    In the sense of: Buying gold is not okay. Except, buying gold is okay as long as Blizzard profits. Yes.

    It doesn't stop RMT companies. It don't see how it would.

    Let's say for the sake of clarity that I was an RMT company owner/manager.

    Wouldn't silling gil become more desirable because now players can use the gil they buy to not only gear their character, but also now pay for their subscription? Also, if the in-game item were 100K Gil.. and I could reliably sell 100k for 5 dollars, I could just get my RMT team to purchase the in-game item with the excess gil they farmed.. and thus increase my profits because I no longer have to worry about subscriptions.

    I understand the idea for getting more subscribers(players playing), I don't see how it does anything against RMT.
    I don't think it matters; SE should just whack moles. If people want to consider this idea, they shouldn't consider it as an RMT counter-measure I think..
