If a game is dominated by NON-OFFICIAL RMT, is it any less pay2win?

Firstly, please keep the thread civil, there's no need to antagonize other posters for contributing to it.

With that out of the way, colluding with RMT sites would ultimately be a very flawed and inefficient way to make the game pay to win, which is something we've never wanted to do anyway.

We would have to be comfortable sending our valued players through virus-ridden third party sites that we have no control or oversight over, nor any way to prevent them from stealing your personal information, in order to ultimately allow them to undermine the game for legitimate players. Aside from being probably 10 kinds of illegal across several countries, there really aren't any gameplay or financial reasons remotely good enough to make us consider doing it, even if any of us considered it ethically appropriate.

So rather than organizing an elaborate conspiracy we could just ban them whenever and wherever we can because not only is it less risky, but the game, and therefore everyone who contributed their time, effort and money to it (especially you guys) benefit from us doing so.

I've never really ran into any third-party RMT when I played Guild Wars 2, I imagine because the existence of an in-game system crowded out any 3rd-party organizations. Also, it's not nearly as big as WOW.

You must have been on a really (and I mean REALLY) unpopular server or something,GW2 was damnwell infested with third party RMT and it was blatantly displayed in every corner of the game.

There is no win, its not competative, you can create insanely strong characters without paying shit. THERE IS NO DIRECT COMPETITION EXCEPT FOR MINDLESS GRINDING THE LADDER.
