Re: Accounts Banned (Apr. 25)
While in the hands of RMT I can agree that it's not really effecting inflation. But when a player buys 5,10 or 15 million gil, that can serious effect inflation. They are likely the type of people that spend a lot of gil fast, creating a "false" demand for a product.
As a crafter I usually save all my crystals, but when I need a stack of fire crystals, I start bidding at 300, and move up in increments till I get the lowest priced stack on the AH. I do the same with gear and consumables for my jobs as well. But a person who doesn't put in the time to farm thier gil and therefore understand the value of thier gil, will just pay about the price of the last sold item. They'll pay way to much for HQ pieces, making it harder for legit players to acquire items.
Not only that, RMTs activities to aquire the gil hurts the economy. It's hard for a crafter to sell thier wares when there's an RMT crafter pumping out the same items 24/7. Or near impossible to get an O. Kote when there's an RMT bot standing there camping the NM. Or aquire anything from a drop that RMT's monopolize.
There actions make it harder for legit players to make gil, and therefore encourage frustrated players to just buy thier gil. In the mean time, those players are causing inflation with thier bought gil (and probably putting some of the gil back into the hands of RMT to sell again).
I like knowing how much gil they remove, it's kind of like a standard of how effective thier efforts were. It may not of been causing inflation at the time, but it would of if they weren't banned and was sold to someone playing the game that would ultimatly blow it at the closest AH.
