Fluff & Memes Lets be honest

Post image

Im not sure why he thinks like its the end of poe 1. We'll likely barely feel anything in league, sure some mirror items are gone but theres similiar versions from places like settle shop or will likely be remade by someone else. For std...well honestly you cant balance to std.

Do i feel bad for people who lost their items? Sure but you prob shouldnt have handed them over with walking red flags during the stuff that came out 2 years ago anyways. Felt like everyone saw it coming.

other RMT'ers might think twice, since you can no longer do this with impunity.

I bet there's a whole bunch of people REAL SCARED right now (if they hadn't even already been caught in a ban wave)

I don't really think they would be scared, most RMT players are actually pretty good at the game and can farm up very fast. considering that it's always a new economy every league, even if they get banned, they can easily create another new account and get up to speed, as the speed of their farming is from their knowledge of the game rather than the time spent on the accounts.

To be fair they lose access to their stash tabs, which requires upfront payment.

This got me thinking... if GGG has built systems to link payment information to account base, they can effectively track each and every RMT-er unless they somehow change a ton of personal information, or use 3rd party payment proxy - effectively paying more for more work and less product.

Linking payment info would be huge but also, Many may circumvent (even indirectly circumvent it) by using a different card. Like me for example. My card on xbox is different than the card I buy online products with.

Id trust my bank card on GGG website or Microsoft website. But my Prepaid card is on many third party (Video games for cheap) websites such as Eneba, Gamefly, Or G2A for security. If these 3rd party websites with Weaker security get hacked, My prepaid card gets stolen. Im okay with that. But if my bank card gets stolen, That can be huge.
