This is probably the best reason the farming behavior is so detrimental to the community as a whole... The farmers say "Learn to raid newb", but then monopolize all the raid targets so newer player/guilds can't learn...
Even the farmers have to admit how others can see this behavior as a bunch of people who have a very real profit motive to prevent others from becoming geared & skilled enough to attain things on their own, thus forcing them to buy said things from the farmers.
Now whether the payment is just plat for plat's sake or RMT is an entirely different story but why someone would need to continue to hoard hundreds of thousands of plat. Any items they would want to buy they obviously have the time & skills to camp on their own so that can't really be reason. What I can tell is that there are a healthy number of people out there still offering RMT of various kinds in various places so there MUST be people active on p99 today who are farming for plat and items to that end.
I have no idea if this particular farming team are also RMT'ers but there MUST be farming teams who are (based on the millions of plat and hundreds of items and accounts currently up for sale). As such if all high end farming has to suffer additional scrutiny to flush out RMT'ers then that is best for the community as a whole. The alternative is to continue to allow this kind of behavior across the board and as such institutionalize the RMT trade.
That, in my opinion, is a bad outcome and i believe the owners/admins of this server agree with me due to the time they've spent trying to root out these kind of schemes.

Except the RMT accusations are coming from the angry "beginners" who are upset that their 30 beginner raiders can't kill the hate minis which are NOT raid mobs... there is no evidence that anyone involved is RMTing, it's just more deflection from people training themselves in hate. The server admins are against RMT on this server, if there was any proof that the people in question were RMTing it would be dealt with.
This whole argument that these people are somehow not letting others learn to raid is a joke. You can learn much more valuable raiding lessons doing HoT or attempting derakor than you can clearing hate trash. Honestly this entire issue is because someone in clue or fires of heaven wants something but doesn't want any competition in getting it.
