Currently not playing the game at retail, but am interested in purchasing for very casual play and customisation thanks to unlimited social district time.
 
Was wondering if someone could clue me in on a few things. I've read its around 280 RTW points for 20 hours gametime. Also I know you can earn RTW points from auctions (obviously the stuff you sell has to be top rate as people are paying either real money or hard earned points for this stuff)
 
What sort of investment would it take to get 20 hours gametime out of the RTW auction house? Would I need to pay with RTW points to even begin manufacturing stuff to sell on there or does that side just use in game currency.
 
This game would appeal to me a lot more if I was secure in the knowledge that the time I used to spend in the editors would allow me to essentially play for free. Any help/feedback on this by people who pay for their gametime this way or have tried would be greatly appreciated.
 
To give you an idea of some of the 'fast' stuff I worked on during earlyish beta, heres a screenshot of a tag I made in about an hour. <3 stencil art
 

I've only seen ridiculous asking prices for RTW Points auctions. It is very hard to sell anything just for in-game dollars because you can only post things for a day before the stuff is returned for you to try again. If you repost every day, you have a better exposure, but the auction kiosk is always flooded with crap (and multiple copies of it) that you have to sift through. It takes a long time to load previews and they're a small, low quality preview. The filters aren't great either, and there's no rating system. The best thing you can do is stumble across a username that has good content, then just filter it to show their work. 
  
Here are some details, to the best of my knowledge:

• It is free to post auctions
• A fee is charged for successful auctions (I think it's just a percentage, but I've never sold anything)
• RTW Points are only used to redeem for action time or auction with (in-game cash is used for everything else)
• Expired auctions return the items via in-game mail 
• Worn items must be "refurbished" before auctioned (a VERY small in-game cash fee) 
• Items may be duplicated for in-game cash fees (varies depending on rarity of item) 
• Designs are duplicated for free
• Designs can only be edited by the original creator (their name is attached to it forever) 
• Unfortunately, you have a limited number of spaces to store items and designs on your person, so you may have to juggle with your mail. 

If you advertise your stuff in social district track, you are more likely to sell stuff. You can only filter stuff by category when searching but you can search for a specific persons auctions. 
 
Ive made 96 RTW points so far, all ive sold is 3 weapons. Its getting harder now that the original 100 rtw points every had are running out. I dont think the majority are going to buy more other than for their own gametime. Sales tax means the amount of RTW points in circulation will always go down.
