GM events = plat

[ryandward]

So today I see Korrath, the Troll Druid running around with Golden Efreeti Boots, and wonder to myself, "How much plat did this nub make by selling his toon?". This is because I spent quite a while in EC watching prices, but saw Korrath for a long time saying crazy nub stuff for a week or two, decked out in patchwork.

So then, what happened to Korrath? I asked the guy if he bought Korrath, he said yeah. GM events seem like they are just ways for people to make a crap ton of plat off selling toons and accounts, so frustrating IMO.

I don't know if there is away around it, since the GMs are trying to reward newbies with cool items, but instead they just turn around and sell them.

[Harrison]

Look guys, this is what happens when you let retards on the internet.

[Barkingturtle]

I know just what you mean. I have a pally who was at the event where Korrath got the troll illusion. It was an event for lowbies. My paladin was and is level fifteen.I got the Holy Defender crown, Hands of Marr, Griffin Feather Cloak and Golden Veil. Sweet stuff. Good name. No rep.

PM offers.

[ryandward]

Look guys, this is what happens when you let retards on the internet.

I assume you are referring to your own post.

[Pico]

i won plane of time gear for correctly fellating rogean and then sold it in real life for zimbabwean currency

[purist]

So, you make a thread yesterday raging about the Trivia event, and now you rage about this. Pixels got you mad bro?

[ryandward]

Not really raging, just think it's kind of an abuse of what should be a cool event for lowbies.

[JenJen]

[Ennoia]

Yea you did. Best $20 I ever made.

[Saiene]

Kind of agree, items from GM items shouldn't be used to make plats but.... Grats to this guy, his net plat worth of 10 pp probably went up 100,000 percent.

[Barkingturtle]

Top offer on my pally is currently:

0 Plat.



This thread is a lie.

Why do you or anyone else, really give a shit what someone else does with their item? Regardless of it's origin.

[ryandward]

I'm not sure why I care, maybe just because most MMOs have a policy of not allowing accounts to be traded, and it just does not feel classic whatsoever.

[ryandward]

I suppose not only that, but I personally know several people who helped this guy out for nothing because of his extremely apparent newbishness, and I was really surprised to see him running around in high-end gear, after he got sold.

[Autotune]

Exactly. These accounts should be getting sold for CASH. That would be classic.

[Ihealyou]

I don't know if there is away around it, since the GMs are trying to reward newbies with cool items, but instead they just turn around and sell them.

The GMs give this noob a cool item. He may enjoy having this item, in which case he will have fun playing with it. If he does not want the item, or would rather have something else, he sells his character, and uses the plat to buy items which he wants. Now the noob is happy, and whoever bought the character is happy.

[Dantes]

Each to his own. We don't tell your grandmother what to do with her winnings from Wheel of Fortune.

Guess that's about right.

[deakolt]

If ryandward had gotten the items he would have made a post like "OMG I LAUVE THIZ SERVAR THE GMS N PEPPLE R SO NICE"

If you got any illusion items, PST. Will pay very well.

[ryandward]

Enjoy your garbage, lmao.

[Barkingturtle]

No illusions but there are like twenty pallies on the server so people still do a double-take whenever they see you.

And Ryan, dude, this is your chance to have event loots. There's just no pleasing you.

I'll give you 50p. Lemme know if you get any higher bids.

[Barkingturtle]

Highest bid: 50pp.

[ryandward]

Do I win?

[Barkingturtle]

Going to keep the auction going for a few days or until the buyout is met. Don't worry, I'll keep you updated in this thread! Good luck!

You were more entertaining when you were crazy-obscene in every post you made

You were never entertaining. Also, fat.

[ryandward]

So, is that like a thing on this server, people make fuckin crazy tags, that I can't delete?

[Barkingturtle]

You were never entertaining. Also, fat.

Sorry, I didn't mean that. You've probably been entertaining before and I just don't remember it or wasn't around for it or something. I'd wager you've entertained at least one or two drunken teenage boys as they peeled back your shit-stained granny-panties and plunged into your eager shit-box. I'm not sure you'd call it entertainment, but I reckon gaping the cunt of some sloppy drunk cow with a forty or a handle of vodka at least helps pass the time.

Just wonderin because of all the tags~

[ryandward]

Just wonderin because of all the tags~

I'm not even sure what most of those tags are from.

[Ektar]

selling a character that was picked at random to receive a unique item that could have just as easily gone to 100 others who would have kept and loved it for the rest of their days... yeah let people do what they want whatever but. that bothers me. idk not like I'm gonna go march on city hall or some shit but it makes you think twice about that kind of reward.

[Aadill]

I was asked to sell my guise of the deceiver I won for 70k. That would've doubled my bank account but I realized what the hell would I do with money as a ranger? :/ I like my DE mask~

[Ektar]

I wonder what ektar would sell for... he might even break 10k because of the LR and DE mask. other paladins go for like what... 5, 6 hundred?

[ryandward]

[Eyeke]

I've got 10k on that paladin

[Barkingturtle]

That's the spirit!

[purist]

I've got 10k on that paladin

PROOF GM EVENTS ARE JUST A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO MAKE CRAP TONS OF PLAT

[Eyeke]

Also, that troll sold for around 70k I'm guessing. I was offered it at one point and didn't think I could turn anything on it, so I passed. I certainly wasn't going to level up a druid or ever use Troll Illusion.
I saw some high level monk with a halfling illusion, FD in Seb the other day. Only retards would choose to be troll without the racial benefits.

[Aadill]

Why you thumbsupsin my post, bro? I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW.

[Aadill]

That quote didn't work. Talkin to you, Ryan. WHY YOU THUMBSUPSIN?

You can sell/trade accounts but you cant two box because then it wont be "classic" or fuck up server economy.



wait what was this thread about?

you can't two-box because of the very most important reason of all.

Nilbog doesn't want you to.

secondary to that or perhaps the reason for #1 is...it messes up the community. people who do box tend to monopolize the rare drop camps in game and that does to an extent mess up the economy but the main issue there is that it messes up the community feel.

besides which. it's a rule. just like there are rules on the road that may not make sense.

Speed limit on one section of the road may seem too low. But that is like that for a reason and you really shouldn't break that rule / law because when you are caught there are consequences :)

right now...trading accounts is annoying but allowed. kinda like not moving out of the fast lane when all of the speeders want past you....

Hey whatever helps you sleep at night. Slow traffic keep right.

[purist]

Agree, annoying.

Pretty sure that even if there was no account trading, people like you would still find an excuse to rage about every GM event no matter what happened, as long as you're the one who didn't get the pixels.

See the thread you made about the Trivia event where you went "OMG DID YOU KNOW THEY GAVE AWAY FUNGIS FOR COPY+PASTING!?" for proof.

Both threads appear born of your palpable jealousy.

If you can't see it, maybe you're just in denial?

[ryandward]

I'm so fuckin sick of you douchebags, try to maintain my composure throughout the entire thread, but then I just fuckin garbage thrown at me, fuck off and don't forget to die.

[Convict]

this is a good thread

[soup]

I love how people say account trading is "annoying" or it bothers them or whatever, as if it has any effect on you at all.

I'd say you're annoyed you didn't get cool GM rewards. You didn't get the troll illusion, and that's that. You have no place to give a crap what someone who did get one did with it.

It's funny because the guy could have gotten it then just immediately destroyed it or deleted his character and you would have never known or gave a crap, but you figured out he sold the character and suddenly that pisses you off. Sounds pretty irrational if you ask me.

[Webwolf]

Account trading shouldn't be allowed, at least in game. I don't recall seeing people announce WTS lvl50 whatever accounts in EC on live.

[Ektar]

idk if you guys are just trolling or not, but there's definitely place for someone to have a problem with account selling. it's super meta-gaming. you go to ec and buy in game items because we're in a world. some guy selling cybersex on a female character is at least kind of in game. but selling an account is super metagame and beyond prostitution.

[Harrison]

I would only be angry at meta-gaming if this were a paid service.

It's free. So, the reasoning behind the rage is really unfounded.

[Ektar]

rage may be unfounded. but people are getting on his case about even caring about it. I don't like it. that means I'm jelly I guess? (I am jelly of the dude getting to choose any illusion item he wanted, but that's beside the point).

[Harrison]

The people on these forums saying "ur gay for caring" are the worst of all.

They're on a forum for a game they "don't play" and caring all over the place.

[Harrison]

Annoying, coming from the dude who sat on top of me in EC spamming me with trades to annoy me?

How about summoning a pet that makes excessive amounts of noise and planting it on me? (Doesn't work, I don't have sound in EQ on.)

You're a retard but, we knew that.
