This all has been pretty intriguing. Good game Systolic I think you accomplished what you wanted to do. I don't know if its just me or if anyone else feels the same but:
-RMT - don't care; doesn't effect me.
-Hacks - don't care; doesn't effect me.
-GM RMT - don't care; doesn't effect me.
Maybe its just cause i casually play and don't raid or anything. All that aside it is been funny to watch/read the drama as it unfolds. I think that's why this is getting so much attention. Drama whores all of us.

This really needs to be debunked. RMT affects the entire server, including you. GM RMT (if it exists) fundamentally undermines the even playing field for anyone who wants to meaningfully progress i.e. it hamstrings the game, and does violence to the design. It also does affect you as it controls the economy and item value. This trickle down affect directly damages the lower game as well, and sets the tone of the entire server community.

Apart from that it's slimy and ugly. I'm willing to bet Nilbog takes a very dim view of it. If it became public knowledge that RMT was happening and was accepted by staff, half the server at least would leave for all these reasons. Also, the IRS would be quite interested, I imagine.
