Asobimo and (possible) terrible business decisions

I agree with NightBreeze that Asobimo does work on the game's security. Here's asobimo's Asobi Coin, which makes transactions online secure between people, and helps to prevent the illegal copying of digital content. Asobi Coin is basically a cryptocurrency, to my understanding, that can be used as digital currency for digital content. Rather than just ban everything, they are working toward secure solutions to prevent RMT, hacking, and digital thievery.

The guy in the video on the front page described it as "a system that can give players a true sense of ownership", I am not completely sure of the company's goals with this, but I assume it is to generate more transactions as players will feel safe with the money they spend. I don't believe this prevents people from trading GPC, but it is an attempt at lessening the need for RMT sales, because this replaces the action. 

In the same way that a lot of people work for something in a video game, and want to sell it for profit, they call this the asobi market, in which people can exchange their items for this crypto currency that will work on other items outside of the game. I see it as similar to the "legalize marijuana" view (this is just in my mind as a comparison, please don't kill me) in which supporting this action of trading in-game items for an out-of-game currency will actually lower the amount of RMT scamming, and people now have more secure way than 3rd party GPC to do this. 

I suppose the idea lies in allowing players to keep the value of their in-game items they worked for, and allowing that value to extend beyond the game, into multiple types of media such as other games, music, manga, etc. as described on their white paper : asobimo.io/pdf/white_paper_en.pdf 
That link also mentions how reselling digital property can return a portion of the profits back to the rightful owners, such as publishers or original creators. Toward the bottom of that PDF, they mention how Asobi coins will be implemented in games such as Iruna, Toram, Avabel, and Alchemia. 

Anyway, please correct me if I have stated anything from their official site incorrectly, or made some wrong assumptions ^^

Never new about asobi, but would be pretty neat to see it in action.

As for banning rooted devices, they already have a security op that prevents players from playing the game. Then again, there are always ways to bypass it.

What we really just need is a GM who's active and there who can just ban ppl. JP doesnt haven a problem because they have active GMs, that's pretty much the solution tbh.

I mean at least this isn't Korea where you get arrested if you're caught cheating on online games.
