately, its not "illegal" BUT it is against a games terms of service which means they can take action against people for doing it based on what the terms state(since you have to agree to them to play it is like signing a contract)

    of course taking legal action requires you to prove they actualy caused harm to the game which in turn harmed the business....but thats another story altogether and i cant think of any cases in which its actualy been pursued since no game has shut down because of it


    and before someone says it, this is in regards to someone just being rmt in a game, nto to hacking(which is against the law) in order to do it by stealing accounts and so on, now THAT is illegal

    only action they can take is ban the account tos is not a contract
