Do something against real money trading

[Nero]

its a joke that u can now buy exalted orbs for real money on diverse websites.

Do something against it!

Not sure there so much they can do. sure they can get rid of chat spam, ban people, and could try go for websites but another will just pop up. Unfortunately peoples greed ruins it for everyone I'm surprised GGG haven't added p2w to combat it.

Wow it took them this long to finally setup a website. Good to know whales exist in this game as well.

Why would they fight Tencent botfarms? :D

On a serious note, what exact steps do you expect them to take? Because I don't see what exactly they can do, without making situation massively worse in the progress. Massively worse for us, I mean. The players.

[IEATFETI]

well i dont see how it affects you/me so why complain about it

[JamboRambo]

Are you really that surprised ??

Literally ALL MMO games have this issue, and will ALWAYS have those problems no matter what.

If I'm not mistaken this was a thing for POE 1 as well.

[Homey]

every game has this unfortunatly, go ahead and try to stop it if you think its that easy

[FlyingTorcensoredWhale]

Notice how this game isn't even f2p yet, you need to pay to access. This means it's lucrative enough to suffer massive amount of bans anyway. Same thing happens in FFXIV - you can't trade anything as a F2P. You have to buy the game to do it. And they throw in waves on bans there for RMT.

Yet it still happen A LOT.

When PoE 2 goes fully f2p, it's going to get so much worse.

They could turn player trading off in one patch till can find a better solution.

But they won’t. Cos they know.

This has been a thing in POE1 for years and years, there is nothing they can do about the sites. All they can do is ban accounts doing RMT, and banning people who buy the RMT stuff (which they do), but the sites will always exist.

You don’t think you can bot a character to lvl 5? XD

Trials of sek or bust for that idea.

And the RMT affect a Joe Average me how exactly? I don't want the devs to be distracted by non-issues when the game is barely functional and need a lot of fixes.

dont tell him about d3 ring

It affecting me, because stuff like exalted orbs getting more rare for trade ingame, that mean more expensive. RMT is a real problem that ruin the ingame economy.
Trading was allways a poe thing and that get ruined.

So they should take legal actions against the websites, they could do it because it is their game.
