Formal Letter to SE about RMT situation.

[GenJoe]

What can they do though?

There are many solutions to the problem..

Prompt action will deter a lot of the RMT spammers first of all.
But a specific solution I know works for a lot of the other games is to sell game-time items with secondary currency.. such as Crysta in this game.

If there's anything of value sold from the mog station, that gives people the ability to buy said item and trade it for in-game currency. SE can print out infinite number of minions/mounts/game-cards etc.. and RMT cannot, they cannot compete under such conditions. The state of cash shop in this game is pitiful at best.. Gifting was only enable what.. 2 weeks ago? There are 3 minions, 1 mount, and the fantasia.. If SE expanded the services offered for Crysta, and allowed players to exchange said items instead of making it exclusive to people who are willing to buy Crysta for real money, they can circumvent involvement of RMT by providing a pathway to $ <-> Crysta <-> Gil.


I know if that was an option, most players hoarding stupid amounts of gil would simply buy their game time with gil and that would also fix a lot of the wealth disparity in the game also.. and kick start the economy on some servers where it's gone completely stale..

This is off-topic but on some servers, there are serious economy crashes because rich players have nothing to spend the money on (Masamune iirc) and everything is cheap as hell, so nobody can actually make money either.. If SE could get them to open up their wallets for mog shop items that some other player bought with cash.. That would alleviate a lot of the economic problems that's happened on some servers
