You guys know rampant RMT abuse comes from a shit economy, right?

I'm not sure if that is the case or not, but at least they have to work a bit harder to make their efforts pay off.

Considering the highest ranked domination player was banned for rmt I would have to wonder. But, we will never know because GGG will never release data on how and how many people are getting banned.

It has come to a point where the end game is only accessibly to rabid RMT'ers, profiteering crooks who profit off the greed and stupidity rmt'ers ad hold several thousand exalts worth of assets, and the few remaining people who through a combination of determined play and item flipping were able to amass enough wealth to barely compete with the above 2 groups. this is a sick and twisted game state.

but youre not talking about access to endgame, anyone can access endgame, you are talking about access to items that are close to perfect, items so far beyond what you need to faceroll a shrine with hard mods.

I bid on some boots recently, just an off chance bid of 18 exalts, they were at 50 within a day and god knows what they went for, no doubt 100+. I bought a different pair, they had 150 less armour and didnt have the 44 strength, but had 3 more life. that was the stat difference, I paid 12 exalts. I bid on a hat recently also, I bid 40 exalts + 6 exalts worth of items, turned down, nowhere near enough apparently, probably the guy wants 150ex for it I would guess. The hat would give me +40 es, + 22 int, +140 accuracy over my existing hat, my existing hat cost me 2 exalts. I have a 6 link, 1600 armour, 599 es tri res saintly chainmail that cost me a total of 75 exalts to buy with 4 stats and then eternal exalt the last 2. So saintly with an extra 100 armour and 20 es would cost me maybe 400 exalts to buy? If it could be bought at all? 100 armour and 20 es for an extra 325 exalts? an extra 22 int and 40 es for 148 exalts?

I dont think this is access to endgame, this is show gear whos stats are marginally beyond those that anyone can buy with a bit of mf grinding, because thats how I get my gear and my gear does the job.
