My big objection to those people is this:
There has never been a single documented case of anyone hijacking an account, in this MMO or any other, unless they were motivated by the potential of acquiring real-world money from it in some way, which is possible only if RMT exists.
These people are the sole motivation of a great deal of malware, keyloggers, and more, and I can't comprehend supporting them in any way.

Okay, fair enough. Still, the vast majority (>99%) are motivated by RMT scumbags. Also nearly all the MMO-related spam, etc.
Pretty much. That's why EVE is pretty free of third-party RMT.
RMT? Regie voor Maritiem Transport? Reliable Multicast Transport? Ready Made Trains? Registered Massage Therapist? Rockville Musical Theater?!

I appreciate the feedback. I was not aware that purchasing influence from 3rd parties was a violation of the Terms & Conditions. As a practice of good citizenship, I do work up to larger influences through missioning and selling @ Consignments. Personally, I think its unnecessary to give lower level toons Crafted-IOs when they haven't reached 50 because its a waste of influence, but that's just my opinion.
But once you get to level 50 (unless there's an event) activity seems to decrease, which is one reason that the Architect Edition was implemented. You go to PI or RWZ and all you see through Broadcast is things like: "lvl 50 def LFT" or "are there any mission teams"and so forth. So unless you have a solo'ng capable archetype or happen to log into the game and find a team, your chances for collecting rare recipes and IO's is slim.

I belong to about 8 or 9 channels not counting coalition chat. Almost always, that's where I get my teams. Broadcast is sort of a last resort for me. I do use it, but only when I have trouble finding a team in channel.
Are you in a super group or villain group?

You can log onto the busiest of servers, Virtue and Freedom and those comments get posted in Broadcast. I would go on to say that there may be others that feel as I do, but won't spend the time to debate the issue in a forum because truly they don't care.
There are a good deal of players who have lives (i.e. work, family, school, etc.) outside of the game, so they are not going to log in at different points of the day to try and find a team. Unfortunately, when they have the chance to, they will see those statements and may even say the same thing. Don't assume that your success rate of finding a team is another person's issue. When there are other variables at play, such as expansions, events, the awaiting of i19 for example, the amount of game activity will increase. But when the excitement has grown old, activity decreases. An alternative is joining an active SG where you don't have to worry about finding a team, because the members have their own internal events. Yet, you have a portion of COH/COV's population who are not apart of any SG or VG. |

).Triumph Watch (and/or Triumph Watch 2), and JFA2010 (IIRC that's the name of the one on Justice) get me all the team offers I'd ever want or need. Global channels really are the way to go. |

ETA: I appreciate that you don't want to spend *any* time on the market at all, which is obviously your prerogative. But if we're generalizing this to these hypothetical new players, then I think we have to take people who *might* be willing to use the market into account. |
