I still can't believe that people actually spend their real money on plat or items. I mean, I can understand donating to the server because you think it's awesome (or whatever). But do people really care that much about having the best of the best items? C'mon! It's supposed to be a game you play for fun, I can't imagine that spending money on items and getting banned is really all that fun. Just play the game! O.o

Like many have said in this thread a lot of us have real lifes now and don't get to sit at home and make sammichs all day and play eq.

I get that... But there are also many people that have real lives, play, and don't break the rules. They get to continue their casual play without losing all of their legitimately earned items/platz.

Good luck competing with the guilds here composed of people on unemployment and government benefits.

Which makes me wonder.. how exactly is this server funded?

[smedlysmom14]

RMT is never going to stop. There is a demand so there will be a supply. In another 2 to 3 months its gonna pick back up again, then another 5 to 6 months from now there will be another ban wave. It'll just break the community again and allow a few select individuals to walk away with peoples money.

The only way to fix the problem is to release more content (velious), and regulate it and/or tax it (pay for server shit so the staff/donations doesn't have to). Taxing in a sense could be hard to do though cause it could pose legal problems for Rogean and the staff that run P99.

Something has to be done though unless the staff just likes playing the white knight card and doing "the gods work" of banning the "evil" rmters over, and over again...

Obviously people are willing to break the rules just to be better then the next guy. Regardless of how much or how little time you have to play, the game is fun without the best gear. I'm not sure what the point of spending time on any game where you can just 'cheat' your way through it to get ahead.

If 'I' didn't earn it or EC buy it with Plat I earned while playing, I can not really call it my own. I possess it but I didn't play the game for it. Not really sure I'd be interested in playing if I had all the best stuff anyways.

I've been on the server since 2011 and I enjoy 'the game' and what my toons are what I've accomplished while playing it. Not a factor of how much disposable income I have.
