Default Repudiating RMT Opprobrium

Everyone that posts in RnF would RMT if the following conditions were true:
  1. They had money
  2. They didn't pee their pants in fear of being caught

Stop pretending you wouldn't just because RMT vendors don't take food stamps. Spending 1,000 hours on your computer getting fatter while you continually repeat the same monotonous tasks is not noble. If people are still playing EQ circa 1999 they have (hopefully) mastered their class by now. For normal people that played EQ 15 years ago and now have jobs / families / lives, it's an economics and cost/benefit decision.

For the record... I was not banned for RMT, you all just need to get over it.

Yarrrrrr... p much

But it's fun to accuse people of RMT, being RMT kingpins, blame it on everyone/our own failure etc...

It's like a meme.

Well I don't think I would RMT here unless it was for plvlz, would not want to trade accounts ever on an emu server.

And game is boring at max level so.... yeah, not everyone is motivated to RMT. But ya'll would if it wouldn't eve be noticed in ya'lls pocket books, ya'll were assured it was 100% safe.

Time is money.

If your time is worth something like 20$ an hr.

Why waste that time playing a free game for nothing when for 8 or so hours. You can accomplish what it takes people a few months to accomplish?

Also the real money is probably in things like manastones and items like fungies, or general plat to get those things.

I bet most RMTs are for plat to buy those things, or those things directly, so people can tool around on twinks without the burden of EQ from clothe and rawhide.

You need to quit seeking accomplishments in video games.

Breaking news, I am not seeking accomplishment anywhere in my life. I am working hard to be a cog in the great wonderful system so that we can all be oppressed and have our individuality and freedom stripped from us for our own good.

J/k

But I ain't wasting time on that shit. I'm speaking metaphorically. For the un-innitiated.
