The real question is, what is CCP going to allow?<br /><br /><br />After reading your response, I think I may need to start using the terms "sanctioned" and "unsanctioned". It would probably help if CCP were a little more open about the rules for Twitch streamers and their giveaways. I'm trying to be careful, because SOMERblink's first ISK laundering scheme actually followed CCP's rules. Players just didn't know what those rules were. Kind of like now.NoizyGamerhttp://nosygamer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-6228378172125409032015-06-17T22:51:20.256-05:002015-06-17T22:51:20.256-05:00I think a pretty good measuring stick for it works...I think a pretty good measuring stick for it works like this: Are you trading in game items, a chance at in game items, or giving an advantage to win in game items above and beyond others to people who hand you actual real life money? If there is a direct, or somewhat re-directed flow of cash and isk, you've got some form of RMT. Illicit? We can argue that point for a while, but you're trading real money, illicit or not. <br /><br />Somer got burned for giving blink credit (which only gave players a chance at collecting in game items) as RMT and was given a cease and desist. That C&D could have easily been a ban except for the poor judgement of certain devs that now work at Riot giving glowing endorsements of the service while they were conducting the practice. <br /><br />People can claim "murky TOS" all they want, but that's your smell test. If you're on twitch and in some way trading in game items for subscriber $$ or donation$, that's RMT. The only thing murky is how it gets dressed up and figuring out if there's a connection between money and game item flow.FunkyBaconnoreply@blogger.com
