PSA About RMT Tell Topics

[KyteStones]

You voices go ignored because you people cant stop about it. Beating a dead horse I'd ignore all of you too about it. It's not game breaking or ruining your lives you're all being a bunch of babies. So just
and move on and play the damn game.

if i recall correctly you're the guy who was whining about how one of the new heavensward BLM armor sets looked which is not game breaking or ruining your life
RMT'S if left out of hand as a matter of fact are and will cause damage/impact to the game. and if you have further question i can link you to a few well written threads elaborating on the problem

Got enough for everyone. Help yourselves!

Often those who with that kind of attitude towards RMT are the ones who use RMT services.

Not only is RMT game-breaking, it DOES ruin lives because RMTs end up with access to the personal information associated with the account that bought gil. Aside from leaving debit cards ripe for the stealing, it also leaves the account holder ripe for identity theft.

Now to help myself to some of that popcorn.

Does RMT prevent you from clearing content? Do they stop you from running dungeons or doing quests? Nope. As for whining, go through the whole thread. More people sided with what i had to say. It was an opinion of mine and I gave it. If that's whining then I have bad news for you bud.

If someone is dumb enough to give out personal information to RMT's then they deserve to have their stuff jacked from them. Life lesson. There are literally dozens of posts warning about RMT and never to do it or give out any information. Hell when you sign up for the game theres a message explaing NOT to give your information out. While I DONT support RMT, the fact that I want to come to the forums and talk about actual game crap gets flooded down and washed away in the forums. Good Topics get lost with the influx of RMT complaints. /busy is all I need to enjoy myself. Everyone has options. You may not like it but need to deal with it until we get an official response. Making new threads hourly wont get a response.

So basically, you're saying its only okay to post opinions if they're more popular and people will agree with you?

Oh my god. You're serious, aren't you?
You realize they snag your info just for VISITING their sites, right? Some people, due to the lack of education about these practices, don't realize that. And they lose their info, ranging from just their login up to including their bank info.
There're these thing called "keyloggers" and "trojan horses." It's not about being stupid, it's about being naive.
And people who are naive do NOT deserve to have their lives ruined by internet trolls.
And here's the thing: If there are enough complaints about something that it drowns out all other topics, maybe it's something that needs to be addressed.

It becomes a self-perpetuating problem: RMTs post ads. Players get annoyed, go to their websites to complain, get keylogger, lose account. RMTs strip that account of everything valuable, extrapolate possible info about owner's other accounts, and strip that as well. Then they make more bot accounts and the cycle continues. It's like the zombie internet apocalypse.
It's not unusual for someone who gets tricked into visiting these websites through one reason or another to end up losing thousands of dollars from a single click.

^ This.
This is why people rally, have protests (not including violent ones -_-), sit ins, etc.
