Big loophole to just have a bunch of computers linked up and take down what you want at your own leisure.
Also, RMT happened on live no doubt, but it was eventually enforced, may have even be written in original EULA that you couldn't profit off the game.

I wasn't arguing that RMT is good/bad- in fact I said I think it's probably a good thing that P99 tries to be diligent about stopping it- same thing with boxing. I'm just saying that it's different to say that RMT is bad vs. saying RMT is not classic (same with boxing). Both RMT and boxing were very common in classic and weren't policed at all until well into our timeline. Classic doesn't automatically mean right or best. That's why people are often frustrated by the seemingly inconsistent message from the devs that at times say they are
making a "museum" of EQ, warts and all and IDGAF if everyone likes it or nobody likes it, but then take out stuff they think is bad like AoE/swarming, RMT, boxing, leapfrogging, dps races, etc.
Of course the RMT that was happening in classic was significantly different than having a cash-shop button built into the UI like Live is currently.
