Ha ha i rage quit after i lost my 2nd CoF and 3rd Fungi in under 2 months.... i payed out over 380k in prizes before that.. I attempt to log back in next day after i cooled off. I appologized to the guy and arranged to pay him his reward in a PM. I see my account is banned. I read all the threads about it and see that my ban is due to defrauding another player... I totally agree with that decision... I was a mental wreck when i /q'ed on that guy and I deserve what happened... i didnt "scam" anyone but him.. i didnt attempt to "scam" anyone before him... it was just a moment of weakness.
Im sorry to all involved if i had a hand in ending the EQ gambling scene...
ALTHOUGH... everything i have read about this leads me to conclude that my specific scenario is being used by staff to take your gambling privilege away... NOT because gambling, in and of itself, has caused grief to the community beyond the annoyance of having to filter your chat window. But, because it has made it harder to detect RMT.. taking away a beautiful layer of the game for no reason other than that they are understaffed and over worked.
I guess i can understand that to some degree... and in other ways i cant understand that at all.
smoke and mirrors
