Actually it generally does.

Corelation =/= Causation.

Just because it would make sense that lower prices meant slower sales, it could also just be they find they get overall more sales at this price point and find no need to adjust the price in a dog eat dog market. Having a stable customer base even for RMT isn't something to sneeze at.

I'm ashamed to admit I had some business dealings with RMT companies a while back (Not as a buyer but as a designer for their web-adds) and in the process I got to know one of the guy behind a fairly large english lead RMT market, it's pretty business like in their neck of the woods at least.

Not sure about the Chinese RMT, but the guy I knew would go for stabillity over short term profits and customer loss to the competition.

And natural equilibrium over time. I knew a couple gold sellers in D3 - and I did a little my self (though it is legal in D3 :P) you over priced it and just brought it down as the market understood what it wanted to pay for. It wasnt blizzard doing anything other then the market had flux due to amount of players coming in, players coming out, and general understanding of worth.

Made a few hundred (dollars) XD.

Even with PLEX it is obvious RMT wasn't destroyed - PLEX just helped find the equilibrium price faster. And also made it legal to buy in game currency. PLEX != RMT killer.

All plex does is make gold -buying- allowed, and allow players who dont want to use real money to buy monthly passes.

PLEX != RMT killer.

It's funny how people continue to try and refute something no one argued. Strawman anyone?

You can't kill RMT. No one argued that you can or that PLEX can. You can just damage it, and in the process reduce its ability to generate currency and inject it into the market (reducing it's inflation effect).

That's what PLEX Does, in addition to helping the game retain subscribers.
