Yes, of course, how could I forget that I give my friends tens or even hundreds of thousands of gold every time they need to repair or buy a few flasks.
And âeveryoneâ knows that Blizzard can´t possibly see the difference between someone in teh same guild /B-net friends or regularly playing together and a completely random person that has never been interacted with before in the history of the account, much less track the activity of the person âgiftingâ such sums to be doing it on a regular basis
There are millions of shades and colors between pure white and vantablack, I recommend you consider acknowledging their existence
You can give out gold to people just because you feel like it, iâve seen dozens and dozens give out gold to streamers in game without having any prior interaction with them for example.
And you can be in the same guild as a RMTâer, organize it outside the game and do the trade.
By your definition, the first example should be banned and the second shouldnât, as you mentioned, not everything is black and white, and that is precisely why your suggestion is idiotic.
You literally countered yourself within two posts.
Your suggestion is only good until it happens to you, then itâs blizzardâs fault for clearly not knowing youâre a very legit player amirite.
Not at all, because IMO If you know that you´re in the same guild as an RMTer, which aour example assumes, you´re already part of the problem yourself. Becasue simply by continuing to play with them you are already effectively saying âI´m ok with what you´re doingâ, which makes you complicit in their activity.
You can try to justify RMT any way you want, that will change nothing about my opinion that all accounts that ever engaged in it should be permanently deleted and all the gold removed no matter, who´s account it´s currently on.
The only thing I have to âfearâ, as well as everyone I´ve played with over the past 18 years, is the loss of some if the illicitly traded gold that was unnecessarily inflating the economy and thereby found it´s way onto our accounts through the AH⌠good riddance to it.
When did I ever try to justify RMT ?
Seems to me youâre grasping at straws because you canât admit your suggestion is extremely flawed.
Also, I gave a very clear example of RMT that wouldnât be assumed to be one by your very own words:
Youâre trying to distort it into something completely different, my examples were following your very own logic and looked at from blizzardâs point of view.
You may know youâre in the same guild as a RMTâer, but how would blizzard know ? Thatâs what I am putting into question here, you canât go willy nilly banning people without appeals or proof, if not banning bots is a major problem, banning real players is an equally major one.
I think we both agree that RMT and botting ruins the game, especially classic, I just donât agree with your scorched earth ideology.
I have suggested in some other post something similar so I wonât really repeat myself, but Blizzard can definetely implement in-game roadblocks to demotivate botting and therefore a huge chunk of RMT market as a whole, banning random people based on âmaybesâ isnât the solution.
Only if one assumes them to be completely incompetent and diesnt know what information is readily available in Atlastools (the Interface GMs use to interact with players, at least up until a few years ago)⌠If they can tell you verbatim every word you typed in chat in teh last 90 days down to the second, who you were in a group with, when, and what you were doing together, etc, it´s not exaxctly a logical stretch to âassumeâ that they also know every gold transaction you were involved with in the same timeframe and with whomâŚ
Well, actually, they absolutely could if they wanted to, because you do not âownâ anything here, or have and ârightsâ⌠you pay for the privelege to use their service as long as they see fit, subject to change at any time and for any reason they see fit, period. But that is jsut the legal side of it, without considering the possible damagte to he game.
Just as I have explained elsewhere in more depth than most players will ever read why Botting is not anywhere near as cut and dry a subject as most players assume⌠I don´t expect you to search for it, just as you hopefully don´t expect me to search for yours
Yes, on this we agree. But IMO the earth has long been burned to a crisp and thoroughly salted, by the players themselves that engaged in these activites. THe only way to quell it at this point is with radical measures. I did not at any point say nor imply that they would be without collateral damageâŚ
but if a fox is in the henhouse eating chickens, is the chicken it´s already got in it´s mouth really the main concern, or the ones still alive cowering in the corner?
