How to solve RMT and mirroring monopoly
" Yeah, hardly an "employee" with influence over the game's direction - and dealt with by people with influence over the game's direction more than 7 years ago. Don't get me wrong here, it's shady as f, but I think calling him an employee is vastly misleading. As far as I know, he was dealing in RMT sited way before buying into GGG. But yes... Bad... Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

" Imagine how stupid I’d have to be to make money from RMT and then openly defend it on the forum of the game I’d be doing it in. Believe me, 99% of players aren’t even close to the efficiency of those who grind 12 hours a day and live off it. I’m just not the kind of person who gets jealous over someone making a few hundred bucks playing a game |

" Guess he got upset that someone can make a money by playing the game. |

" This is the core of your misunderstanding right here: it absolutely IS just about money. That is it. That is the essence. No matter WHAT item or items they "supply" to the market. That is the essence of "Real Money Transaction"....money. And the economy in PoE is no different from real life monetary systems. Especially in the modern age with bitcoin, gold, and various other ways to store your "currency" in different forms. That is what scarabs and other things are. Just a different form of money to an RMT transaction. And there are thousands of players, hundreds of thousands. There WILL be a full market of items. RMT farmers are NOT selling all the little things you buy in the first few weeks of a leagues. That's not what they farm in such a bulk amount to matter. 99.9% of that particular market is currency. And less currency in the trade means prices go down simply because players cannot afford to buy items. Supply and Demand. You are simply wrong on this one...not much more I can explain. And to claim that RMT "stabilizes the market" is honestly and patently ridiculous. It's such a ridiculous thing to say that I can't even really argue anything...it just makes no sense.

Its always funny that people think an AH would stop RMT.
I mean even D4 has RMT and that game has bop loot wth. The train left the station in the early 2000 mate. If there is anything to trade RMT will exist. on any mp game. Current Build: Penance Brand

" Honestly, I don’t see the point of your argument. PoE doesn’t have a single “gold” currency—every currency item is itself a valuable resource. |
|
" Which is why RMT dabbles in ALL currencies. Because they all have value. BUT They all form what's called the "PoE economy". There is one economy. This last statement means absolutely nothing in this argument lol. And you are still failing to grasp the most basic problem of RMT and farms: more is NOT better. It changes values based on the supply. The farms create an EXTRAORDINARY supply. WITHOUT the rmt farms, the market would balance around the TRUE drop rates, making it much BETTER and more affordable for a wider range of players. Tangentially, the game could be properly balanced NOT around hundreds of 24/day "players". Starting anew....with PoE 2 Last edited by cowmoo275#3095 on Jun 4, 2025, 10:27:19 AM
