Should this be bannable/reportable?

[rapatpamp]

I know I will probably be called stupid and such for this but whatever. I do think this may help (in the long run) to cut back on gold sellers. A new trend has started to pop up , selling Hm kills , ect. If you take an average person who needs say a Titan HM kill and for whatever reason cannot finish it and they see "Selling Titan HM kills 50k" they might go for it. Now we know that gil doesnt rain from they sky in this game (enough discussion on that already) and if they donot have it already they may decide to go the gold buying route. This hurts all of us including the HM sellers. I think if buying gold , powerleveling services , ect are "frowned upon" shouldnt this be as well? If noone buys the gold then there is no market thus no sellers. This is just another avenue for the gold sellers to get revenue. Anyway maybe a new part in the user agreement or whatever. Anyway this is my opinion and nothing more. Any other opinions welcome.

If I can't afford armor, I can go the Gil buying route.
If I can't afford fish bait, I can go the Gil buying route.
If I can't afford to teleport, I can go the Gil buying route.

It's not the method that leads to Gil buying, it's generally laziness. MMOs will always have Mercs. This is nothing new.

I think restrictions on these fights should be implemented where if you don't contribute dmg/healing/whatever you don't get credit for the kill. As for banning them sounds good to me, but probably more effective to just make it non viable.

No, this is a scrub idea, mercing shouldn't be bannable/reportable.

If you're stupid enough to pay for something like that there's no reason people shouldn't be allowed to take your money, regardless of where it came from.

It's like saying you should go to jail for buying a nice car, or selling a nice car, because the money might have been acquired illegally.

guess you could under cut them and give away free hm runs then there isno reason to need money if you just hand them out like the shard issue mine thousands then give them away less people will buy them if they know they can get them for free.

I think it's A-OK, as long as it's for gil and not for real money.

An MMO has no defined objective. It's up to the individual player to decide what they want their endgame - their "story" - to be. If someone wants to be the capitalist baron who hires other people to do the heavy lifting for them, and they have the skill and time to acquire enough gil to do so, that's fine with me. There's nothing about Titan that makes that fight more "sacred" than the crafting system or anything else in the game.

The only point where it becomes a problem is if they bring in resources that other players don't have access to (or have agreed in the ToS not to use) - such as bots, hacks, or paying RMT - to accomplish their objectives. At that point, it's cheating.

I think suggesting a ban for any given activity is a very serious notion, to which I say screw you.

I see nothing wrong with selling titan runs. Completely adheres to the rules of the game. Now if you go buy gold from a gold seller, then you do so at your own risk. The primary way to make money in this game is through the market, and there are thousands of ways to do so. If you choose not to participate in creating and selling goods to make money then you will have to wait till SE adjusts drop values on mobs/bosses. Which they may never change.

As long as they are not involved in selling the gil for Rl money. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it, honestly with the way the game is designed it is probably the only way for a guild to make money in this game.
