Ok, so say for example the GM's put up a vendor that would give you any item you want and all the plat you want.. since the availability for everyone to get the same item has increased, the value of each item decreases.. now for this example could you see anyone taking the risk to sell or buy items with real money? Of course not.. why? Everything is available, which means it's worthless since anyone can get anything. I have changed the supply of plat and items, and I'm fairly confidant that no RMT's would happen if this was the scenario that the server decided to do....

of course that would never happen because the integrity of the game would be gone... but that handles your RMT issues.. so lets start making Vendors that give away free plat and items.

Great, so you have introduced unlimited availability of items into this scenario in an attempt to prove that increasing the availability of plat is a good strategy to curb RMTs. ALSO, you have constructed a straw-man argument regarding a vendor that gives you any plat and item you want. I am starting to get an idea that economics and well... basic logic? aren't your strong point. Go back to you original argument and defend that, or attempt to defend this argument that is ridiculous on its face, I don't care, but pick one. You are an idiot. Look forward to your response.
