RMT Sites are now making their own items and selling copies.
" If youre into the trading game of course it affects you and even more if a lot do it. RMTers can afford anything while you have to farm for orbs do recipes and other stuff to get items and orbs the RMTers just buy the orbs. Then comes the fun part, they buy stuff from others with their RMTed orbs and you wonder why the prices are so fucked up because if a lot of them buy lots of ex they can buy lots of stuff with it, making everything cost a lot of ex. Get it now? If i have a store and in that store i sell stuff for 1 dollar but i end up having lots of people buy lots of stuff i can push the price higher and higher, making it impossible at some point for others to keep buying from me and only the ones who started spending lots of money there end up being able to keep buying. Thats why price checks via ratio sites and xyz are stupid, everything on xyz is the stuff that has not been sold yet, meaning one cannot tell if it will in fact sell for that or not. Ratio sites are at times RMT controlled, some even link to orb selling sites. If you dont think it affects you, i pity you. |

" No, what I mean is you have to be able to describe what exactly makes you feel that the impact of RMT is significant. You must have expectations of what the game would be like without RMT, else you wouldn't feel as you feel. " See my response to him, this doesn't help us solve the problem at all. I'm not even discussing this point, it's common sense that RMT causes some form of inflation. I'm just saying that it's an insignificant amount. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

" Get your facts straight buddy. I'm gonna drop some facts on you. RMT sites sell HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of Eternals / Exalts / Divines etc. There are dozens of these sites running. I have a level 100 and multiple 90+ characters, so needless to say, I have played a lot of this game. And for that, I have had 1 Eternal drop for me. Just one.

Not really sure why anyone has pointed out the obvious.
You claim that inflation is caused by "hundreds of exalts entering the economy every day" Youre reasonable, im sure you can agree that a portion of those come purely from botting for the purpose of RMT. If RMT was absolute zero tolerance dont even start three sentences using those letters, that botting would decline quite a bit. The more profitable RMT is in PoE, the more bots running, the more exalts being introduced into the economy. RMT has to be pretty damn profitable here, nearly zero consequences for a playerbase that has already demonstrated their ability to throw thousands of dollars at things that glow. You may not be able to quantify the effect RMT has on inflation, but youd be a fool to think argue against this. "just for try, for see and for know"

" Yeah, sounds easy in a model with one legit player and one RMTer. I'm talking about the real economy in PoE though, with thousands of players. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

" What does this have to do with what I wrote? I stated a fact, do you want to debate it? You stated an estimation? I don't get it. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

Also had 1 eternal drop in several thousand hours of play.
Either that botting is real significant or everyone and their mother are selling currency to RMT sites. "just for try, for see and for know"
