Neighborhood Watch RMT Prevention [Suggestion]

[Wild]

Geez, ok, lets not throw out the baby with the bathwater. The system would work great if say a players flagging only counted after they were deemed to be a good contributor. Conversely if it is misused then that persons future flags would mean nothing. Sure you would need to police the system, but the idea has more merit than what everyone here gives it. Sure I will agree with you that if poorly implemented it would really suck; but roll with me... if it was done correctly, it could greatly diminish RMTs impact on the game economy.

As soon as you put control over another players gameplay into someone elses hands, you start on a very slippery slope. I personally do not care about RMT, I don't give a toss. They aren't in my way, they hold a standard amount of economy and they keep a steady flow of crafting mats flowing. I will use the STF reporting tool on the website for these issues, and would be quite annoyed if I heard SE were implementing a system ingame where people can affect my game just by hitting a report button.

I don't care what their karma with the system is like, and honestly you don't even need to report this kind of thing. SE are well aware of it, as are every other company that runs an MMo in the world. The solution is not an easy one, and not something you can just toss random ideas at. It is massively overhyped by players, as they have found themselves bored, so they go out hunting, or start theorising as to what they are up to.

Stop worrying, let SE deal with it.
