RMT are now doing MSQ. 3.0 prep?

[Naraku_Diabolos]

Just saw a bunch of RMT popping out of the ground in Waking Sands. Must've been at least 12 of them. They had high level gear. They popped one right after the other from the floor like they were moles jumping up. I did not get a screenshot in time because as soon as I rotated the camera to get all of them in so I could report them, they despawned all at the same time. Are they evolving and now doing MSQ in order to get to 3.0?

Mouthmouth.

Relax. It's for the event tomorrow.

Should have kept Steps the way it was. Would have been harder for them to enter Heavensward.

Sad thing is, I bet the RMT are better players than half the NA playerbase...lol

100% agree. A lot of folks would be surprised about how effective it can be to bot in some games using effective programs combined with position hacks... not that I uhh... have past experience in other games? Yeah, none of that... *cough*

RMT bots underground in the Steps of Faith would be able to kill Vishap pretty easily.

Sad thing is, people that run RMT, this is literally their jobs. Cant get to new area to sell? Fired. So yes. Theres a pretty good chance that they will be better than some of the player base. You play for fun, they play because it keeps their lights on.

As far as most of the player base is concerned, most of us accept them as an inevitability (this includes the devs). The issue comes when they overstep their grounds. Affecting the legitimate player base to push your wares is bad business for everyone involved. The individuals circumstance matters next to none when it comes to business. If you're committing the wrong, and it is affecting a vast number of people simply because you chose poorly in how you go about doing something "illegal", you will get no sympathy from anyone that is aware of what went on.

Keep in mind that taking part in RMT functions is actually a well paying job in a certain foreign country, and also keep in mind that they are responsible for a large number of hacked accounts and fraudulent charges, which cost SE money to deal with per charge. Not to mention that also affects the person whose fraudulent charges happened to. Credit can be affected, which affects your long term financial management goals. I wouldn't really call their (RMT) situation a sad one.

So this is why SE nerfed SoF.
