My point? The system would not only reduce RMT activity, but also reduce the need/want/care/temptation of people using third party scripts. In saying that, it has actually been confirmed that 2.0 will allow add-on support - which is in fact third party scripting (although limiting I am sure) - is still considered "illegal" in the current game state.

No I do not bot, and do not encourage it/have the desire to use them. I play this game because I want to play it, not some automated program. But yes they exist, and it's a point that shouldn't be ignored.


RMT currently is illegal, so is bots.

The PLEX system does not reduce any RMT activity it however makes RMT activity safer and more affordable - meaning it will increase the demand of RMTing because the price is now lower. It also allows players who dont have the cash (maybe a teen or something) the ability to farm for a while and pay for their game.

Scripts that hook into the game are illegal both in ARR and now - addons wouldnt hook they are nothing like windowers or the such.
