    25 years making offline games doesn't help one bit in combating an online issue. All the experience SE has on this is the (mostly failed) experience in FFXI and the experience in FFXIV, that isn't even a real study case because the game was an explosive flop.

    On the other hand, both CCP and En Masse have been more successful in combating RMT that Square Enix has ever been. So yes. they do know better. Results don't lie.

    So yeah. SE has everything to gain from taking a page from the book of those that managed better.

    See where I said population affects RMT? Now check the huge population decline in Tera since it was released and try to figure out why maybe it's not as widespread as more popular, and populated, games.
    Actually the population of TERA is definitely healthy and stable at the moment. This without mentioning the fact that EVE online's population is very large and still growing.

    Source?

    In what way was XI a "Failure", and what evidence do you have that CCP and En Masse have been successful at all, much less more successful in combating RMT? If you have some kind of report suggesting this system is in any way effective by all means link it up.
