Coming clean, because why not?

[Tecmos Deception]

Very much TLDR; you were warned. Preemptive R&F because "lol obviously." In the footsteps of Calabee and Nordenwatch before me:


I'm an RMTer! More than once, too. And I've brutally mistreated someone who I got to know very well ingame (and I guess everyone, less directly, via the RMT, except for the government, to whom I paid misc/hobby income tax for my RMT profits... heh).


Main characters I have created over the years on blue: Lectral Tearweeper, Belwig Bracket, Fischsemmel, Muiriol Haagesbarb, Namegen Isterrible, Sakkra Sssla, Bewkif, Tecmos Deception, Baldurs Gate, Solomancer, Goatbone, Bewkif again because whoever got the account after me apparently deleted that character, Igpay Atinlay, Bristlebard. And on red: Tecmos Deception, Unfortunate Son. That's mostly in the correct timeline order, though I may have missed a couple since that IS quite a few characters to have up to 50+. The only ones I know I have access to anymore are Unfortunate on red (who is actually in TMO for the next 3, 2, 1...) and Bristlebard on blue.

Lectral was my first character on blue, back in mid to late classic, and named after my main on live from Saryrn (a chanter). I made some buddies whose names I've forgotten who started me on the path of solo farming fun in lguk, soloing every mob in the dead side as a 50 necro back when lull and FD+charm mechanics were a bit different than they are now.

Shortly into Kunark my I got frustrated trying to solo outdoor zones full of people in hopes of getting 51+ spell drops for my necro, and I sold sacs to Stealin to twink a cleric with like 30k of gear.

Belwig ended up joining BDA after a mostly-solo leveling career, grouped some with them, and then I quit p99 for several months.

Fischsemmel was up next, twinked with proceeds of previous items and the sale of my old account, which still is active and owned by someone in TMO the last I knew. Leveled via AE which has given me radial tunnel syndrome, I'm fairly certain. In the late 40s I met Kelendil's rogue, Helki, who taught me about low-hp kiting. We were not the first to do this, but we were among the first, and we leveled in DL, BW, and skyfire (yes, we were awesome, we did low-hp AEing in skyfire with a rogue and a bard after normal AE groups in skyfire weren't doable anymore). I apped TMO, Kel endorsed me, I raided quite a bit and tracked a ton while not paying as much attention to RL as I should have, got some items, then sold those items and my account to move on to new characters (I was frustrated, thinking that I didn't have enough to do to keep me entertained on the bard... I really just wasn't nearly as good of a bard as someone like Zanderr so I never realized all the options I had, even solo, with my bard).

Then I wronged Kelendil. Grievously. I had some of his account info from our leveling adventures, and I stole some gear off of a druid that I believe was his after I disappeared to my next set of characters. I also hijacked his rogue's account, and more recently sold sacrifices of that rogue to fund my newest restart on blue after my Tecmos RMT that happened towards the end of last year. I was almost totally without a conscience, and the little conscience I had, I totally disregarded.

This is also the point of my first RMT I think? A few hundred k via richgirl, iirc, though I kept playing with half of my assets on the next characters listed above and never felt any repercussions from the RMT or the more heinous things I did to poor Kelendil. If you're reading Kel, I'd say I'm sorry, except that it's far to late to try to apologize and I doubt you'd want to hear it anyways.

I went through a rogue (who actually hit 60 eventually, and who was the reason I created my enchanter since it was such a pain to get through the late 50s being so reliant on groups), a shaman, a monk, and a shadowknight without doing much of anything on any of them except learning I didn't love any of those classes enough to stick with them.

Then, Tecmos. Yay Tecmos. I'm even dumber for not having made an enchanter as my first character on p99 than I am for all the other dumb things I've done on p99 combined. I love enchanters. I love them even more now that I've learned so much more about mechanics, zones, and the class by having played Tecmos for as long as I did. I made something like 2-2.5 million plat and decked out Tecmos and my next few characters on blue over the course of 2013-2014 before I RMTed everything through platlord.

I only stayed quit for like... 3-4 months though, before I tried a bard again on blue and gave up on him around 50 and then tried a cleric again on red. I quit again for a few months, then came back on red when summer started and joined TMO again (why not do everything I do a few times? I'm still playing a game I first played half of my life ago, after all).


I think that brings any of you who cared to read all of this up to date. I'm just a bit too busy IRL to play my cleric enough that I would be able to raid much with TMO in Velious even if by divine intervention they don't instantly remove my cleric from the guild. Plus I keep getting so frustrated when I play with enchanters or read about soloing on the forums that I really think I need to play an enchanter again... and if I did that it would only be a matter of time before a lot of people realized I was Tecmos anyways. And while I'm at revealing I'm still here and making a new guy again again, I figured I might as well give you all my p99life story.

It's been quite a ride so far. Here's to hoping I don't get IP banned (I'm too lazy to... oh, I just remembered I've boxed also, with most of my accounts here or there, sometimes for a xfer, sometimes actually to play, phone tether on laptop and desktop as normal... in fact I managed to solo low-hp AE pulls in skyfire with my bard by boxing my bard and a level 20ish druid, lol. And I think I almost got busted once, cause I was crossing EC on a character immediately after boxing a xfer in the EC tunnel and Sirken or another GM popped in right next to me but never ended up saying/doing anything. Anyway, I'm too lazy to learn about circumventing an IP ban unless my ISP changes my IP or something).


Hi to everyone I've really enjoyed playing with. Judge me how you will; I won't try to defend or justify anything I've done.

Stealing shit from friends is unforgivable, at least from my perspective. For that I think you're a dick, but people in general are dicks.

As far as the RMT, I dont care and dont understand why amyone cares. I get that the project has to officially come out against RMT, but Ive never understood why they put so much effort into enforcing it as opposed to the myriad of other things they could spend their time doing to improve the server. If there is a supply and a demand for plat/character sales, and it is kept underground (e.g. not being done on p99 forums), why does anyone care what other people do with their time/money? Someone spending $100 to buy their character a fungi doesnt affect me at all, and clearly both parties in the trade felt they would be better off with them money/plat the received, so I just dont understand why some people act like it is some huge crime.

So ya, youre a bag of dicks for stealing from friends, but I wouldnt lose any sleep over the RMT thing.

1 and 2 - I don't think so, but I'm not sure. I miss my stuff and characters and I don't feel GOOD about going against the wishes of the people who make p99 possible... But I can't say for sure I wouldn't.

3 - no comment.

4 - I assumed I would get caught, that's why my accounts were part of the deal instead of just my assets. Although some of my accounts (ones linked to me RMTing) remained unbanned as of like a month ago. Didn't care, didn't think I'd come back to play again. But like someone said, I apparently can't stay away.

P99 is only legal because nobody makes a profit from hosting or playing it.

RMT threatens the existence of the server, and if the staff allowed it to run rampant, P99 would be shut down.

Tell me again why you don't care about it.

Hi, Tecmos! Thanks for the mention. Although most of the Class C bards are probably better than me; those guys are machines with extreme patience. I can't even sit at a camp for more than 1 hour.

It would have been better R&F if you had started playing dumb so that everyone started to wonder if you were an RMT kingpin and THAT was how you knew about my RMT.

IIRC some dude from Transatlantic Rampage bought Fischsemmel from me. Don't remember the character name or know if the account changed hands more after that though.

[-TK-]

Last year this thread would have had 20 pages from the anti-RMT crowd in the first hour. 2015, people be like, 'yo tecmos, where ya been?' lol Times have changed.

[Pringles]

Sad to hear it Tecmos, but it is what it is. I doubt they'd ever IP ban anyone, they always say people are welcome to come back as long as they follow the rules.

[Deliverator]

Also IP bans are ineffective. All you need to do to avoid them is shut your modem off for several hours and turn it back on. Boom new IP because your old one was reassigned. That poor bastard can't play though.

Good to see you Tecmos, I feel like an idiot for never suspecting anything. Then again you always seemed more into the game itself than economyquest so that's probably why lol

Players secretly conducting RMT does not in anyway threaten the server. Like I said, the staff obviously has to oppose it, but I would be shocked of sony/daybreak cared that a few people were making trades on a separate forum completely unrelated to the P99 staff.

How does someone spending $$ on a fungi affect you? I derive enjoyment from this game through progressing my characters and playing with people I enjoy talking to - someone I dont know wasting their own money to buy an in game item in no way makes me enjoy the game less.

The staff obviously cant permit RMT, but I just doesnt make sense to me that they waste time conducting sting operations and enforcing it so strongly when the only reason the rule exists is because we dont want there to be any profit that would motivate sony/daybreak to shut it down. I think the profit they are concerned with is more in regard to the server and not individual players. People RMT'd on live all the time, despite it being against the rules, and I never heard of a single person getting in trouble for it. As long as the staff arent running a big RMT ring, or charging subscription fees or something, I dont think the server has anything to worry about.

Its like drugs. I know theyre illegal, and if I were a cop and someone sparked up a joint infront of me I would feel compelled to fine/arrest them (depending on location), but there is no way I'd be sniffing up people's cars actively trying to catch people for it since it is almost completely a victimless crime.

The incentive to lock down camps exists with or without RMT. VP has been locked down for 3+ years, and almost all of that loot is no-drop. Tranix is classic and perpetually locked down as well. Every try getting the frenzy camp? That shit has been perpetually camped since the server started and just the other week there was a RnF over it. Whether RMT, twinking alts, having millions of plat in the bank, stuff is going to get locked down regardless. I personally would never spend real money on everquest, but I also dont think there is any issue with people who would, nor do I think people doing it is a detriment to the server.

It's impossible for a shaman to solo sebilite protector without something like that. Did that make it less interesting to read about Svenn doing it, knowing that he only accomplished it because of a ridiculous item? Of course not. Just like it doesn't make it less fun to use charm, AE kite, or do any of the other silly things that were possible in classic EQ and that are better understood and more prevalent here.

There aren't very many solo challenge artists. There are a lot of people who farm NG with their 60 ench and still manage to die there though. Do you think somebody like me or Greeny or Svenn or Daldaen wouldn't be able to solo effectively in difficult areas just because we don't have a WC cap?

Those clickies save time, but they don't make much possible that isn't possible already. 95% of the nameds I killed with Tecmos on blue were done with no clickies at all, and probably half the time I did use a clicky it was cause it was simpler, not because it was necessary. I streamed myself in shit gear killing nameds in HS north at level 52 on red, where not only can you not recharge clickies, but they don't have instant cast times even if you want to use them. South would have been done just as easily once I was 60.

Soloing SAC-type stuff is about preparation, knowledge, and (especially) persistence... not about clickies. Thinking it's about the clickies just means you don't really understand how it all works.

[Tiggles]

None of this is a surprise.

I always said you that you were dirty because no one in there right mind farms millions of plat just to buy rots from TMO.

Farming plat is much easier than raiding on this server.

Both require commitment of time, and perhaps farming plat for raid items might take even more time than earning items while raiding. However, one can be done entirely at one's own leisure.

Easy to lock down "raid" targets when you have an ever-rotating group of apps that are ineligible for drops bolstering your numbers and really making everything possible then a bunch of people that don't have to be good at EQ at all facetracking for 16 hours a weekend then you conveniently award drops to your inner circle

I personally would never spend real money on everquest, but I also dont think there is any issue with people who would, nor do I think people doing it is a detriment to the server.

They locked down VP and sold the rots for hundreds of thousands of plat which is not no drop.

[Tecmos Deception]

When was the last time you RMT'd?

Fall of last year.

Hadn't seen you on in so long I figured you had RMT'd off. You always had too much shit to just quit and let it sit there.

[Madbad]

In all seriousness Tecmos, your behavior is similar to the behavior of addicts.

Take the advice of an internet doctor and seek treatment.

What are the warning signs of EverQuest addiction?

Preoccupation with EverQuest. (Thoughts about previous on-line activity or anticipation of the next on-line session.)
Playing EverQuest in increasing amounts of time in order to achieve satisfaction.
Repeated, unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back or stop playing Everquest.
Feelings of restlessness, moodiness, depression, or irritability when attempting to cut down EverQuest.
Gaming longer than originally intended.
Jeopardized or risked loss of significant relationships, job, educational or career opportunities because of EverQuest.
Lies to family members, friends, therapists, or others to conceal the extent of involvement with EverQuest
Playing EverQuest as a way to escape from problems or to relieve a dysphoric mood. (e.g. feelings of hopelessness, guilt, anxiety, depression.)

Substituted gaming with everquest.

Man the worst sign is that you scammed someone who trusted you.

At least you came clean, next step would be to uninstall and never look back.

Good luck dude.

[PVP Cleric]

Did you already serve your time?

Not sure what you mean. I created new accounts+characters when I came back to p99 early this year and haven't done any more RMT.


Regarding the warning signs of addiction? I think that some of those will apply to anyone who does any given activity enough, but that doesn't indicate addiction. I also don't have most of those symptoms, especially in the time since my Tecmos RMT.

this thread sucks and didnt deliver. your story is lame as hell Tecmos. Are you going to give us some details? Like amount of plat and specific $$ amounts? Some specific stories or details or something? You gave us no interesting information. All you told us was your life story on what toons you made.

i thought this thread was gonna be good at first, wow it was bad, cmon kid

[quido]

Agree with Susvain - old news and thread failed to deliver. Juicy details could maybe salvage it, like how many days with the prostitute you actually spent.

[Bazia]

susvain correct

[Tecmos Deception]

Thulack was as correct about me being an attention whore as the landlord was about Jerry being one... which is "partially correct."

But that aside, no more details for you guys. I just wanted all my characters and my few bad deeds out in the air before I tried p99 again from scratch.


This was more lame than Fischsemmel leaving TMO thread. I can't find that anymore either, was it deleted? Or am I looking in the wrong places?

[Tenlaar]

Morals are morals. Yeah the crimes arent the same but the same principals apply.

[salimoneus]

RMT existed back in the day, and Verant barely gave any fucks. Playerauctions was busy as hell and Verant hardly batted an eye for quite some time IIRC.

It boils down to time is money, so time trades or sells, it's just the nature of things. Try to outlaw the free market, and it will just go underground. How effective was prohibition? How's that "war on drugs" working out so far? Hard to blame people for doing what comes natural, for finding a way to work out a simple trade.

IMO this is a non-event, aside for the fact the the guy admitted to fucking over his friends, which is puzzling why someone would admit that publicly. Anyway who cares, he's just one of many douches that you will find on the server, and in life.

I do however agree that enchanters are extremely fun and challenging to play, and I would encourage anyone who doesn't mind getting ass raped repeatedly and would like to learn how to truly lock down a camp, to give the class a try. Tanks especially benefit greatly from seeing how shit works from the other side.

[maskedmelon]

How does someone spending $$ on a fungi affect you?



In the open world with a free market economy of P99 Blue, it affects players in a number of ways. Normally I stand unopposed to people employing real life assets to purchase success in a game. After all RMT vendors are essentially doing the same thing when they buy a coffee with the cash they've earned from RMT and nobody cares that their money came from selling pixels in an elf simulator with shitty graphics.

That aside, the RMT in a world like P99 Blue distorts not only the economy, but in-game demographic. Sure some places will always be more popular than others, but when people are deriving external benefit for their success in game, then popular in-game locations/items become that much more important. The long term implications are not so dire however, provided RMT vendors focus their efforts on accumulation of items rather than plat itself. In the end the effect would be a supply glut, driving prices down and making rare items more available. This would greatly benefit the 'experiencers' among us, but would miff the 'achievers'. Unfortunately, item and plat accumulation are not mutually exclusive activities and farming rare items inherently brings an influx of cash with it due to junk drops, which only exacerbates the problem with inflation.

I'd normally agree with you, but due to the unique nature of p99, it'll actually drive prices up. By unique I mean money camps like Fungi and Tranix have been and will be camped 24/7 regardless of if someone is doing it to RMT or to gain in game pp. The demand for money camps, regardless of reason, is disproportionately high. Whether they are RMTing or not the same number of items are going to enter the server no matter what. I would say that supply is going to stay constant no matter what.

Scenario 1: If supply is constant, and you have a pool of players with legit pp as your demand, as long as both stay constant price stays the same.

Enter in the RMTer scene, you still have a constant supply, but now along with your pool of legit players with legit pp as your demand, you have an additional pool of players using either $$$ as currency, or buying pp they wouldn't normally have with $$$. Either way, your supply is constant, and your demand is now the demand from scenario 1 + the additional demand from the new group that wants to obtain via RMT.

Supply stays constant, demand goes up, price increases. So the net effect of RMT is that prices increase items.

The economyquest is real. Seriously though, who gives a fuck about a sub-minimum-wage RMT payout? If you're that rustled about it then you're basically admitting your real life is less important than pixels

[Tecmos Deception]

This thread makes me think there is a lot more RMT and dual boxing going on here than I thought.

I don't know what kind of absolute level of RMT there is here. I do think there is more than I expected there would be back when I was newer to p99 though. But there's also a shitload of accounts that are permanently banned because of it. Like mine.

"A lot" of boxing? I've probably boxed a total of 5 hours /played in the 5 years I've played p99 like it was a religion. Even if everyone on the server boxed that much, I don't think you could say it is "a lot." I don't mean to try to excuse me boxing, or say that other people should do it... but I don't think there is much going on, and again, the staff come down on people who they catch boxing.


Cause apparently the majority don't care, as long as you are "cool" or a "good player"

You're not still friends with somebody who has been a dick a few times in the whole time you've known them? Either you and some others around here have much higher standards than I do, or you're dicks yourselves :)

I don't expect Kelendil would start hanging out with me again if he saw this thread and was back in P99. But I think those of you who are heavily invested in me wronging someone who is not you are basically just fans in the studio audience at a Jerry Springing recording. But hey, I guess I did invite your judgment right from the get go.

[Tecmos Deception]

And again, I can't believe how many of you believe RMT happens because people sign up for P99 to work it for an hourly wage.

[Thana8088]

Wow, I can't believe the shift in attitude regarding RMT and account stealing. The server really IS changing. I guess it's time to cash in!

Thanks, man!

The only attitude that really means squat on here is that of the staff, isn't it? And their attitude seems to have been the same since forever: break the rules, suffer the consequences. The rules I broke meant ban ban ban.

I think I remember seeing that the only people the staff purposely try to keep from coming back are RMT bigshots? I didn't get the impression that selling out to the RMT bigshot would make me one also... but maybe I'm wrong.

Thana's point isn't a terrible one. My characters weren't BIS after all my droppable stuff was gone, right? But yeah, bye-bye level 60, the name I loved, VP and sky and hate and other no drops, all the faction work I had done, obviously my reputation with most people of not being a piece of shit, etc.

If those aren't pretty big consequence, Catterine, then it should only take me a couple weeks of casual play to get all that stuff back right? To convince bongs to do xfers for me in the tunnel? Yeah, right.

[Tecmos Deception]

Hey Thana. How long do you think someone else would be able to play one of your characters before all the people you knew ingame realized something was up?

Yeah. It's not like I was a recluse. What would a new owner have done? Fired up my stream with the wrong voice and totally different UI and playstyle? Somehow convinced all the people I knew ingame that it was still me playing, even though my forum account was mysteriously silent for MONTHS after posting several times a day for the previous 2 years?

They aren't big consequences when you willingly broke the rules and then walked away with the cash.

I don't understand why you are back playing again AND throwing it in everyone's face that you can RMT and still play all you'd like. Honestly, I think you are hoping for an intervention because you just can't quit on your own.

Don't get me wrong, though, cool story!

[Tecmos Deception]

Being willing to risk and accept consequences doesn't mean those consequences are insignificant. Going to prison for 10 years isn't insignificant just because a white-collar crook was willing to risk that and accept, even if he did manage to hide some of what he obtained for when (if) he gets out.

Sentenza sold me Shield of Immaculate for 240K. Snackies would only give me trak guts for Shield of Immaculate, but I never get rid of good items to get other good item. Unbrella wanted to gouge me 300K+ for guts. You agreed to sell me your Shield of Immaculate for 240K if I traded my first one to Snackies for trak guts...which got me my epic.

Unbrella wanted to gouge me 300K+ for guts. You agreed to sell me your Shield of Immaculate for 240K if I traded my first one to Snackies for trak guts...which got me my epic. Thanks, Senteza, Snackies, and Tecmos for my epic. Sorry that my plat got RMTed.

God damnit zander, your platinum is supporting terrorism all over the world now!

Sure, there's plenty of content. You came in her ripping someone else's guild for RMT, when your own guild has been guilty of not only RMT, but MQ, SEQ, duping, etc. Then you throw the word hypocrisy around, once again ignoring the RMT from your own guild, hypocrite.

Please explain to me how this isn't a classic example of people in glass houses throwing stones.

But of course you're not going to address anything like that logically. You're going to deflect and call names instead because you're not smart enough to actually defend yourself.

You are not understanding. I didn't deny that some players in TMO rmt'd/duped/seq/mq'd never have. You also don't see me harassing the OP for RMTing.
Maybe you need to learn the definition of hypocrisy? I used Hypocrisy in regards to Catterine who was a member of Old IB and TMO and now Rampage.. coming down so strongly on a player who rmt'd.

I understand your thought process is kinda slow and everything you view through a lens of TMO hate but this is pretty apparent here bub.

[pasi]

Hey Mo. You know, I've never watched your videos before! Starting with Velks now though :)

What are the odds you'll play some in Velious? Are you still feeling bored of p99 until they do another server with accurate timeline?

I apologize in advance for the quality of the videos. I did them all in a 2-3 hour block on a day off. I'll probably do a few more zones before the server goes down though!

I'm not sure on playing Velious. I love the expansion from an environmental and lore perspective, but I think it's my least favorite major expansion from a gameplay perspective. If I do end up playing, it will be entirely due to my brother dragging me.

Once you stop caring about gear, it's pretty tough to get into Everquest. You realize that obtaining all this gear at level cap doesn't even really matter in game. Everything in Velious is basically killable on day 1, so you're basically just equipping yourselves to tackle the stuff more efficiently. What made me care to run the proverbial hamster-wheel on EQlive was that VI/Sony shit out content at such a fast pace. That was by far my favorite aspect of EQ in comparison to other MMOs - that the developers rushed semi-complete expansions. Even if the content was unpolished, you always had heaps of stuff to do.

I guess PvP gives a reason to gear, but I'm not motivated enough to level and farm again.

[zanderklocke]

^ who is your brother in game?

[Samoht]

I used Hypocrisy in regards to Catterine who was a member of Old IB and TMO and now Rampage.. coming down so strongly on a player who rmt'd.

Well now I'm coming down on you for coming down on someone else for coming down on another third party for doing the exact same thing that your guild has been guilty of. Take your shit logic back to your shit guild on your shit server and out of blue server affairs.

Btw, where is proof that Catterine was actually directly involved in any RMT? Just hypothetical, I'm not actually asking you to post any more of your nonsense.

[Aviann]

Why do you two have to shit up every damn thread in RnF? Can't you just let us have one without your babbling involved? You guys so mad.

[Teppler]

Lol you always seemed like a nice and pleasant time every time I encountered you in howling stones. Next will you tell us svenn was your partner?

[Tecmos Deception]

Lol, I like Svenn! No partnership though, apart from us during DS a few times when we both were feeling a bit too lazy to solo her :)

[Tecmos Deception]

Duoing DS, that is.

Bill Tetley, who are you ingame, again?

[Teppler]

Was the money good? Could you have made better working a regular job?

[Tecmos Deception]

Of course. RMTing is a horrible way to try to make a wage. Which is why I'd never actually set out to play p99 with rmt as my intent.

But some people ignore me saying that because it helps them sleep better at night, being able to picture me as some fat, bald, highschool dropout living in a trailer park eith my mom playing p99 on my neighbors WiFi because I'm dumb enough to try to make a living farming plat on an EQ emulator to sell for rl currency.

[Samoht]

Why do you two have to shit up every damn thread in RnF? Can't you just let us have one without your babbling involved? You guys so mad.

Put your boner away. I see 20 pages on the front page of RNF, and I've only posted in 4 of them. Now, I can't speak for Alarti and his frequency of shitting up threads, but that's far from every damn one of them on my behalf even if we did assume that my posts in those threads were shit.

I'm not sure if you answered this already but what brought you to rmt then? Do you remember the first instance? Any stories you can tell about other big rmters without giving away too much info?

[Nordenwatch]

Tecmos! I have no idea why you defended my RMTing ways so hard if you were planning to do it yourself. Gotta act aloof buddy!

[Nordenwatch]

also fuck all of you, there's 40 pages of people telling me I'm the moral equivalent of a murderer and child molester in my RMT thread and I didn't even rob a friend, wtf happened on this server in the last year?

[Teppler]

Nevermind about the first time, I see you already wrote about that in OP. But if the money is shit, why do it?

One thing I never understood about RMTing is that if you're smart enough to be in position to RMT then irl you probably have the capacity to put your time together to make much money per hour than on EQ.

[TarukShmaruk]

The guy selling for $$$, or the guy buying for $$$?

I was fine in this thread... direct your ire at samoht, who whenever he sees my name gets super frothy.

No need to assume, bub, for they are indeed shit.

At first it was cool that you were shoving it to Alarti, but now you are turning into Alarti_02.

[Alarti0001]

The guy selling for $$$, or the guy buying for $$$?

I'd say the buyer imo.

[Aviann]

I'd say the buyer imo.

I agree

[Daldolma]

sellers are way worse. they clog the end game because they camp endlessly to hoard and sell, and that has huge repercussions for the whole eqonomy

most buyers buy a couple things and burn themselves out in a few weeks bc this game sucks if you just leapfrog character development. basically has no impact on anyone

[Samoht]

I never said Catterine was involved in RMT. Don't post about logic if you can't even read a thread coherently.

Apparently there is no way to read your threads coherently. You trashed Catterine for being in Rampage even though IB RMTed at some other point in time. Nevermind the fact that you're still in TMO even though they've also RMTed as well as MQed, SEQed, and duped from your own statements on your guild boards.

Why even bring it up in the first place if you're just going to back pedal after someone calls you out? Are you afraid of the truth? Quit trashing people unless you're ready to get trashed yourself.

The fact that you won't quit posting means you must really like to be embarrassed on the P99 boards.

I was fine in this thread...

No you weren't, see above.

[pasi]

Nevermind about the first time, I see you already wrote about that in OP. But if the money is shit, why do it?


The thrill of crime.

Also, I imagine people feel differently about income from RMT versus say job earnings because the nature of the time spent. If you enjoy playing the game and/or farming, the amount of money matters a lot less. People mentioning that working a minimum wage job is better $/hour are probably correct, but they are ignoring the relative enjoyment of the tasks.

I can't cure your ignorance. You expect me to educate you on the movements of players throughout the history of the server?

Not to mention your post is just retarded. It seems you really don't understand what hypocrisy is. Catterine talked shit about RMT.. I didn't. Catterine is/was guilded with 2 or more groups of people who had RMTer's in the past. Some of the RMT'ers reolled new toons and RMT'd again and some other rerolled new characters and did not RMT again. Both types are/were members of Rampage. If she was so ethically against RMT she should have removed herself from the guild.

I don't have a real concern about RMT other than server rules and the legal situations involved. There isn't hypocrisy from me because I didn't come out against RMT from a moral standpoint. I don't think RMT, Duping, MQ or SEQ use makes someone a bad person. Screwing your friends over willingly sure.

This is really difficult for you isn't it? Now please, go ahead and write another spiteful post full of insults and misinformation. The only person you are embarrassing is yourself.

All these words in a thread about RMT. A thread where you've trashed someone in a guild that was previously accused of RMT. While yourself are still swinging from the nuts of RMTers on the red server.

Shut the fuck up, Alarti.

Seriously. Go away. Fucking loser.

One thing I never understood about RMTing is that if you're smart enough to be in position to RMT then irl you probably have the capacity to put your time together to make much money per hour than on EQ.

My RMT was incidental. I can't speak for anyone else, but I didn't set out to play p99 thinking "I'll just sink a couple thousand hours into this over the next 5 years and have a chance at coming out the other end having made a couple bucks an hour!" ... I set out to play p99 to play p99, did so for the whole time I was here, and then when I thought I was quitting for good, I cashed out too.

I think I'm finally convinced I'll never give up on EQ though, so it'd be silly of me to RMT again and have to start from scratch again (if the staff let me try to at all) and further tarnish my reputation, etc.

If I were here just to RMT, or even primarly to RMT, why did I spend hundreds of thousands of plat on a trak tooth and VP no drops that didn't translate into $? Why did I twink alts that I played up to 50 and then abandoned, selling their gear off at less than I bought it for? Why did I play 2 characters to 50, and then a class that doesn't get cash camps to 60, then a bunch more characters to 50, then another class that doesn't do cash camps to 60, before I finally got an enchanter up to 60? Etc.



Regarding whether buyers or sellers are "worse?" Well... it's easy for me to say, as a seller, but it seems like buyers are worse. With no demand, no one would RMT, so neither would someone like me who RMTed when they quit nor would someone who actually plays solely to RMT would be able to do so. With no supply, though, but a demand still present? It'd only be a matter of time before someone decided to introduce supply again.

[Alarti0001]

This is about what I expected from you. Can't argue a point logically, so you throw a hissy fit. Grow up little boy.

[Destron]

Seller or Buyer who is worse...chicken or egg type argument. Without a demand there isn't a supplier. Similar to the war on drugs. Neither party are free of fault but one creates the other.

[Samoht]

This is about what I expected from you. Can't argue a point logically, so you throw a hissy fit. Grow up little boy.

I got you talk a bunch of nonsense in a circle until you started back pedaling. No need to give up when you've already surrendered.

[Portasaurus]

Stick to meat and avoid the hammer, folks.

[zanderklocke]

It is sort of funny how people think they are being slick when trying to be a RMT buyer and you're not offering items/services for real money. Many players have approached me when I've been selling a high end item or offering PL services in the EC tunnel. When I indicated that I only take platinum, sometimes they will say, "Why don't we talk in vent or over the phone; maybe we can work something out."

Always nope the hell out of that situation.

Some guy tried to offer to meet me at the Mall of America food court and buy me stuff for a power level since he realized my forums account said I reside in Minneapolis. That's some creepy next level shit.

So many scumbags in this game willing to steal pixels from their friends. It's truly mind blowing to me. Same thing happened to me when Znush of Forsaken, an ex real life friend of mine, decided he was going to steal a bunch of gear from my account. I'm still bitter about it, and will never forgive him for it. I never thought I'd say this, but I have similar views as Alarti on the matter. I could really give a shit about RMT except for the fact that it's a threat to the server as far as it being shut down for it happening. When you have to steal pixels from long time friends, you're on a whole other level of scum.
