Yeah that's kind of what baffles me as well... With population topping out around 1k at peek I have a hard time believing there's that many RMT buyers... |
Well I think two things are at play,
1) controlling the value of rare items by hoarding rare, no longer dropping items. If someone wants a manastone they can RMT it or they can pay an inflated plat price. It also makes it so if he needed plat (which apparently he was pretty good on) it would be somewhat easy to liquidate since he had the majority of the available rare items.
2) The game is about pixels, so who wouldn't want to have a bag full of rare shit? I would imagine hoarding items becomes kind of an addiction (Stabby said as much himself).
The real question is who buys all this shit? I have a good job and if I wanted to I could drop $200 on plat but geeze, it is a god damn emu! I can understand a new player RMTing a few thousand plat to get started but who the heck is driving the market for items worth hundreds of thousands of plat. My only guess is the major business was moving plat and the items were all considered investments.
