RMAH is a very potent poison. Typically kills the game before it gets big.

The only thing you can sell on EVE is PLEXs (Game time items, that can also be destroyed in-game) for ISK. (The "gold" of EVE)

I think TF2 and Dota2 fall under RMAH. It is a little different, having to buy on the steam market but still.

2013-11-01, 02:41 AM #7DeletedYou can buy game time cards to sell in-game. So if you need in-game currency you can buy the game time to sell (It shows up as an item in-game that can be traded) or if you want to play the game for free(Paying with in-game currency), you can buy a game time card in-game.

weird I heard about some dude pulling off a scam in eve for a shit load of $$ like $100k if not more... I think I read about it on these forums...
-
2013-11-01, 02:49 AM #9DeletedNah. Biggest scam in EVE was for a lot less than that. Maybe 25,000 tops(As in that much in-game assets and money). Originally Posted by Skorpionss

I think its the whole p2w issue with RMAH. If it were limited to only vanity type items then what would be the problem with that?
RMAH could work if done right.

Steam does,. or most games with tradeable stuff on steam do.

2013-11-01, 06:49 PM #12DeletedYea but most game companies dont want to share the profits with players then, they can just sell then in microtransaction shop.. and most do that anyway. Originally Posted by Nathiest

2013-11-01, 07:01 PM #13DeletedWhen ever you hear about someone losing money in EVE, read the fine print, what they actually say is they lost this amount of money, as in game credits. With the ability to buy and sell game time within EVE, its very easy to work out how much in-game currency is worth how much RL currency. Thats why you always get people thinking that people lose a ridiculous amount of money in EVE, when it actuality they probably haven't lost any RL money. Originally Posted by Skorpionss

Hi, I too will miss the RMAH, it was cool to rid of some item for some cents, never made a big fortune that is. I have put for exploration TF2, EU and EVE, but as they are 3D with downloadable client, it is too demanding for now. You can as well test some browser games with RM auctions and trades, like My Lands and Golden Towns.

Biggest scam was when the executives of one of the larger banking corps walked away with about a trillion isk, which equates to $50k through the RMT feature. Originally Posted by Mycroft Holmes

Dota 2, CS:GO, TF2 have it in form of the steam market. It's only vanity items and skins though so it's not poison like D3 rmah.
