The games that have it have significantly less RMT, and I know this from personal experience. How do I know this?

WoW for example has never had as many bots as it does these days after the introduction of the token system and it has more RMT spam than ever before.
It's literally not even in the game yet. How can there be so many more bots as a result of something that doesn't exist?

Thirdly the RMT will control around 90% to 95%% of the PLEX system by buying up en masse the majority of the PLEX's which would be sold in the game for gil
There's not a finite number of them available. They are infinite. RMT can't simply "buy them all", and if they did try to buy a huge stock it would just smash the price into the ground from over saturation. Free game time for everyone!

I have seen this happen in many MMO's that use such token systems like PLEX where can buy it with real money and sell in game for the games currency
Many MMOs use it, or switch to using it, because it has a direct negative effect on RMT. If it really caused problems, more and more of them would be willingly switching to such a system.

But hey, I only have a good 5-6 years into EVE, which is one of the most well known games out there that uses any kind of token system. Wanna know how many RMT I've come across there, be it in game or via PMs? ZERO
