In-Game currency in endless

[Skittlez]

And because as such, I just don't see the big deal. Someone earned the plat, then they distribute it among people that are willing to pay for it. The plat was and still is in the economy so why do you fellas make such a big deal about it ruining the game?

RMT has I dunno.. Only been around since Online RPG's and I don't and have never seen a game ruined by RMT. Certainly isn't being ruined now, and certainly won't in the future.

You white knights make me sick. If you really wanna make a big deal out of something, why not point out how 90% of the population here Pirated the Titanium Client off some Torrent hosting site. Now that is SUPER illegal and can lead to serious legal ramifications in RL, where as saying screw it, I'll spend $20 for 10k gets a stern head shake/finger wag in the virtual world and potential banning, but nothing else.

Just m2c from someone who doesn't care to spend a small amount of money on a game, post buying the retail copy.

Are you blind? Every MMO was destroyed by RMT. Paying to be ahead is just that. Paying to be ahead. If everyone paid to be ahead we'd all be dead even doing nothing and acquiring nothing. Makes the game meaningless get it?

Lol, please, show me proof of these MMO's that were destroyed by RMT.

I work my ass off for my money, 60+ hours a week. When and if I find the time to play I still like to be competitive or a contender. In my eyes that's just the same as working my ass off in-game, except I am putting my time in to the REAL world. If I decide to spend some of my hard earned cash to help me get to the end of a game at a faster rate, so I can compete, then what's the big fucking deal?

This isn't Pay to Win, it's Pay to be able to play.

[Lamil]

How is the Plat still in the economy if they banned the accounts? 400 accounts must have taken some out of the economy.

Also you fuck heads buying plat make me sick and the fact you keep bringing up pirated software or copyright infringement is laughable. I may have pirated the software now but I had bought how many of their fucking disks back in the day to play?

Titanium client is so ancient I can't believe Sony doesn't just have a free download of it. The only copies being traded were published years ago and are just resold as used. Its not like they are making money off it anymore.

Huh? Buying plat makes you neither.

If you want to compete, join a real guild and compete. If you want to be a contender, play the actual game and contend.

You're just being dishonest with yourself. You bought pixels because for some reason you felt inferior without them. This is likely a trend which likely pervades your life outside Norrath, too.

When people quit/stop playing its supposed to act as a plat sink. When this inactive plat goes back into the economy it devalues plat.

Open your mind's eye and realize that I am not talking about the 400 banned accounts. I think that's pretty obvious.

Also, what are you talking about that I 'Keep bringing up pirated software'? As much as I browse these forums I don't think I have ever seen someone make any kind of deal out of this. Speaking of this, shouldn't you have to buy the game if you want to play it? You should have to, but that doesn't mean by any means that people do.

The exact same thing can be said for buying in game currency. Shouldn't you have to work in-game for your plat or items? Yes, but that does not mean that everyone is going to or has the time to. So in that case, we, the people who work for real currency IRL, who put in hours of time to get paid and don't have the sheer time to commit like a bunch of the people here, take advantage of a way to help us speed up the process to reaching the end game. By no means do we just 'Win'. It just helps out.

Hardly. I have always supported RMT, for any game. Why? Because it's not a big deal. Btw, even if I hadn't RMT on this server, I would still support those that did. One of my accounts getting banned hardly has me vouching for RMT. I have been buying small amounts of currency in games for years now, and I always will. More than likely I won't here again since I have openly came out as a RMT and will surely be banned, but that's alright.

Lol, crazy poor examples. WoW especially isn't going any where. With just people that I work with, 3 of them are waiting for that WoW expansion so they can play again and not have to deal with all the bull shit before the end game. Though they and I are planning to take advantage of the instant level so we can hop straight in to end game PvP.

[harnold]

The devs here dont want to run a shitty game where you can pay to win and they wont. Why there is even people debating this is beyond me. There are plenty of pay to win games out there to get your game genie fix. P99 is as legit of an mmo experience you can get nowadays and no amount of terrible arguments for RMT will change that.

[harnold]

WoW must be such a great game is 99% of the people playing just want to skip to the end lol

RMT is classic as fuck, bro. Lol, and EverQuest is by no means a 'Pay to Win' game, haha.

It's ludicrous that any of you would even say that. You can be twink as hell in this game and still have just as hard of a time as anyone else. How do I know this? Because when I started here I had nothing, leveled my characters up to mid 30's to quest for their class armor with nothing other than bronze armor, then decided to buy a small amount of plat to help speed up this process with other characters. Turns out that having above avg gear for low levels doesn't help out as much as you haters are making it seem. How do I know this? Because I have done the grind with and without good items.

Shit is still the same, either way. The only difference is that RMT eases the pain slightly.

[Sarkhan]

There are a lot of reasons that I don't like RMT, but none of that matters to people who RMT. So instead of listing reasons that I think RMT is bad, I will give just one reason that I think should be pretty obvious.

They keep the server running and RMT is one of the things that could get the server shut down. Plain and simple.

[sulpher01]

I smile every time I see skittlez new sig with so few chars. :D

[Glenzig]

This thread is sad and hilarious at the same time.

[Skittlez]

WoW must be such a great game is 99% of the people playing just want to skip to the end lol

99% of the people have already experienced the grind to max level, and this expansion isn't going to prevent new players from experiencing the grind them selves. At this point in WoW's life nearly every player has a minimum of one alt that is max level. WoW is about the End Game, and always has been as far as I have understood and that's certainly not changing now. People want to get to the end and not have to rerun through all the quest boxes that they have already done.

[sanforce]

I see RMT as an inevitable evil. As soon as people place a value on something, then market forces will determine some sort of exchange rate. Of course it is going to happen and will continue to happen.

But, just as money laundering is illegal in the real world, RMT is illegal here. Nobody is going to stop you from doing it, but you sign up for the consequences as soon as you do.

[Barkingturtle]

The only difference is that RMT eases the pain slightly.

How so?

By getting your characters banned? Removing the ones which were too difficult for you to play without cheating?

[mtb tripper]

I could have responded to many things you said but this one makes me lol a bit. Your right. A lvl 10 monk 100k+ geared can have just as hard of a time as a monk with 200pp worth of gear if they were retarded or were missing enough fingers required to use their keyboard.

Exactly. There are so many examples of this that we could compare but in the end it's all the same and is just a risk that people are willing to take. I am by no means trying to defend my self, I knew the risk from the start and I will take the repercussions of that choice like a man. I am just giving my thoughts on this whole subject because it's quite the topic right now.

[justin2090]

I don't think you buying plat hurts the server. It's people you buy it from that hurts the server. Suppliers like platlord don't play the game and farm plat. Most of their plat is earned by outright cheating like duping or hacking accounts. Platlord probably sells currency in other games too not just p99.

The people that buys from him enables the cheating to take place. Without a market people like platlord wouldn't exist.

My WoW account got hacked one time by the Chinese. They vendor'd everything I had. Didn't even bother with trying to auction anything. Then xfer'd the gold to a mule account and sold it to a buyer. The whole process probably took 30 minutes.

Why don't you just go play live? Free lvl 85 with a full set of gear and 15k plat for 2 more days, even on brand new accounts. You won't have to worry about all those inconveniences of P99 like leveling up, getting gear, and making plats. On top of that you can RMT to your hearts content.

Banned for RMT

[Waedawen]

Oh, well, of course he did.

That doesn't mean it's OK to make money off something that should be a hobby, when there are people out there kind enough to provide it to you for free.

Scream capitalism or "inevitablity" all you want. If you weren't a fucking scumbag, none of this would occur. Thieves only think other people are thieves. The mass majority of people here are just here to kill a few hours of their week playing a fucking video game.


They are not trying to fill some void with pixels, as RMT seems only to imply. And the idea that "Well, many people RMT" is a fucking joke. Only the spergiest of the sperg RMT. The only people that RMT are people that have both time AND money to spend on EQ.


That guy said he was "speeding up the process of leveling." He had fucking SEVERAL level 30s. He is not a "casual player speeding up the process" by any bearing whatsoever.

Looked up the answer to my own question, lol. I HIGHLY doubt that anyone is going to pay $2.69 per 1k for 250k plat. LOL, if they do/have then they are seriously the biggest of all losers.

Can the GM's confirm if they have ever banned any moran dumb enough to do this? Would be a laugh riot.

I have known people to spend maybe $20 max on in-game currency. And that was a game with thousands and thousands of players. This game has less than 1400.. Is someone really going to spend very much on plat if at all for this game? 250k is like.. $300+ isn't it?

He said he earned it all legitimately over the years. If that's the case then I don't see how his RMT hurt the server. Whats the difference between him giving it all away in EC tunnel to noobs or selling it all to noobs? People still get items they're not supposed to have either way. I dunno.

The difference is that it's explicitly against the server rules so as to not drag unwanted attention from SoE and a cease and desist order issued. That's the difference. It's not about who has the pixels. It's about SoE not getting paid for their code and some scumbags are instead.

You are wrong in that assessment. The one selling the item would still have to camp the spot for the item. It just makes it so it is someone other than the one who doesn't want to put forth the effort and time and it downplays the rest of us.

How's that iPhone working out for ya, Skittlez?

Pretty good actually. My first iPhone since the 2G. My conscience got to me and I ended up calling AT&T telling them I found the phone, they got in touch with the previous owner, he got in touch with me, then after I offered to return it he laughed and said I could just keep it since he got a free upgrade out of it. It was pretty awesome. Now essentially I have a hand-me-down iPhone. =D

Your flames might be more effective if they made the slightest sense. As it is you're just spewing meaningless drivel about bans and cam girls to a guy who's happily married and never been banned in any game he's ever played.

Well, I tried to talk some sense in to you, but apparently you're too thick. Have it your way.

You ever stop and think.. "Hey, you know, maybe I shouldn't try and shove what I would do down other peoples throats, because well.. They aren't me, and who do I honestly think I am that I should try to direct other peoples lives and choices."

Maybe you're the one who is too thick.. Hmm? The last time I dealt with a self righteous ass hole like your self was this jack ass who thought it best to tell me how I shouldn't refer to my girlfriend as my Ol' Lady because he didn't like it.

Dude, I don't give a fuck at all what you think I should and shouldn't do. So you can take your opinion on the matter and just shove it way, and I mean waaaaay up your ass and leave it there.

Also, you should seriously work on your social skills guy. Your skills now are equivalent to someone who has aspergers syndrome and can't figure out why that other people don't do things exactly how you would.

If I wanted you're opinion on the matter, I would surely ask for it. Since I didn't ask your opinion about my damned signature, in a thread about RMT, why would you even think to bring it up?

So many idiots on this forum. Setting aside the many ways RMT impacts the game itself, it will never be officially allowed on a server like this because Sony would shut it down instantly if they learned that admins were sanctioning it. It's that simple. Stop posting these stupid rationalizations.

Can they though? Given that this isn't even their code any more, seeing as how the DEV's rewrote it. (serious question) And I want proof, not just some that's what I think answer. Back up your statement!

[BigHurb]

the world has been destroyed by fiat currency.. that you dont understand how this translates directly to in game, is funny. usually the simulations run in reverse.

pay to play is not natural!!

[Shamalam]

I work my ass off for my money, 60+ hours a week. When and if I find the time to play I still like to be competitive or a contender. In my eyes that's just the same as working my ass off in-game, except I am putting my time in to the REAL world. If I decide to spend some of my hard earned cash to help me get to the end of a game at a faster rate, so I can compete, then what's the big fucking deal?

This isn't Pay to Win, it's Pay to be able to play.

So... you want to be "a contender" but don't want to (or can't) put in the time/effort to get there? You think all those hours you spend at work should also count towards your EQ progress at home? You basically want to have your cake and eat it, too. This game was designed to be a TIME SINK. If you don't have the time, you won't get to the same point as someone who does. That's all there is to it. There are lots of people playing on this server who routinely put in 12+ hours per day to advance themselves -- why do you think you deserve the same results when you're unable to put in the same amount of work?

Lol, sorry that I have a life and can't play 12 hours a day or more. After being here for over a year now I still don't have a level 60, because it still takes time to be able to get to the end. Just because I bought plat to gear my self on one account to ease the pain of leveling doesn't mean I get to just skip the time and effort of making it to the end. When I get to play though, it helped out with slightly less down time and a little faster kills. Almost my whole experience here has been solo, with every class I have played. Why? Because I don't have the time to sit in a group for hours.

Having better gear than the avg player at your level does not mean I won't be putting in the same amount of work and time, and if you think it does, than you are a fool.

No need to apologize. I usually can't get more than 4 hours per day in, myself. However, I recognize that this means there are going to be players out there with better gear, more plat, and more high level characters than me. Here's the weird part... I'm totally okay with this. I don't feel the need to exchange my hard earned dollars for virtual pixels just so I can pretend that I have more free time than I actually do. Especially when I know that doing so will eventually result in a ban from the server!

Wat. Yes, it absolutely does mean that. If you've spent real money to get insane twink gear for your level, how can you claim that you've put in the same amount of work? Even if you ended up getting 60 before you got banned, you would've put in WAY less work than you would getting an untwinked character to the same point. If you think an untwinked rogue using cheapo weapons and banded armor will level as fast as a rogue with epic/nightwalker/fungi... I really don't know what to say.

I'm not trying to judge you, man. It's your money, I couldn't really care less how you spend it. I just don't see how you can keep trying to justify RMTing on this server. Some people have 12 hours per day to play, some people don't. If that's not your cup of tea, there are plenty of pay2win games out there. Sorry that p99 couldn't be one of them.

Thread not even about endless space, was dissapointed.

[Mirana]

This thread brought to you by the same mind that brought you this quote, regarding monk weapon choice...

No, you will be dealing less damage if you calculate all the times that you will miss. Faster weapons = more hits, slower weapons = less hits. Now this doesn't apply when you use 2hb because those weapons have 25+ damage on them. (At least the 2hb weapons that you wanna be using)

Please, just stop posting. It's embarrassing.

A low level having a fungi is the only thing that is going to dramatically cut your playing time down, maybe a Mana Stone too. In my experience twink gear doesn't mean dick on this server, with the exception of the Fungi tunic. I say this because I am an altoholic and have leveled plenty of characters into the 30's with fantastic gear, and without anything other than bronze armor and a 200p weapon.

Given that I have a good amount of experience up to level 45 I can tell you that having awesome gear hardly made leveling easier. It's not like I magically was able to solo everything with my warrior or paladin when I got them geared. I had to be super careful and super smart about what I was doing while leveling. I Any other set of gear and you are going to be near even with other players that have less than you but are at the same level. Having gear doesn't mean you are going to have a noticeable impact on your ease of leveling.

Perfect example of this is Dark Souls. Just because you have some awesome gear, by no means does that make you any less prone to dying or getting overwhelmed.

That was my first monk, and what I posted is what I was told from a guy I met that wouldn't shut up about his monk. If I was wrong then well.. *shrugs* oh well. I don't seem to recall anyone correcting me about it. =P

Then the only question would be, why would you go through the trouble of RMTing, knowing full well that it will end up in an account ban, if it doesn't make a noticeable impact on leveling?

[Skittlez]

The best answer I have for that is that I play a lot of alts, and keeping them all geared can be expensive and time consuming, therefore... RMT so I wouldn't have to go through all the trouble of transferring gear and etc.

[Skittlez]

Sorry, *Did* play a lot of alts.

[Ravager]

I play a lot of alts. They're not such a chore to gear as you make them out to be. 1k can buy you a pretty decent twink set for any class and it's not too hard to upgrade as you play. But, some people just want things easy, which makes me wonder why they came to this server in the first place.

I wouldn't know much of having an easy time on this server. 20k plat overall really doesn't make things easier as much as it does shinier.

That's such a lame answer. It takes more time and effort to RMT than to transfer gear. Plus weren't you in a pretty sizable guild? They can't help with gear transfers for you??

[Bamz4l]

rmt is dumb. I like to be able to beat a billionare at something...

I dont rmt cause I am cheap.

[Skittlez]

Actually, no, it doesn't take more time and effort. Once I bought that plat I was able to gear some alts and never had to bother with transferring after doing it once. I also despise using people to transfer items so 97.5% of the time I would find a 'safe' area, park both my toons there and drop and grab bags that I wanted to xfer. I've got trust issues when it comes to online games and their players.

As for my guild, I guess it is a decent size. I've never really found a helpful guild though, except for when I was in Harmony last summer, which in all honesty is a pretty big bummer. Sure I have had a few guild members help me with a xfer but that's where it ends pretty much. I think I have only gotten help once, maybe twice in Illuminati, not even that much in my previous guilds, with the exception of Harmony. When I was in Harmony I was always doing something with my guild mates. All the other guilds I have joined since, like Illuminati, has just been a gigantic, and usually pointless, chore to do just about anything. 9 times out of 10 no one even responds to a request or potential group. I still like the people though, they are fun to talk with, when they actually reply. So I have stuck around.

""I also despise using people to transfer items""

You despise using people to transfer items, but RMTing should be A okay? You are starting to run out of lame excuses. Just admit that you wanted in game items to make your characters stronger without having to actually play the game to get them. That's all RMTing is. Plain and simple. You can throw out any excuse you want about real life responsibilities, or working 158 hours a week. But in the end, there is nothing you really need to enjoy the game other than the game itself. If you can't devote that much time to it, then so be it. But don't try to defend the cheapening of the game by doing something that you knew was against server rules. That is really the most pathetic part.
