So what if people sell platinum and gold plans for gil?

[cookiecutter]

Until people undercut to the point that RMT nets more gil for your dollar than cash shop. The people getting screwed deserve it, though.

At that point it may not be worthwhile to purchase wedding plans from the cash shop until the demand increases.

They are going for 30mil now in Hyperion.

I guess this is another way to waste gil, seriously who would pay that price for bonding? o.o

[DenebPunkin]

People are already setting up PF to buy one or 2. A couple of my friends are telling me there are people with PF offering 4-5 mill for one, and PFs selling them for 5-10 mill.

So SE legalizes RMT? That is exactly what this is if someone buys the item with real money and trades it for in game currency, no ifs ands or buts about it. Maybe it's different now because they are making the profits?

Oh wow, first dye and now this? I'm not going to derail the thread or put the insurmountable energy required (impossible) to dissuade selling vanity but.. this stuff is p2w plain and simple.

If you can sell cash bought items for gil, you've just made p2w ;(.

People can defend the cash shop all they want, a mount and couple of minions was "ALRIGHT", even though it wasn't fair for people who couldn't or wouldn't wanna shed some more money for a digital product.

BUT THIS?

I remember really well Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE Online... Where in that game basically all ingame gear was worthless in compairson to cash shop gear. It was a F2P MMO BTW. But in that you had to grind forever ingame to afford cash shop items, provided you found a seller. It was 100% pay to win.
That game server (the online one for the wester audience) got shutdown in February. Jp one is still running, with the same heavy pay to win environment. I remember people not shy of shedding 200-500 $ to get the best gear in game that way (buying it directly OR buying tradeable items to sell in game and THEN buy the best gear with in game currency)

I'm pretty sure TERA & Aion went downhill that way too.

Tl ; dr :
Remove the ability to trade Wedding Bracelets
Make gear you dyed with those one time use metallic dyes BOUND TO YOU, the same way they do when you wear those in a battle. That way people won't be able to buy dyes and use them on other people's gear to trade them back to them.

It should be possible to trade most cash shop items in game. Changing money into gil isn't a big deal, it's the other way around that's a problem.

Real money is being used to purchase a digital item and they're exchanging it for in-game currency. That is literally the same thing but the other way around.

They're BOTH the problem.

Cash shop items on the market and therefore available for in-game currency works fine in Eve. It's not like you can win FFXIV with gil no matter how much you buy.
