Banning RMT accounts won't fix the issue

[Divinemight]

While not everyone from that area is a RMT, that's where majority come from. It sucks it happened to you, but hey; what other real solution is there to stop them?

Economy 101, the supply and demand. If there is no demand, who would want to supply? At the end of table, it is impatient players that is not welling to put in efforts into mmorpg that feeding these RMTs. Tera is a bad exmaple, RMT wont survive in that game is because of its cash shops.

Get it straight.

Woah, Necro post. Vindictus has a cash shop, it has RMT. But this was mostly referring to before TERA went free to play.

SE needs to do what EME did and ban China from accessing the servers. There, problem solved. Tera doesn't have any gold sellers for that reason alone.

Wait until they sub first /gg

The only way to stop the RMT spam is to make it extremely undesirable to use their services. Coming up with that magic fix is easier said than done. So long as there are people who do not want to play by the rules there will always be those service-providers who will make it possible to cheat.

Sadly, doing so is a lot easier said than done. Even with blanket bans, there will be those that live in those areas, that do play by the rules, who would be punished for the wrong-doings of others.

So our current option is to dutifully report these irksome offenders and have a little patience.

country's areas aren't the issue and the economy is going to stay the way it is the money is here and theres no way to take it out + the problem is not the Rtm only! Is way beyond that and more dangerous than the RTM

That's the only real method, ban the source. For so long as the source has access, they will always be there. And as for the whole cash shop bit, they're in games that have cash shops where you can do the same exact thing. There is no "true" method of removing them from plaguing a game unless you make it so they cannot even connect. Now, if you have any other useful ideas to get rid of them, feel free to post them. Aside from chat filters which they get around. As for the bots, the game has poor security, I've ran CE(Cheat Engine) and had it look at the game's data. The game didn't close, or do anything. It should have automatically dcd me, or crashed the game. (Granted I did this before early access. If it detects it now, I wouldn't know. Not going to try.)

So, if it's still not detecting CE, it would be rather easy as hell for someone with the knowhow to POShack the game with the teleporting bots you already see. Granted that's only one method, I know there's more. Naked lala mining bot, go!

Better filtersare needed, faster action. Better anti abuse systems that isn't ban.

What stops RMT's the most is gamers not using them at all, and ignoring their existence. In my opinion, you buy from them, then your name, accounts, and information is perm banned.

This, sadly as long as lazy/stupid people buy gill, RMT will stay, If no one bought gill, RMT have no reason to be here. it is a very simple solution to fix, yet the hardest thing to fix. So in reality gill buyers like the spam and want to be annoyed all day, every day so long as they have their quick fix.

Now that subs have kicked in though, I expect to see a huge drop in RMTers.

my solution :

Simply charge and extra dollar per month for the game, that would hire a fair amount of people (gm's) who's job it would be to deal with it. Give the Gms more discretion to do things ( punishment starts small so as to protect wrongfully targeted players, but starts ramping up into long term bans for repeat offenders ).

its really that simple
