RMT: Goldceo VS SE, SE losing

[sasakusaku]

Set up a gem card system or something and watch the gold farmers go away.

If you make a game that allows them to profit, they WILL come and they WILL take over. They don't care about you, me, the game developer, the health of the game or it's economy: bottom line is making money. If they have to jack your account and strip it for a measly 25 cents, they will and then wipe out all your characters for extra good measure just because. If their antics drive a game out of business, again who cares...there's always other new games to infest!

So if a dev actually controls their in-game 'money' then gold farmers won't bother.

Need proof it works? Well, check out Eve and GW2; gold farmers lost and moved ON. Heck with bandaid solutions that never work!

This might be pay to win but it all depends on how you set it up.
