Buying/Selling Gold Permanent Ban

in General Discussion
If you truly want ZERO pay2win, you need to really put your foot down on this. No 3 day ban or 1 week ban. Permanent ban for buying and selling gold. It's obviously difficult to track but just the threat alone will massively lower demand. Hopefully some method of IP and Hardware ID bans can help with botting as well.

    Yeah I just saw that video. I'm very glad they said basically everything I was hoping for.

    Permanent bans are fine as long as they have a strong arbitration group to prevent some of the messed-up errors that can occur.

    As long as you a have a fair review system yes, perma-ban is absolutely the way to go.

    You also need to make sure bots aren't a thing.

    I'm just not going to trade anything to anyone for the first month after release as they calibrate the permaban ruleset at scale. ;)

    This is what happened with New World. Players legitimately playing the game using in game mechanics that were in line with how the game was designed were hard banned with no warning and given no recourse for appeal. It came out of the blue for many- including those who simply did trades with those who were accused.

    I only care about RMT businesses. People buying and selling gold with their friends doesn't matter to me. Small scale RMT doesn't ruin economies. When RMT becomes the meta and websites like g2g are core to the actual gameplay that is when the game gets destroyed.

    That's why I don't tell my friends I have millions in gold because I'm too paranoid that I'll get banned when I share the wealth.
