F2P is legal as its the company itself that makes the transactions, which is more an ethical question based on the model itself. As their model is based around rented items and not producing curreny from thin air.

What if everybody thought that way about walmart?

What if everyone stole from walmart with the thought oh they make millions its ok. Then walmart would cease to make money, the company would go under and welfare of those who worked for it would be in limbo.
The parallel you're making between doing RMT on a live server and stealing from Walmart doesn't really work, at all.

I traded a manastone on the silk road for a full bottle of 30mg adderall.

Why are people allowed to trade/sell characters if it's not for RL cash? That sort of thing is worse for the players than being able to purchase pp. Both should be bannable offenses.

It's sad seeing it happen, especially here on the official forums.

I think the GMs/Devs here should set up sting operations on said RMT sites and bust the buyers.

Not really. How does people being able to buy characters in exchange for plat negatively affect you or anyone?

I look at RMT for coin the same way, not sure how anyone can think otherwise.

What's the P99 devs view on players who trade P99 pixels for pixels in another game where RMT is allowed, thus doing P99 RMT through a transformer?

i.e. money laundering
