Hi there,

I strongly agree that RMT is always a bad thing for MMORPGs. Amongst other things it completely devalues the achievements of those who play the game without resorting to using real money to progress.

On that subject I'm interested to know what you think of EVE going RMT now? With CCP-protected sales of Game Time Cards for isk plus the (again protected) sales of characters for isk you can now play EVE solely through RMT.

To make it worse CCP are supressing any discussion of this issue on their forums. Any threads talking about it get locked by the mods very quickly and pointed at this reply from kieron claiming it was a mistake but that they're not going to do anything about it. In contrast there's this outburst from GM Arkanon (posted 2 months AFTER kieron's admission) declaring all RMT to be cheating and saying it will not be tolerated.

I'm a big supporter of CCP and EVE but I really think that this is going to kill the only MMORPG out there which has tried to be different.
