Neighborhood Watch RMT Prevention [Suggestion]

Okay, first off.. no, forget that, we all know the 'shut up, stop talking about it, I know you won't get a better answer so leave it alone or stop playing' argument is inherently flawed.

Second, your black and white view of things is generally unhelpful, especially given how reliant on compromise this genre is. In-game captchas ARE annoying I'll grant you, and it's sad when out-game elements are force in, so. However, you either missed or ignored the part where I suggested players be safe from captchas for an extended period - say half an hour to an hour - after being hit with one.

Further provisos - like not being vulnerable to them while in combat - also serve to make it less troublesome.

Finally, there are two reasons your point about the broken economy and bots being harmless is flawed: first off, encountering bots degrades the player experience. The idea is to make things more fun, therefore dealing with bots is a good idea. The 'like it or lump it' argument is unhelpful, stupid, and not a good idea in a genre so reliant on customer relations. Second, they aren't effecting the economy right now, no. But what happens when the economy gets fixed and the millions and millions of gil being held in RMT storage characters gets dumped on the market? That will not be pretty. I'm sure there are more reasons, too, like encouraging the client hacking community, but .. I really can't be bothered.

Quitting the thread though.. not up to further arguing.

Sounds like a whole lot of butt-hurt over someone not agreeing with you, and you failed to point out any validity in your own arguments. Face.
