RMT and the responsibility.

[Rhuma7]

Why is RMT bad for the server, sirken?

On another emulated server I played on prior to coming back to P99 it was strictly banned and CONSTANTLY monitored by observing the daily amount of gold acquired and who had the most gold.

RMT is bad in ways that most dont even understand. Most think its just not right for people to get things so easily without working for them. A moral standpoint.

The real evil of RMT is in acquiring the currency to even begin to sell.

When a person decides they want to sell items for real money, the entire perspective of the game changes. It isn't about dropping a raid boss for the first time, or hitting that next level or even seeing the world. It is simply, where can I go to make the most money for the least amount of effort/time.

24/7 farming for no reason other than to make $$$.

Some say, it doesn't hurt the economy, it isnt CREATING any influx of currency and doesn't affect anyone but that is where you're wrong.

Why are all these people constantly farming epic quest drops? Why is it, in the years that I have played p99 have I never seen a naggy/vox pick up raid? Why is it that acquiring a bard/war epic is a pipe-dream? Is it RMT? Or do these guilds that are completely decked out in BIS gear really need more plat? Perhaps the price of peridots is just an unimaginable drain on guild banks that they simply go through hundreds of thousands in a single plane of fear raid.

P99 has been around a long fucking time and with practically no currency sinks it has stagnated to retarded proportions of platinum in the market.

Without taking the RMT situation seriously and making it a constant priority the damage will be(if not already) impossible for new players to even compete without succumbing to RMT themselves. The end-game will forever be a ghost town.
