people LOVE real money economy, and since it is already a massive thing in poe, why not capitalise on it (but then you really would have to stop botting of course or it doesn't work). game would still technically be free to play, so no problem there. money would only be exchanged between players with a very limited rake (or none at all even)
There are serious cross-border/nation taxation issues that arise from making real money in a vidya game that has a global wingspan.
Contrary to all the people holding up D3 RM Auction house as the reason why an AH won't work here, these global implications were a large reason why Blizzard shut down their money-making machine.

I can only say entropia universe has been doing it for 15 years, and they are located in sweden, not exactly the most lawless place on earth (you can't even have sex there anymore and be 100% sure it's not actually a "rape"!). and it has players from all over the world. maybe fire some of the water effects guys and ggg can afford to hire a few layers instead. it is definitely possible and would make ggg a fortune (but then again, so would ditching temp leagues do)
PS: if ggg isn't banning all botters, just use occam's razor. maybe it wouldn't be beneficial to them
PPS: solve a captcha on map loadup?
since I have no hope for significant game design improvements in this game I am officially done with Path of Exile. done for good Last edited by LMTR14#6725 on Oct 15, 2018, 11:36:01 AM

Sad :(
What can they do exactly? Game is f2p.
You just solved scooby do mystery. All the idiots whine same think over and over again "dont complain, its f2p game"..
If this game costed 60€ and gave actual benefits, not few skins, then there would be A LOT less bots.. 90% of bots would be reduced.
I dislike rarity so much im almost quitting poe2. GGG.

Chris has mentioned that the game costing 5$ would solve a lot of problems for them, but since they designed the system the way they did it isnt gonna happen.

Stopping bots is very difficult even for blizzord, can't blame ggg for struggling.

stoping bots is very easy... ban all bots and ALL accounts which gets profits from those accounts (and more in cascade)
it will hurt? yes
it will help game? yes
why dont do that? its easy to find those accs? cus its lots of work and probably lots of those accounts made profit for ggg... stashes etc

It doesn't even matter. They just make new accounts after every ban.
A more permanent solution, would be to have drops link'd to events that bots would have a hard time completing.
And even that would cause problems, because some players...aren't exactly bright themselves.

One thing we can agree on - pay 2 play games are much superior to free 2 play.
