So what do you guys think about RMT.?
for me RMT never be good for the game, like the one who doing RMT will destroy the economy easily with their massive supply farming material. And also i see blizzard only taking lightly for not banning them… like u can easily tracking (the method only use guild bank or face to face) if they are doing RMT or not… prob in BFA or Legion it was taking seriously, you still can make profit from them like Ban> they will 100% buying
your game again = more profi.
it’s just my opinion~

most of them are bots and what it boils down to is the usual cheating arms race between blizzard and botting companies that blizz can’t win.
hmm… for me yeah it’s should take seriously cuz they are growing in massive population raight now just looking by how fast auction house price going down.
you can also search on YT: Farmhouse game di Bandung cukup Besar [ 2Lifegroups ]
like they are really recruiting someone for farming and pay them… blizzard should pay more attention for them to.

it’s kind of true tho… if you are talking about wotlk most of them prob bot, but if you talking about dragonflight most of them just a farmer… if you talking to them and they doesn’t talk back prob they don’t speak english or not understanding that.

that’s what i mean… i hear the rumor but i don’t really know if it’s was true or not about that farmhouse, if majority that RMT in dragonflight was them blizzard supposed to be easy to detec that when they do 1st selling and instanly ban them…
RMT? Reggie Management Theory? We do need to manage the Reggies. They can get a bit out of hand. Let’s come up with some good solutions. BLIZZARD!

As someone with considerable disposable income that has been put towards expensive hobbies in the past (things like multi hundred dollar mechanical keyboards), I think RMT is terrible no matter what form it’s in. Illicit, first-party, whatever, it’s all garbage.
My financial situation shouldn’t give me any advantage over e.g. a dead broke teenager in-game, whether that be in terms of access to content, speed of acquiring gear, skipping through content, or anything else. Our real life situations in general should have as little bearing on our player characters as possible. In Azeroth it doesn’t matter if you’re Jeff Bezos or a kid playing on couch change, we’re all murder hobos. If you want to distinguish yourself, do that purely with in-game means… don’t lean on your wallet.
Anyone caught involved in it should have their account deleted, first offense. By now there is no “I didn’t know it was against the rules” defense.

yeah totaly agree with that.
Blizzard is fine with it as long as they are in control. For example, the WoW Token.

but in other hand blizzard need to upgrade their system for detec them real quick after first sell ( just copy the algorythm from BFA and Legion cuz on that 2 expansion the ban rate for RMT are really high).
a lot of people doing that due of covid but right now they can go somewhere and find the job.
Rmt in general creates toxic communities. And blizzard does not act quickly or efficiently on it.
We run one of the larger m+ communities on horde. During BFA and shadowlands we were approached by most of the boosting communities to advertise their services (including huokan, gallywix and that other one that was popular in bfa I forget the name of) in exchange for a small % of the dollar cuts they got. Some even shared spreadsheets with us of their RMT and how much they made. We reported all of this, and it took years for them to act on Ang of the reports.
And we look at how they handle bots and banwaves. How dumb is that? If you take 3 months to ban people, theyve potentially made thousands of dollars. It is financially worth it to just do it again.
It creates a weird inflated economy , incentivises account hacking and leaves people who struggle financially in real life feeling left behind which defeats the purpose of escaping to virtual worlds

truee on BFA and Legion RMT not massive as it was right now, prob it’s time blizzard to check it their AI algoriythm.
i mean ok blizzard have an RMT like WOW Token was but that’s was a limited weekly… so if you talking about RMT that come from 3rd party yes it’s should be easily banable at least for the seller ( cuz prob the buyer was a whale for blizzard to)
lol dude wtf was that farmhouse thing man… that’s was really insane like they really recruiting someone to just farm wtf hahahahahaha.
Should it be taken lightly? What do you mean should? It already is.

100% agree blizzard need to bring their algorithem back like BFA or Legion man.
You ever talk to a booster that spams in trade. They link you to a RMT website. Blizzard thinks they are making money from boosters on tokens. But it a drop in a bathtub to what the boosters are making.
yeah i seems feel blizzard was taking lightly in dragonflight right now for RMT gold seller… they need to be more serious right now i guess.

That’s why tokens were made, so Blizz gets a cut.
