No i just don’t believe you should permaban someone for making a mistake once. They are actual players that most likely spend more money legitimately in game to than the majority of you. Give them a slap on the wrist and get progressively more severe.
Focus on getting rid of the bots that should be the priority.
In RMTing, business is over when you have no more customers, if you punish them severely, they will think twice before doing it again… That means: decrease in demand… so decrease in supply (or near complete extermination of bots in this case)
But well, you wont see it, so, be happy, hope all rmts get banned, and probably would check your account, you are sus for real.
This method has proven not to work. You lose players decrease in demand obviously. What happens if you keep losing players the game dies.
But the crazy thing about supply demand is that if the demand isn’t there they just lower prices until the demand is there. Lets just say the price to buy gold is $1 for 1000g. If the demand dropped and now its $0.10 for 1000 gold that’s a entirely new set of customers they have. People will find way to rmt and be undetected so why not go after the source instead. Go after the bots so that people can play the game. Bots are causing more harm than just gold RMT.
Yes I’m sus cuz I’m a F2P 1470 gunslinger with 3x3x1 engravings.
If the lower prices, its not profitable anymore. Even if it still remains profitable, you lost the interest in lots of botters. You also have people thinking they can lose their account, so the probably wont do it anyeay. So you have 3 more barriers to come across.
The fk you are talking, cmon. Where has this been proven? How was this proven? When was this proven? Cmon, you full of sht.
The price was an example.
The method has been proven in real life not to work. Ever hear about the war on drugs. Where they thought the same thing? Lets get rid of all the drug users and the drug dealers would disappear due to lack of demand. The spent hundreds of millions incarcerating people on drug charges even weed. They put them in prison for a decade which costs them addition hundreds of millions. Guess what the drugs kept flowing and new people started buying. They spent hundreds of millions in tax money to do nothing but lock up people for various drugs including weed which is now being legalized in many states. So yes it has been proven not to work you want to stop RMT? Stop it at the source go after the dealers and cartels not the users.
I read enough lol. This isnt a “real life problem” and is NOT a really good case to interpolate with the game. Nor dealers nor consumers injects lots of NEW currency to the market. The consumers dont affect the whole economy by buying… REALLY, LOL. Your point is SO FLAWED. Next.

I would say Ru-LostArk method vs RMT is best:
No ban, instead -gold (twice amount of RMTed gold). Then they will often buy royal crystals to get back to +
Yeah I dont care. As long as they get a REALLY GOOD PUNISHMENT.
You seem to think its flawed but the example is almost exactly the same situation. You have dealers the Bot companies and you have users the players that RMT. Which do you try to get rid of. Which is easier to detect and fairly asses and give the appropriate punishment.
Bots aren’t real players they should do everything in their power to focus on removing bots. Give the RMTers are different penalty but not a perma ban because they did it for various reasons which could have been avoided if they removed the bots earlier before it became a massive problem.
What is wrong with enforcing the TOS? If you are a grown ass human you should be able to take accountability for your decisions.
Yes destroy the source of the problem, but also deal with offenders. I like the idea of 3 month bans. The offenders should not feel compelled to start over since they have investment in a character that will be available to play within a certain time period. Starting over would be a waste for them while also not eliminating a customer for the company.
Nothing wrong with it. Just my opinion that permabanning someone for making a mistake is not a good. Especially if they generally play the game and support the game. I would much rather AGS focus on stopping bots which they seem to be doing so I’m happy with that.
Yeah take accountability for your actions take a suspension or get your account rolled back to pre purchase but a perma ban is pretty extreme.
both
damn I really made a mistake buying counterfeit dollars on the deep web, please officer be kind to me, wrist slap + 3 days ban is enough é_è. I promise I wont do it again

Using bots or buying gold from Chinese sellers is not a mistake. It’s something that they did on purpose. Perma ban is what they deserve. Even if they bought 1000 gold.

I guess making a bad decision never happens everyones perfect. Drug addicts shouldn’t be a thing, alcoholics should not exist, you should never die in game.
It is a bad decision which in turn is a mistake. The same way people make bad decisions in life doesn’t mean that doing crack one time should ruin your life forever. You guys act high and mighty like you’re perfect but I’m sure you’ve done things you’ve regretted.
Then we should release everyone from prison that had their first crime because it was a mistake. Right ?
And doing drugs will ruin your life forever
Yeah they actually did this and release people that were incarcerated during the war on drugs.
Lol care to prove my point even more?
