People trying to P2W path of exile are truly pitiful. I feel bad for them.

Considering GGG is owned by Tencent I would not be surprised if they are the ones running most of the RMT sites. You are correct that they have had a decade to fix this. I don't think they want too.

My thoughts exactly. These are their shell companies and another source of revenue.

We need ggg to step up their game
Ban bothers and cheaters and account sharing.
Even billionaires

How dare people try to circumvent the horrible practice of wasting peoples time. Why wont these horrible gamers just run thru giant mazes combing for a 1/300 item drop to do content? Why arnt people willing to grind mindless slop for 300 hours just to see 2 minutes of content? Are they lazy or evil?

Every time I put an item up for trade, I get immediately spammed by level 2 RMT bots with RMT site urls.
Thanks.

You are lucky.

I am getting spammed, even without listing. Just join trade 1, and wait for the PM.

To be honest, it is kind of expected.

Divines dropped in price. They are 100 for 45 euro now...

I mean, you can play the game for 100 hours and farm one Astramentis, or go to work for 8 hours and buy two amulets when you get home.

(I am ready to argue, if you even question who is making a smart, and who is making a stupid decision here)

But the real issue is not the average gamer.

The issue comes with GGG that WANTS this to happen.

Each bot farm with 100 account is giving them 3000 USD.

They will issue a ban wave at some point...
Then the bot farms will buy new accounts for 3000 USD.

The bot farms are making good money, GGG is making good money.
Everyone is winning.

Besides the average player, because if there is one person that is screwed it is exactly him...
