Is this considering RMT by SE ?

[Celef]

So what about Rift's REX (an item you buy via CS for real money to get in game currency to buy item in CS) which is tradable on the market place or Guild wars 2 in game currency, again buyable and sellable by players ?

Is this, in you opinion, RMT activities considering it was created by the dev team itself ?

Because this is Final Fantasy XIV. What you see in one game isn't necessarily the same in other games.

Any way you look at it, in any game, it is RMT. But, each game has different rules on RMT. So in FF14, all RMT is against the rules. However in GW2, you may be able to sell cash shop items for in-game currency. Whereas in WoW you may be able to sell your entire account for real-world money. RMT is RMT but each game decides how much, if any, RMT is allowed.

(Also please note I haven't played GW2 or WoW, but those are just similar MMOs to FF14 that I could think of to draw a comparison for the illustration of my point.)

Technically I guess they could consider it RMT, but SE created the situation themselves. The more stuff they add to the mog shop and the more money they charge (looking at you $30 mount) the more likely this stuff is going to happen. There rich people in RL and there rich people in game and just swap wealth in a different way. In the end Person A get the mog shop item they want, Person B get gil and SE get paid money. Like said earlier SE created this situation themselves and if they don't want it going on then they need to have a in game way to get the items in addition to just being able to buy it off the mog shop.

Or if too much of this happens they will take away the gifting option.

There's no could, they do consider it RMT.

SE likes money too much which why they charge what they do for the mog shop items. The money going to them not some gil selling company so SE would most likely turn a blind eye to it. Why would a company want to punish someone for giving them money.

It's not whether you consider it to be RMT it's how Se consider it, it seems you are trolling this in the hope that one person will say "no it's not RMT" so you can go ahead and make real money from an in game item and, if you're caught fall back on this thread.
