Is pantheon going to sell tradable gametime to legitimize RMT(real money transaction) or have a task force for fighting gold farmers?
There have been other post so far pointing out people buying items or "loot rights" to major in game items through use of krono(or other legitimized RMT's) in other mmo's
Either way it's not an easy problem. I dont know of any game that has actually solved the issue of gold farming without resorting to legitimizing RMT
I don't know their official stance.. but I would guess they'll probably be fighting them. I dislike all forms of RMT and if they do go down the route of "fighting" them.. I will 100% support/back them in anyway I can.
A friend of mine suggested a long time ago.. "Why not just ban the credit card number/paypal account too? etc; instead of just the account/IP." - I thought it was a good idea; not sure how good it would be tho.
We have a lot of threads that cover these topics, I found a bunch by using the search function for "Krono" and I will link a few below as this thread will need to be closed, please use the search function prior to creating a new thread as more often than not you will find that your topic idea has already been discussed in the last 3 years of development.

I will not be linking the Gold Farmer threads as there are too many and usually end in being locked.
