Ok, so I can understand that it must be profitable for them to be doing it in the first place BUT I just cant seem to grasp how they do so.
This thought started with an rmt tell saying 1 million was $25US. Now over the last weekend I was able to farm and garden up around 600k worth of gil (mostly that was just my 4 gardening mules having a harvest) but for the life of me cant figure out how RMT do it.
Look at it this way,
1 million = $25
For it to be a workable business venture that $25 has to
pay for the computer
pay for the software (even if it is illegal)
maybe pay for rent of a business (going off what i saw on that rmt video)
Thats just the outlay to get into the game then they have to
Pay the actual rmt player for their time (hours and hours im assuming)
Pay the rmt player to either skill a craft or level up and or do dyna/gods/sea/sky etc which would again require many hours of lvling.
Chuck in other outlays like electricity and paying themselves and their staff/web desingers etc.
It just daunts me that as a business this venture does actually work. The only way I could think of a way to make this profitable is fishing bots but then that doesnt explain all the other "RMT" activities (if they are even real)
Anyone else have thoughts on this matter?
