Somethings are safe to assume - hate on pay to win is one of them. Like hate on the random number generator.

If increasing RMT demand was your goal. Sure.

You will never be rid of it - but without supporting it in any fashion and only demoting it you will have a real effect on demand, unlike increasing the demand.

I've played the system, I get it.

All it would take is for yoshida to explain it in detail, and most would accept it, exactly like it happened elsewhere.
If there was a vote to add the system then so be it - but NEVER in its description should it say "preventive measures aganist RMT" as it promotes RMT.

Players will deal with shit just like humans will deal with shit for so long - its just not best to push their shit buttons.. (lots of shit.. lol)

SE has little room to push the buttons as it already is running on some bad ice.

Considering that I breath the game industry in all (as much as I can humanly) aspects of its design I would disagree. Pay to win is for a game advantage - it doesn't have to be a game exclusive advantage like armor that only you can buy, though p2w does include that case.

You have narrowed the definition too far.
