Some random comments on Chinese RMT ppl. I don’t have experience with any of the Chinese RMT ppl in game, but I did stumble into a RMT chat group when I was trying to find a Chinese community. From what I can tell, they do play the game when they are not botting, but the vast majority of them don’t know any usable level of English, so they get a lot of information from browser machine-translated BG wiki or ffxiclopedia. I asked them about why they choose to do RMT in this game(and in vain told them to stop and asked them to move to a shitty P2W cashgrab Chinese MMO instead). One guy answered that many of them don’t really like to play this game, but this game is profitable for them because it is not overran with big RMT botting sweatshops, which they can’t compete with, and they are just looking to earn some extra outside of work . I still don’t think it justify the rmt even though the economy of the country is ***and will be shitty for the foreseeable future, but I digress. Many of them just don’t see RMT as a problem and don’t give a ***about ToS, and I think it’s so wrong(I personally blame the those South Korean MMOs and the subsequent Chinese knockoffs popular in the early 2000s for this general mindset that seems to be the consensus in most of the MMO communities in China).
