A 2 second Google search pulls up plenty of RMT, so the question is are you just imagining or wishing for it?
So LE is robust enough to maintain all the RMT businesses, just what accidentally? You got anything backing up these claims?
But if RMT does happen it's OK because those trade players deserve it?
Also RMT to me is a double edged sword. It's convenient for the players who have limited time to play and a hassle to deal with if you are a dedicated player. Either way, my point still stands. You being sour about it doesn't change my experience or my ability to share it.
Your experience? Have you looked for RMT? I have never been to the United States of America, but I know it exists, more importantly I would not try to spin my experience as to inflate a situation when a 2 second google search would cast question at best on my "experience".
Its strange we went from no RMT to some RMT but not enough to ruin the economy like RMT does in every other game in the entirety of ever because LE is somehow magically insulated against it.
You can like RMT, hate RMT, excuse some RMT, tolerate no RMT, but its still there your experiences notwithstanding.
It is still there, its not really an issue. Me saying Not really expresses that RMT is not really a problem with LE. The game is set up in a friendlier capacity that players don't feel the need to buy stuff from chinese farmer sites. Last epoch also makes it harder to larger transactions. It requires more steps than other games to RMT, and I believe it is punished more severely if found out players are doing it.
The market requires items to be listed 100m or you must prepare exalted for more than 100m and then you need favor which is collected by playing the game.
A lot different from the level 1 accounts with billions of gold on d4 or chaos orbs on PoE. Just saying.
Strange given
Given how other features like family sharing caught stray crossfire due to RMT I find your "experiences" difficult to comprehend.
RMT as a business leads to things like botting, duping, and account hacking because that is basic supply and demand, but somehow a "little" RMT is ok and that makes LE "clean"? I think you would have a better position if you said something like: There is some RMT but its not rampant yet, who knows with season 2 though season 1 did cause some problems though, and you can avoid it by not engaging with trade.
No RMT was an option available as soon as trade went live, I know because I continually pointed it out. I often brought up the quote from the developer mike about how the steps taken to avoid RMT were far fewer then people would believe, juxtaposed against all of the RMT sites that a quick google search pulled up.
If you want to discuss the impact, that is a bit beyond this topic though, generally I agree with you it is "opt in" however that does not make such a ToS violation acceptable either.
