Hello all. I've been thinking about all the RMT lately and the effect it will have on the community when we (hopefully) get a large infusion of players due to the expansion. I myself don't know much about computer programming or software design so I have no idea how or what measures SE could take to affect the problem.
I do see a rather large problem that SE had to address in the first place. I think a lot of people believe SE is not doing anything/not enough to combat the problem. I also think that Gilsellers/RMT are never going to be stopped for a few reasons. RMT are literally making a living off of selling in game currency. The drive to find new ways to circumvent any measures implemented will always be higher than SE's efforts to combat the problem. SE has a whole slew of issues to deal with besides RMT, while RMT can focus totally on finding ways to move their product. If you think about it this way, I believe that some of the anger towards se can be minimized. They are dealing the problem as best as they can, but consider the adversary they are combating.
