What are the rules for helping others?

[vack]

Quick question:

I am definitely a newbie on this server. I try to be friendly and helpful to everyone I meet. 98% of the population has been super cool and the other 2% can be ignored.

But I got hit with the ban hammer because I helped a guy transfer some items and he paid my EC toon a bunch of platinum after I helped him out. Did I screw up because I helped a guy who had paid some guy for his plat?

But that is nor the worst part a buddy of mine got banned because I gave him some of the money I had gotten. As he is also a brand new player and he got hit with the ban hammer as well.

Did I break some rule I cant find?

Is there anything you can do to get a ban removed other than the petition part of the forums?

There is probably pages of petitions today from the ban wave.
Not counting the 2 months of work Derubael left behind.
Some are innocent (like your story sounds) some are not.
If you bought plat, you will stay banned.
If you are innocent. Petition it and wait. Don't over bump it, be polite, an bump it once a day or two days until you get resolved.
Same with your friend.
Good luck.

Hi friend,

You've been banned because you have handled RMT purchased Platinum and items.

It is possible you were banned unjustly and if you think so I would open a petition saying so.

Unfortunately, for you the people on the RMT forum are telling their banned buyers to say the same exact thing you are saying right now. That they got the platinum for free or buy doing a transfer.

Don't tell us how much the "gift" was or anything.

[Trebeh]

I would say REROLL

[Rararboker]

Yeah when someone says "gift" instead of the actual amount, makes them look super guilty. This RMT banning business is entertainment gold.

[Eldon]

How much did he give you?

This is the nicest post I've ever seen on RNF.

[Villkain]

Well, your story may or may not be true. But you may find getting people to believe it true rather difficult. I try to be nice, friendly, and helpful quite often. In all the years of playing EQ on live and now on P99, I have never once had anyone try and gift me vast sums of money. I am going to speculate that most have had a similar experience as mine. I have never spoken with or had any interaction with Rogean. But if I may make one supposition, he probably didn't ban too many for small money exchanges. If you and your friend split a couple hundred plat gifted as a tip for helping out and received a ban, then petition. If it was substantially more than that, I suggest you take the advice of others and make a new toon with the new found knowledge of how the server works. Accounts with no high level characters attached that suddenly have large sums of money are going to be deemed suspicious. These large scale bannings may be an inconvienence for the innocent, but are essential for the health of the server. As a member of Dark Winter, I see first hand the negative impact on good people when betrayed by RMT'ers.

So your claiming u helped a guy transfer items and he paid you a "bunch" of plat for that. It all boils down to how much "a bunch" is. If he gave u a few hundred plat than you should petition, make your case, and they willl probably unban you. However i have a feeling that "a bunch" is a significant amount. If the amount of the "gift" was 10k or 100k, and you think anyone will beleive you that someone gave you that for helping transfer items then you must be retarted or think that the gms are retarted. Regardless dont even bother petitioning at that point because you know you rmt, gms know you rmt, and everyone else knowing the facts knows you rmt. Just accept that you rmt and got cought, and reroll hopefully not rmt this time.

What ya gonna do about?

[Formshifter]

What ya gonna do about?

Sounds like a confession to me. Gms Pls ban unless your in on it too

[Glenzig]

If you really are a new, and it really was a gift, just roll a new account and never do an EC transfer again. But I think we all know that newbs dont post legitimate questions in RNF.

[Formshifter]

There's always the possibility the thread got moved here. Smells like a marina though

[ripwind]

I've done dozens of transfers, including (unknowingly) for people who were dinged for RMT. Many of these tens or hundreds of k worth of items/plat. Or even one-way plat transfers for epic MQs. I feel like the staff does their research before commiting to bans.
