Also making an npc that sells shit like guises straight up for large amounts of platinum is beyond retarded no matter how short the window to buy it. And it does nothing for stopping RMT plat laundering.

In fact making an npc that sells guises just promotes RMT since most people dont have that kind of pp and would be desperate to get their hands on a guise. If gms announced such a npc would be available tomorrow for 24 hours I would be willing to bet that every RMT'ers plat supply would be dry before the npc was removed again.

Yet devaluing currency is the ONLY way to stop RMT's... you have to take the real money value OUT... as I said the ban on Casinos isn't going to stop RMT's or decrease how often they happen.. It apparently only helps be able to track down people who RMT, the casino ban did nothing more but make work "easier" for GM's instead of them actually attacking the issue, which is monetary value on pixels.

I still want to know if the GM's plan to stop RMT's from happening completely, or do they realize that it's going to happen regardless as long as there is value to plat, and if they already realize that RMT's are always going to happen then why the casino ban, doesn't make sense... except laziness... Or we'll go with a tinfoil hat theory here... The GM's are actually behind the RMT's and don't like when other people are making money without their involvement... so ban casinos make it easier to control the transfers... (again my tinfoil hat theory)


(Also can someone tell me what the big issue with RMT? Is it a legality issue, fear the server might get shut down, because people are making money, or is it just a GM rule that strongly enforce? I'm guessing it's fear that SOE will come shut down the server.)


Also I heard something about a Petition going around? If this was a GM ruling only then why were players asked to weigh in their opinions?
