An idea to combat RMT...

[Clicked]

No game I've ever played that has an official way to purchase in-game currency for cash has seen a reduction or elimination of 3rd party rmt spamming. In-game inflation does tend to go up though.

In which game do game tokens cause inflation? They do not create in game money out of thin air.

Also, this absolutely does reduce RMT's incentive to sell currency because most people will be willing to pay more for official currency than risk getting banned for buying the fake stuff.

All of them. Inflation via usage. It takes money out of the pockets of people hoarding it and puts it in the pockets of those buying it to spend. It further encourages farming for the goal of generating funds and as more people are out farming and exchanging the currency people start jacking prices up to take advantage.

It doesn't discourage RMT sellers, they still make money doing it. The only thing that stops the RMT sellers is the shutdown of the game. It does encourage people to start buying currency that wouldn't otherwise though.
