    RMT and their economic concept

    my wife was bored AS HELL! and see saw the advertisement of one of our gold digger spamming me ( yes admin my BL 200/200 and i deleted the deleted neames already)
    and she saw the numebrs 50 000k gils for 200$ and she asked me why it was that much. i took her to the market board and she asked me to give her the prices of a all the gears needed to get a full set for paladin( mine is decked out ilvl 100 and gains +2per pièces in def and mdef fropm the crafted 110 gears)

    So we moved on to calculate how much a full suit would cost in gils for ONE char with what market board had to offer. we ended up rounding it at 40M gils ~ probably 60-65M gils for those want the best (like my Fc suggested if you go all out melds and pure HQ) the irony is not there, its in the fact that most of those mats even if lowered like crazy over time to minimal cost still end up being an expensive piece of armor alone..

    so by this logic at 40-65M gils per combat classes that would make around 400M to 650M gils per characters.
    50M gils for 200$
    going by minimum 400 / 50 * 200$ =1600$ usd wasted MINIMUM on pixels.
    they dont make money by selling components, they makeit by selling the result of a craft ( armor weapon and so on)

    one good suggestion to dev gms and who ever doesnt want to lift its finger to search for information: put a 15 day timer before you can delete a freshly created character that way when we report you a RMT you will be able to see who did what because guess what? our blacklists are full and /busy prevents us from making trades with other players. we cant leave /shout /yell /say /me cuz thats how we can communicate with each other you cant add level restriction on chat because new players wont be able to communicate or ask questions in shout etc etc so you gusy at SE will have to find a way to ensure that RMT dont ruin it

    You answered yourself, seeing SE not capable to control RMTs/BOTs/Cheaters.. and with low/minimal actions promote these things to happen and continue..

    I don't want to point fingers, and of course not mention names... as you humbly said "Buy a full i110 set".

    Grind to Lv.50 + Buy i110 .. boom you go from i48-ish to insta-i110 !!!

    Now haters will hate.. I don't have any proof that X bought gil.. but a 2 weeks player with an HQ set of i110 and a large mansion, who doesn't know how a retainer is used.. Not a Gil buyer!? Please, its clear as the sun in a mid summer day.. but what can you say? "When the Cat's away, the Mice will play" and we are already invaded by mischief of mice.

    PS: instead of posting multiple posts, you can post & edit the post to remove character number restriction.

    Kuwait, one detail, 1000 caracters max per post, me thinks theres more than a thousand caracters used in this thread.

    if they simply add a delay between character deletion after its created g.e: 15 days, and add the report RMT that sends a screenshot of the rmt in question ANd ban the account+ credit card tied to that account not just the character used to advertise = instant peace. at 35$ per account if you ban 30 rmt accounts maybe more since some people love to have more than one account tied to a credit card in a month it gets costy for the RMT to sky rocket the economy

    OT: As Kuwaitium noted, if you use the "edit post" feature you can paste all of the text from your first set of posts into a single post - counterintuitive as it may seem, the 1000 character limit only affects your initial post, not subsequent edits.
