Selling Inf on the market won't help stop RMTers, in fact it'll probably make it worse because they *can* farm 24/7 and then re-sell the inf at just below the market price which makes it much more attractive because you know that you're getting a good deal (as opposed to the fairly nebulous pricing at the moment).|

You already sell some IO's in the Store (which I have made good use from some of them) so I doubt selling Inf would make a great deal of difference in that regard, however it'll be a massive help for players like me who cannot spend 20 hours farming in the AE for 1 or 2 IO's. |
Not only that, but it would inevitably lead to massive inflation, which means you'd be exactly as badly off as you are now. If you could just buy inf at will then all the recipe and IO prices would rapidly skyrocket and you'd only be able to afford the best gear if you could literally afford to pay real money it, because no amount of farming would allow you to catch up with someone rich.
Edit: Also, if you're taking 20 hours in the AE to get 1 or 2 IOs then you're doing it wrong. All the non-Purple, non-PvP IOs can be had for 1 or 2 HVM which are available once every 40 hours per character for around 2 hours work. Convert 2 merits into one LoTG Recharge, Kinetic Combat or similar high-value recipe and sell it for 100+ million, which will quickly allow you to afford whatever you want.

I've seen RMT spam and gotten emails offering 2 billion inf as low as $9.99. They don't give a damn how cheaply they have to sell it as long as they get your credit card numbers.

I hate to tell you be they were there long before all this. The only reason you didn't see them was that NCSoft did away with temp accounts before the roll out of i21. Now that the RMT spammers can get all the free accounts they want again, they have returned to their old spots in WW. Selling inf in the store wouldn't do anything to stop them.

Actually I suspect (and hope) that they are just using old accounts rather than starting new ones and that hopefully once these get banned they will lose access to broadcasts.|
