I am saying RMT does not hurt the player.
Yes, it does. Back during "Unholy Rage" ccp banned 2% of EVE's population for botting (and we all know botting is highly correlated to RMTing)....and watched the games overall cpu usage drop 30%. The change was noticeable for players (like me), hell CCP even has a graph somewhere showing fewer disconnects/ drops as a direct result (in a dev blog about unholy rage).
RMT injects isk into the system that would not otherwise exist (as again RMTing is highly correlated with botting, it can be assumed that without RMTing the only botting that would be done would be by the minority of botters who use botted isk for actual in game purposes). Too much isk means new players coming in trying to build and sell stuff are at a measurably higher disadvantage to veteran builders and sellers than they would naturally be.
RMT denies CCP revenue. The Revenue CCP could have gotten were it not for RMTing could have gone to more staff to add more stuff the the game faster, or could have in other ways benefited the EVE player (such as CCP lowering it's subscription price for EVE online).
It's not just game companies that get hurt by RMT. |

I just realized... those are prisoners being forced to play on the computer.
How terrible. They should stop at breaking rocks or finding the soft spot on a tank or something. How dare they be forced to play on a computer!
I guess you didn't read the linked article. Here, let me help.
Quote:"If I couldn't complete my work quota, they would punish me physically. They would make me stand with my hands raised in the air and after I returned to my dormitory they would beat me with plastic pipes. We kept playing until we could barely see things," he said.
Yea, that sounds like a walk in the park. |

So only bots who RMT'd were banned?
I started top reply then stopped myself, because you're doing what you usually do. You know I didn't say any such thing, I typed plain English and never once suggested the thing I just quoted from you. You get lost in the details (skewed by your own imo rather ocd perceptions) and all it ever does is end up in a stupid circular argument. As I don't have the patience of Tippia, i'm not playing lol.
