It would be dope to have a safe and EULA friendly way to sell EVE Characters for real currency. CCP could offer that in return get a handling fee like 10% of the value. Potentially also a good income stream for CCP.
Upon purchase the money goes to ccp. 10% is shaved off and the account officialy transfers to the new owner. Almost like average character bazaar trade.
So in recap :
Option to use real currency for character trading on the bazaar.
Handling fee charged by CCP.
Value based on Icelandic Crowns. (Ofc you get paid in your local currency)
50% trolls and 50% the new type of player CCP has encouraged with all this retention and recruitment they spent the last while changing EvE to accommodate
Would have been dope for all eve content but CCP chose another path. As others will tell you a rmt universe would not look like you think.
Even if CCP got to grips with its botting addiction TQ it would be safe to assume would be a miserable place for most with RMT.
I would have enjoyed it but open RMT would require several changes.
A) a bot ban
B) a fairly moderated cluster
CCP is unwilling to implement either of these things so RMT in eve is erradicated on sight in eve & for good reason.
CCP has dumped quadrillions of free assets to pets, do you know what the value of isk would be if RMT was openly allowed? You could assume to buy even a faction titan with the change in your sofa.
The only difference with my sugggestion is that the seller gets irl money instead of a potentially useless ingame currency. How is that p2w compared go the existing system ?
Edit : To balance the real currency value against ISK ccp can, as stated work on a comission / handling fee, to potentially always make the ingame currency the better option unless you really want those pounds, dollars, shekels, yen, euros or whatever
Mechanic is in place: buy plex => sell plex => use marketplace
I think it’s it now a business decision for CCP. I don’t think it will ever happen because now CCP get’s 100% cash from such transaction, why go down to 10% or 30%? Also most people can’t see trough current economic system so they would be outraged at CCP.
Thats a good point actualy.
I would assume the only upside is that ccp can cash in on the sale instead of currently where they can just cash in on the purchase
