Why no Plex system?

[Aylis]

I view ppl selling plex/WoW coin/The Archeage token things as being no different then those buying directly from RMT. It is literally the same thing without a risk to their account being hacked or credit card info stolen.

I do not understand how ppl can be for a plex system and against RMT. It makes no sense at all.

Yea it ruins illegal RMT... but all it is is making the Developers the RMT instead. Which is much worse in almost every way.

The bolded and underlined bits explain exactly why those of us who don't mind nor care about a PLEX system in place and the exact RMT were against for the exact reasons.

On the dev side of it is "here's the system, it's there if you wanna use it, we won't bother you"

On the illegal side of it is "Were gonna spam your chat box with floods of advertisements 24/7 and annoy the hell out of you, were going to be disrupting your game play because we need gil to sell, and if you do buy from us were gonna load your computer with viruses, drain your bank account and steal your character(s), drain every gil we can (including what you just bought!) and turn you into an advertising zombie"

That's the difference between the two.Dev designed RMT isn't intrusive and isn't a pest...it's just there...Illegal RMT is all intrusive, all annoying and reminds you constantly that it's there.

*EDIT*
More thoughts!

If someone chooses to spend money for in game currency. That's fine, that's there choice. It's not my money and it doesn't effect me or my game play. That's why I support DEV created RMT. It lets people have there choice, safe and secure and most importantly, it has no effect on me or my game play. Illegal RMT on the other hand DOES effect me and my gameplay, because the constant flood of advertisements and chat spam alone is enough to drag me into it when I didn't make the choice to want to be involved in it.
