Banning RMT accounts won't fix the issue

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.

Ha... great idea for a new (sorta) topic: Show Your Necro Thread.

I have not played 1 single MMO that did not have RMT. And I have played a LOT of mmo's. I have YET to see ANY MMO company find a way to stop them. The only way to stop RMT is if rich little schmucks stop buying gil/gold/whatever. Which wont happen.

Say whatever you want. I do play Tera before it goes to to free to play. It has an interesting system to allow a player to buy an item (gives 30 game days) from cash shop, then list it on in-game AH for in-game curreny. Tera has no RMT because it is game comapny that is actually selling the in game currency. RMT cant survive because they cant compete with game company. Get your fact straight.

The real effective method to stop RMT is to report the players you know that is buying gils from RMT. This is how Japanse players kills off RMT on their server. If you havent see the flaw in your idea, let me remind you:

This game is allowing you to change the language, I can play JP client on NA servers and you have freedom to change any type of client game is offering at any given time. On top the fact that they are going to have Chinese version FF14 soon, you are asking them to block China's ips? Find a word to describe yourself.

Its unique cash shop at the time, allow a player to buy an item (gives 30 game days) from cash shop, then list it on in-game AH for in-game curreny. Tera has no RMT because it is game comapny that is actually selling the in game currency. RMT cant survive because they cant compete with game company. Get your fact straight.

A quick Google search shows you are incorrect. Also: the new kid on the block - Wildstar - also sells in game currency in the same way:

So .. what facts were you presenting other than anecdotal evidence.

Wild Star was released on June 03, 2014, correct? Tera had RMT activities when during its early stage as well, then it dies out becaus no one is buying from them. Give it some time and we shall see.
