This is by far the stupidest idea I think I've ever seen on these forums. Just because other games do it doesn't mean it's a good idea. This is something SE shouldn't just say no to, they should give it a hell no.

And to the "RMT sales tank" comment, I think FFXI handled RMT better than any other game I've seen. They launched the rmt task force and eliminated them from the endgame scene entirely. Also crashed the game's economy but really that doesn't matter on an mmo.
