The more PLEX they sell, the better even, because each legitimately sold PLEX means money into CCPs coffers.<br /><br />It was Somer which closed the loop between real money flowing into their wallets (not CCPs), in return for in-game items (ISK in this case).<br /><br /><br /><br />In a way it's ingenious: a regular RMT operation has to pay their farmers some compensation for their efforts; the ISK sold by Somer on the other hand was given to them freely.Druur Monakhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-28790595301439797292014-08-20T03:28:43.920-05:002014-08-20T03:28:43.920-05:00Well its a good thing we got rid of that game dest...Well its a good thing we got rid of that game destroying rmt wow...well all those player events didn't need extra plex anyway. yeah the community is way better off now.....imo if its not hurting the game its not rmt......oh and is tmc rmt because they pay their writers with isk to make money off ads???

Or maybe yet another new unique ship to sell off again.Pitchfork Vendornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-31307243813882164372014-08-19T09:12:18.826-05:002014-08-19T09:12:18.826-05:00"The ETC seller just uses the buyback program..."The ETC seller just uses the buyback program as a bonus incentive and makes no money from handing out bonus isk."<br /><br />If the incentive gets him more customers that normally wouldn't buy their ETC from him, then yes he is making money from handing out isk.
