I always thought it was fine, because like, I collect old things IRL like comic books, and toys and stuff, and I like how people can make a living with their favorite hobbies.

So i always thought RMT was good in a game like Everquest. Never really believed in the reasons why its bad, but I never cared enough to like be a revolutionary about it or anything.

But I think RMT would actually be better for these types of games than no RMT.
The issue with RMT on P99 is due to the legality of it. As an emulated server, you don't want to be seen profiting off of an IP/Game you don't own. Recall the recent lawsuit with THJ. Emulated servers must be free and non-profit to stand a chance of surviving, unless they get express permission from the owners.

If P99 was it's own game and not an emulated server, RMT wouldn't be a big deal. Games like Diablo 2 have always had RMT, amd it was fine.
