Screenshot of someone buying items for $$$ seems blatantly obvious to me. Especially if you can verify said screenshot by going to the web page it was taken from.

You *really* think someone from Support (even someone as fucking awesome as Michael) is authorised to discuss this? Reaaaaaally?
In a real world corporate environment? No way.
In GGG's forum? Probably not, but I'd certainly never know if I didn't ask the question (to quote Ian Healy).#

Oh believe me, I know exactly what it means.
I could post how blatantly obvious it is, here. I'm sure you'd agree and take back what you wrote.
But it would be deleted in a flash.
Casually casual.

It's a good question but unfortunately not something I'm able to comment on.

The Eye of Sauron had its limitations too even in 'obvious' situations (those hobbits were on that mountain side under its nose for waaay too long) - hence why its good to have help.

I actually tested the idea of designing my unique item to facilitate self-found play.
The idea was that when you equip it you get a big buff to drop rates but everything you find is Perma Allocated and Account-Bound. It wasn't a perfect idea, in fact, probably not even very good, but I thought it could have been super interesting. Sadly, "no".

Surprisingly, it isn't! People tend to make stupid jokes about stupid things that they really shouldn't (see my Necronomicon joke above) and it's entirely possible that an interaction which looks like RMT from a screenshot is just someone joking, or worse, an attempt to frame a high-level player.

I'm curious about how you expect GGG to get access to this blatantly obvious evidence if the person who has it refuses to send it to them under the grounds that it's blatantly obvious.
Also, I find it awfully convenient that you have this blatantly obvious condemning evidence that you just can't share because it'll be removed. Maybe you could send it to, say, a mutually trusted middleman to have them verify your argument?

Like or not, this is what it comes down to: they're fighting a war you, me and everyone else who isn't in that office day after day will never know much about. Either you trust them to fight that war to their best of their ability (which, let's face it, so few of us do because we have no real idea about that war -- all we see are the terrorists, metaphorically speaking), or you don't.
And if you don't, I think that's a fundamental loss of trust between provider and customer. Might as well call it a day and go do something else. *Nothing* anyone says here is going to change how they wage this war, precisely we all speak from an angle that is, to some degree, ignorant.
Not that this is going to stop people from opening their mouths and shouting/crying/yelling/muttering. It's always easier to imagine the solution to the problem when you don't know all the variables.
I think that's right to a great extent. I have a huge degree of faith that GGG are doing everything they can within the limits they set for themselves (eg trade=core).
I don't agree that nothing anyone says here is going to alter how they wage that war (or any other war for that matter). What we provide is one element of the demand side of the equation. If we never gave feedback, how would they know what we thought?
