The poor RMT's...

[ZakarnRosewood]

It's not that funny, these people live off of this and need money to eat and survive. I don't want them in game but I do feel bad that some of them may lose their livelihood.

Ya, I feel bad for drug dealers hitting up elementry schools too. They need that money!

Sorry for my sarcastic reply. But yes, Selling virtual currency for real life money is illegal and goes against the TOS and EULA we ALL agree to upon playing the game. I don't fault you for not reading it, no one does. But it is there.

There is no law in any country that i know of that makes it illegal to purchase virtual currency with real currency. There is a rule against it in the TOS. Illegal, and breaking a TOS are two separate things. Lol. Also, to people comparing Gil sellers to drug dealers? Just lmao.

intellectual property laws.

intellectual property laws.

Please, quote any case in which any person has been sued or placed in jail for buying or selling virtual currency.

i didnt say there were cases.. its like jaywalking.. its illegal, but you dont see anyone getting tickets for it. you ARE selling someones intellectual property, the simple solution is to just ban them, if its too widespread they can move forward if they want with getting the accounts frozen. and if they persist, they'll likely sue them.

edit: i found this to be thorough

They don't need a quote. Read up intellectual property law. It's illegal to profit off of someone else's property w/o permission. Whether or not you believe Hanabira isn't their problem, it's yours.

Jail time isn't normally a result of Copyright/Intellectual Property cases, it's typically a fine and damages as it's a civil case, not criminal. second tons of people have been sued for it way back in the day. there is a reason most Gold/Gil seller sites are based in China these days, China does not recognize international copy right/intellectual property rights, which makes it very hard to take legal action.
