    I do not have issues with Port selling gold which we can get by time invested into the game (even though I would like those amounts to be reasonably capped per day). The thing I have issue with is selling special currency unavailable in the game (I have not got single crown yet from doing stuff in the game) that can be used for fairly basic stuff like repairs of the gear. Or special potions alchemists are unlikely to be able to craft.

    Why? They're not running a site that violates the game rules. No need for Blackstone's Tax Office.

    That was really funny.

    So here's an accounting question for you, Blake. How do you balance your books when on one side of the ledger you've sold off the vast majority of your assets at a discount but on the other side you only have a forum account and a lot of opinions? Are you in the black or in the red? ;)

    I kind of miss you being around here, Blake. But I hope you didn't come back only to haunt the game like some of these other guys.

    In all honesty I did write off my losses on my taxes. I had an Llc for SotA. And nah, I try to keep my opinions to myself now. I just chimed in bc it really has nothing to do with Ports decision. Although, I do think that should be the topic of a real discussion(one I won't take part in).

    I think everyone knows my opinions on RMT. :)

    I've only seen one poster on these forums so far that I would suspect is guilty of what the OP suggests. One out of however many thousands, that's not so bad. :)

    In particular, someone who argued against lowering the value of COTO's to zero gold, in-game and/or argued in favor of raising the price of them so they would have more value to NPC's, in-game.

    I wasn't trying to suggest that there was an army of gold farmers posting here. :)

    I was suggesting that some very vocal people had an agenda. That bothers me, I think it stokes the fires with false narratives like "we were promised in the kickstarter, blah blah blah" and I really dislike that. If people don't like something they should have a voice, but that voice should be based on facts, not twisted logic and lies. You can't debate against someone telling you the sky is green over and over again.

    Well, I paid $1600 to play a game. That's a lot of money. And now, you have to buy coins to be competitive? That stinks. I don't believe for one second that the drop rate from playing the game will be at all reasonable. But, theyre here to stay, so I guess we are just SOL.

    I don't plan on using those coins to repair anything or buy any potions. Are you suggesting I can't be competitive?

    The coins and the potions don't make you a god.
