Makes an unfair advantage. Not sure why you would even have to ask why RMT would be illegal or unfair but…
Its an MMO. It takes time to grind and live in the world how its supposed to be. If you’re allowed to swipe your card, legally, and Catch up to everyone else grinding that is called Pay To Win.
If you want stuff like that there are plenty of other MMOs.
A sense of entitlement doesn’t go far in games like this. Maybe just find something else to grind. Your character is yours to do whatever you want with but you still have to follow rules.
Just like in real life there are consequences and repercussions for every action you make.
PLEASE/…dont let coin and money or gold sellers take over the game. Resist the influence of non-MMORPG gamers. People who advocate for real money transactions for coins have other motives than true, fun gameplay.
Keep it the way it is. Fair, equitable. Stop whining and get in there and figure out your way of making coins, other than buying them with real-life money.
There were several companies who grabbed towns right away buy buying the 100k necessary. Some were even charging via paypal to join their group, and got so popular they exceeded the 100 player limit and had to form secondary companies.
They should get the data from large gold transfers (single and consecutive) and then ban the accounts involved. Opened a chat with someone standing in starter gear in the middle of town and got “Please put in received your code for consideration of purchase” . Grrr…
Because then the game will be plagued with those damn gold seller bots that are already in game right now. Dealing with that should take a high priority. Also, it opens the door to all kinds of scams. Not a good idea at all.
I mean, If you(and your potential customers) really really really really really want to buy and sell stuff, not even Jesus himself can stop you. Just saying…
Did i say i want? I gave the question to understand better why is this not allowed, and why my character do not belong to me. Learn to read with understanding I know my english isn’t the best, but i think it was clready said.
Whales will ruin any mmo. The company has one of two choices, forbid any goldselling or join in on the p2w and that’s when you lose a big part of the playerbase. They will have to cater to whales, by virtue of them paying the most. You will have extremely inexperienced but extremely geared players expecting you to have the same amount of gear just to run a dungeon, because they lack any perspective due to the fact that they skipped most of the progression by swiping their card. It happened in other mmos. Personally, I would like for whales to be content with buying every skin if they really want to, but to stay away from buying gold or gear.
To anyone who might want to say “Just don’t play with whales”, please understand, this game is more of a collaborative effort than other mmos I have played and I would like it to not be focused on people who would pay for progress than actually play the game. For bigger PVP content, you have to play with other people and those people will often be leaders of clans or “higher-ups” in said clans. Collaboration in PVP and PVE is inevitable for certain content and I would rather have someone who has done their fair share of pvp lead a war effort than someone who basically bought their levels and gear (looking at some streamers doing the crafting townboard quests with “some” help from their audience for example).
Are you a South American gold farmer or something? I feel for those guys. Shits bad over there, and I’ve seen the videos on how some of them survive on selling runescape gold, but hopefully that never becomes a problem in this game.
Because it is not yours to sell. You purchased a licence to access the software (game), but you do not ‘own’ it per say. You don’t own the account you play on, nor any virtual currencies or assets associated with it. All intellectual property (including the software) remains owned by the company, and you haven’t purchased any share of ownership in that - you’ve only paid to access it.
So while you may put in your time and your effort into the game on the account that you play on, at the end of the day you don’t have any legal grounds to sell any of it.
You do not own the game, you bought a license to run the client and connect to the servers. You do not “own” anything you build or craft in game in real life, you have no right to it as far as monetizing it.
RMT is what destroys games. RMT is what shoves people into sweatshops for next to no pay and enriches a select few.
RMT is bad, it must never, ever be allowed. It must be killed… with fire…
And is this fair in your opinion? That you paying for a possibility to use a tool, doing something nice with it and at the end what you produced is not yours? This is a common thing if you are working for someone, but after that you are getting paid. What we have here is, that we paid for the posibility to use a tool, created a things thanks to it and those things aren’t ours. Do you see my point?
I can give an examples:
Buying a license for a programs like, Photoshop, Sony Vegas or Unreal Engine. The license is not granting you a ownership of those programs, but what you created thanks to them, is fully yours and you may sell it for any price you want.
It’s just how IP works. If you create something, whether that be a music melody, a painting, a photograph, software code, etc then you will own the rights to that.
It’s not correct to view it in the perspective of it being employed, however. The game is something to be enjoyed at your leisure, not through the course of employment.
All you’ve done is purchased a licence - Amazon have not employed you in any capacity.
I understand your point, but it’s very far from the mark.
Edit: re your edit regarding the photoshop example. This is where different types of contract come into play. In the majority of cases, it will be a customer-commercial contract (as in you are purchasing it in personal capacity), and other times it will be commercial-commercial (as in you are purchasing it in a professional capacity).
If you are going to use the software for commercial purposes, then you would have to purchase the licence on a commercial basis rather than personal use, and there are varying options for each scenario.
Hope that helps.
