    Somethings are safe to assume - hate on pay to win is one of them. Like hate on the random number generator.
    Interesting, since on TERA people hate the random number generator like smoke in the eyes, but don't hate chronoscrolls. As a matter of fact, they're well loved.

    If increasing RMT demand was your goal. Sure.
    No. Reducing the influence of RMT on the market was. And it has been achieved elsewhere. It can be achieved here if well implemented.

    You will never be rid of it - but without supporting it in any fashion and only demoting it you will have a real effect on demand, unlike increasing the demand.
    You telling it increases the demand based on absurd concepts that have nothing to do with economy and reality doesn't make it so.

    Point stands though. if "RMT is still there" is a valid argument to dismiss PLEX, it's a valid argument to dismiss everything that results in it.

    I've played the system, I get it.
    Looking at how you fail to understand it, I doubt it.

    If there was a vote to add the system then so be it - but NEVER in its description should it say "preventive measures aganist RMT" as it promotes RMT.
    You saying it does doesn't make it true. i'm quite sure the devs of two different MMORPG knows if it does quite a lot better than you (or me, mind you).

    Players will deal with shit just like humans will deal with shit for so long - its just not best to push their shit buttons.. (lots of shit.. lol)
    They aren't just "dealing with it", they like it a lot. The same would quite probably happen here. Besides the fact that it combats RMT, people love convenient things, and this system is very convenient.

    Considering that I breath the game industry in all aspects of its design I would disagree.
    Being a gamer doesn't give you as much knowledge of the industry as a professional, regardless of your lung capacity.

    Ask any MMORPG developer what "pay to win" is, and they'll repeat the definition I gace verbatim or almost. That's because that's exactly what I'm doing with the definition I heard from every single one of them I ever talked to. And they're many.
