Sure it still hurts gameplay, but when it was sorta taboo buying plat online it didn't/won't hurt the economy as much as SOE condoning it and putting it out there for everyone to do. Before, you didn't speak much about it on the server and prices pretty much stayed continual. Once everyone is doing it then player vendors will seriously JACKUP prices for their goods because they know peeps have access to plat in game and online, by that time. Maybe SOE has a card up their sleave and is doing this, not to take control of online selling, but to level the playing field again for those that never bought plat online. Once everyone is doing it, the prices will level out again, but at a higher rate, then again, for the ones that don't want to buy items or plat, they will be the ones hurting in the end. Ok brain hurting, thinking about this too much, long live eqemu!
