Even lately, I've seen players online, and ingame actually trying to push thier credit sales over the shopping channels, for real cash, which to me is totally unacceptable in a RPG environment.
This type of problem can cause a great unbalance in the world, as low level players with RL rich pockets would have no problem at all with finding and affording practically anything they need. The sellers on these trade sites sell anywhere from 1 million to 300 million at a time to someone, for anywhere from 50$ to $500.
What is Funcom's regard to this?
Being a former GM of EverQuest, I was around the office when our money system of mostly Platinum was being sold on Ebay for real cash. In turn, Verant came in touch with Ebay, and requested anything remotely involved with EQ to be removed immediatly when posted. Back then, this was then fixed. I'm not sure if it's still fixed or not.
I would just like some feedback on this issue. Thanks.
Ok guys, official stance:
