Given plat..

[jcarbone]

Few days ago last week I was given a large amount of plat by a random person in the NFP bank. Was on a noob character with no gear, who figures. The next day my account becomes banned. What are the possibilities?

GM's monitored the trade because it was such a large quantity, probably set off a red flag for an RMT? How is there ANYWAY to prove that this wasnt? The only words exchanged between me and the person that gave me the plat was (me) "Wow, thanks so much!" and the other guy talking about how he had to go quickly.

1) Are noobs not aloud to be given platinum? (large amounts)
2) Was this someone dumping off "illegal" scammed plat? RMT plat? How did I get the short end of the stick?
3) Only character on the account that I played was a low level monk with some hand me downs from a friend. I'd much rather not start over with a blank account - or is this my time to go red?
4) Im glad the GMs try to crack down so hard, but has this ever happened to anyone else??

highly unlikely story op. reroll and try again.

[Nisei]

sam got your account banned so you can play on red

[paulgiamatti]

I mean if you know what RMTing is and have a good idea of how things work here, which you clearly do, then you'd know the best way to resolve this would be to contact a member of the P99 staff and hash it out with them. This post just makes you look super guilty, and you probably are.

[Ketu Garyx]

If someone was giving you illegal plat which had some sort of traceable aspect to it why on earth do you think the person might even bother mentioning about "having to go quickly" why would they bother?

Quit making shit up and accept your ban.

[Ravager]

Sorry, but you wasted your money.

[Itap]

Hopefully whoever you bought it from is banned also

[Swish]

Thankfully its easy to get that genuine friend who gave you the items to probably buy them again cheaply in EC.

As everyone has pointed out it reeks of a guilty RMT plat transaction... remember you're here for classic EverQuest, not to power game in twinked items getting PL'ed to 60 as fast as possible. You won't enjoy it that way.

Save your credit card for the Steam sale deals ;)

P.S. - Look at OP's post history

So the guy who was complaining about red population ends up eating an RMT ban. Awesome!

Buying most decent monk gear, have about 10k to spend and am looking for *MOST* slots! Weapons especially...post or message me here with what you have

So you had a noob character with just "hand me downs" from a friend, but also 10k to spend on monk gear, and no RMT was involved.

Sure, sounds legit to me.

I wonder how the GMs ever put the finger on him?

[Bboboo]

I've heard this advertised as it's own server before, I think the GMs endorsed it too, could be wrong tho.

[Jimjam]

Well, conceivably he posted his WTB after being given this 'large amount of plat' but before being banned (or realising he had been banned)...


... No, wait that doesn't add up. He had 10K and was looking for gear for three days, whereas in his story he says he discovered the ban the day after receiving the ten thousand.

Someone keeps dumping compost on my allotment... The plot thickens...

[Wenuven]

The stories people come up with are seriously amazing. Are they honestly so delusional that they think people will believe them? Reminds me of the dude who got banned for two-boxing and made up some elaborate story, only for Deru to post the raw evidence publicly in OPs thread. I'm on my phone so don't have the link.

Maybe they think it's worth a shot, since they have nothing else to lose?

GG idiots.

[Raelador]

Same thing happened to me. GMs aren't going to believe you and people on the forum refuse to believe that someone would give away 56K (my amount). I e-mailed and spoke to a RMT'er before about this, and they said it was a common tactic to unload some plat like that to throw off the transactions, but doesn't always work as you can tell.

BTW you guys' reasoning that he hadn't bought anything yet for 3 days being a sign of guilt confuse me. Not everyone plays every day.

And don't you guys think he probably posted on the petition forum first?

[Ravager]

Yep. There's nothing suspect about being handed 56k for no reason whatsoever.

[Skinned]

Yep. There's nothing suspect about being handed 56k for no reason whatsoever.

That literally happens to me all the time.

[GnashingOfTeeth]

Jimmy, and we will call you Jimmy, as your for certain you are rustled.

Jimmy, if you had a random benefactor, the staff can see what occurred. Down to the food you eat, and when you click /gems.
So hit up the petition forum and see what happens.

The Deru, the Enom, and the Sirk will sort you out if it merits love.
If they think for a moment you RMT.... done, and will be sacrificed to the Rogean's gas pedal in his car he drives way to fucking fast.

Just FYI... they give zero shits if you are a butt head RMT, if you are honest, they will fix you up.
If not, dust in the pixel wind......... blows............ sparkles....... *******************
Oh you are gone.

That doesn't make ANY sense whatsoever. How is unloading large amounts of plat on random people making their transaction history look any less suspicious?

And don't you guys think he probably posted on the petition forum first?

Yes, and the GMs either ignored him or gave him an answer he didn't want to accept, which is why he's making a last-ditch effort to try to appeal to the general public and praying to find a way to squirm out of the hole he dug himself.

Even in the very unlikely (almost impossible) scenario that someone hands you a bunch of plat at random, you are still an idiot for accepting it without asking any questions.

[polishanarchy]

When I started playing on this server I remember wondering if something like this could happen. I mean, I'll make a pit stop in FoB to hand out 30p for spells to random necromancers. But I get the feeling it isn't common practice to hand out 10k to random mules at your local bank.

The thing I really don't get though, is if these kinds of "problems" can't be resolved with petitions...what are we, the members of a public forum for a game we don't even pay for, supposed to do about it?

Then I remember that I read these forums for entertainment and I feel a lot better.

[davedeck42]

Haha by 'given plat' dude scammed it offering to trade red for blue. No RMT was involved. Whats funny is he got his account banned over 10k and then tried to run to the boards and throw himself at the mercy of the community like it would do anything. I wish his story would have included more details like the '2 brothers afk boxing' guy or any of the other dumbfucks that get caught being dumbfucks.

It's not unheard of: once I actually had a really awesome player that I had just met give me a 22k item. The thing is though, Derubael and Sirken have a ton of information at their disposal, so they can tell an actual player who happens to be generous from an RMTer pretty easily. Anyone claiming that they were a "victim of generosity" is full of crap, because if that were really the case the GMs would know (or, worst case scenario, the GMs would make a mistake and then fix it in response to a legitimate petition).

[Ravager]

I've probably given away 100k or so of stuff over the years; I always try to make sure it's new players who get it, but it's never a lump sum cash payment of several k. Usually it's just 1k at a time or some items worth a few k, and I always make a game of it, the first noob to jump off the spires, etc.

Nobody honest gives away 10K+ without making some kind of post about it on the forums and making a public spectacle of it. At least that's what I've seen in my time here.

[jcarbone]

Wasn't pleading a story, its a level 10 character and can easily be made again, no worries on that.

And no, it wasn't an RMT - hence the post. I know the GM's wont unban the account because of what it looks like - a level 1 mule given a ton of plat, then logging off. I'm not dumb and I know the project99 staff isnt either.

What does my post history have anything to do with anything?

This thread wasn't a plead for the account to be reopen. Just looking to see if anyone else has heard of this happening, and it sounds like it has.

But I agree with most of you, sounds far fetched right? I'm still playing the game and not really worried about lost plat that wasn't even mine to begin with.

Helllllllllllllllllo, Finally decided to give this game a go...

11-25-2014, 03:34 PM (a month later)
Buying most decent monk gear, have about 10k...

12-01-2014, 11:30 AM (6 days later)
Few days ago last week I was given a large amount of plat...banned...

Only character on the account that I played was a low level monk...

[sulpher01]

So, while i dont believe this guy at all... tons of people give away all their plat when they quit. Have had a couple friends do this over the years.. altho they did it in ec and just shouted out im giving away my stuff.

[Wenuven]

[...] it wasn't an RMT [...] a level 1 mule given a ton of plat, then logging off. I'm not dumb* [...]

[Jimjam]

BTW you guys' reasoning that he hadn't bought anything yet for 3 days being a sign of guilt confuse me. Not everyone plays every day.
It's more that he knew he got banned within a day but was looking for 10k's worth of gear for over a day.

Admittedly maybe he found out the date he was banned through petition rather than logging into the game, but to me it looks like he planned on getting 10k, was looking on things to spend it on in advance, then when he received the 10k he got banned.

Of course, I could be mistaken.

[fuark]

There has to be something suspicious about the transaction - namely, the mule was probably on an account that the GMs track and know is an RMTer.

Huge plat sums given to other characters with nothing else involved can not be uncommon. I can ask my real life friend in a text or over teamspeak to log in and give me 100k and we won't say anything in game. I would imagine there are hundreds of other people on project 1999 who can do the same thing. I don't know a single person who has had trouble with GMs for trading large amounts of plat or items.

Also, odds are your transaction was RMT (not accusing, just stating odds), but people do certainly give away money in EQ. On live, while sitting in EC, a guy randomly gave me 40k and a Red Dragonscale BP and logged. Good day. Have a friend who also was given 20k and assorted items by a guy quitting in EC tunnel here on P99. Which again leads me to believe his account was probably being tracked, and your trade was suspicious enough to warrant bans.

[sulpher01]

I'm guessing they let the RMT guys keep selling plat and just ban the customers since most of them are one time buyers anyways. Makes it easy at least.. dont have to go tracking down new RMT mules, just ban anyone they interact with..

You toxic piece of s**t! Learn to respect others. Everyone, including fgts because you're probably one if you have something against them. No one hate someone/something without a reason. Deep down, you're probably just trying to prove yourself that you're not one. Real straight guys don't care about fgts. Now go watch your gay porn and don't forget to lock your door first so your mom doesn't catch you.

P.S. The GMs can track where the PP came from. Easy, end of story.

Compared to you, I'm not here to show off on the forums. I can't believe how immature some of you are.

I've been surfing on these forums for a while, all I see is hate vs black people, fgts, my mom, your mom,...

One would think the majority of the player base would be at least 30ish+ yrs old. I guess not. You guys just need to learn to not bash others because they're different irl.

That "angry & fake European" guy don't think it's the best way to go to look cool on the forums.

I don't understand why they allow people to talk that way in the forums. Be a man, not a little boy and stop calling people names, laugh about skin color, religion, etc..

It's common knowledge and it piss off more people than you think, not only me. Think* it'll be good for your brain.

[central scrutinizer]

So you had a noob character with just "hand me downs" from a friend, but also 10k to spend on monk gear, and no RMT was involved.

Sure, sounds legit to me.


Just to play devil's advocate, I've had this happen to me several times where folks have just randomly tried to give me a lot of nice stuff/plat. And I don't think it had anything to do with rmt as the spells/gear was clearly perfect for my class. And one sent a tell "where are you?" first so I think they met me on an alt or something.

I still kinda feel bad about turning that down, refusing gifts seems so rude. But I play untwinked and would have just ended up deleting the toon later if I had accepted stuff I did not earn myself upon a spur of the moment.

I did totally appreciate the sentiment for what it's worth, and I do pay it forward even though I did not accept the trades.

[myriverse]

Been given stuff out of the blue by people I don't know from Adam several times. Zero RMT involved (there are no whistles cleaner than mine). Lots of truly generous people on the server. I can definitely believe a friend would do more without RMT involved.

But there are also a lot of shady friends. Guilt by association sucks, but well... yeah.

[SamwiseRed]

someone just gave me 100k plat and a fungi randomly in the qeynos aqueducts. he told me if anyone asks he wasnt there and /q'd. really odd.
