So for those who haven't been monitoring the situation, BSG is rapidly making ingame changes to fight RMT. The most obvious of which have been the FIR changes lately, then the FIR barter changes, and now they're changing up Keys which are being used to RMT.

The last few days have seen a lot of tweaks to keys like Factory Exit, Checkpoint, Oli/Idea Cash Register, and I'm sure some other miscellaneous high-dollar San keys.

But TL;DR if you ever try to jam a third factory key in your SICC and are upset that you can't, blame XiaoYinjing77. He's also the reason your Factory/Checkpoint key is 70K instead of 170K now.

Also don't be surprised if you see changes to the gammaability of key/treasure-holding items. IE not being able to gamma a SICC/Docs in raid, it might happen as that's how they RMT. Obviously though this is something I imagine BSG doesn't want to do as the community would go wild. 'What if I accidentally drop my SICC from gamma?'

BSG is ACTIVELY trying to solve the RMT issue in EFT and repetitively targeting RMT items, it's great news and deserves some recognition. Many games just sweep RMT under the rug and pretend it's not a problem when 50% of your playerbase are bots. Nikita said no.
