Lol, please, show me proof of these MMO's that were destroyed by RMT.

I work my ass off for my money, 60+ hours a week. When and if I find the time to play I still like to be competitive or a contender. In my eyes that's just the same as working my ass off in-game, except I am putting my time in to the REAL world. If I decide to spend some of my hard earned cash to help me get to the end of a game at a faster rate, so I can compete, then what's the big fucking deal?

This isn't Pay to Win, it's Pay to be able to play.

Huh? Buying plat makes you neither.

If you want to compete, join a real guild and compete. If you want to be a contender, play the actual game and contend.

You're just being dishonest with yourself. You bought pixels because for some reason you felt inferior without them. This is likely a trend which likely pervades your life outside Norrath, too.

I just want you to know: you're okay, just being you. <3

I understand that buying plat doesn't just instantaneously make you a contender, but it helps speed up the process of getting to that point. That is what I am trying to say.

Again, this is just delusional thinking.

Buying plat speeds up one thing: your exit from Project99.

There is no sum which can purchase glory. You either kill the dragon or you don't.

With risk there is reward. Didn't work out for me this time.

So... you want to be "a contender" but don't want to (or can't) put in the time/effort to get there? You think all those hours you spend at work should also count towards your EQ progress at home? You basically want to have your cake and eat it, too. This game was designed to be a TIME SINK. If you don't have the time, you won't get to the same point as someone who does. That's all there is to it. There are lots of people playing on this server who routinely put in 12+ hours per day to advance themselves -- why do you think you deserve the same results when you're unable to put in the same amount of work?

Lol, sorry that I have a life and can't play 12 hours a day or more. After being here for over a year now I still don't have a level 60, because it still takes time to be able to get to the end. Just because I bought plat to gear my self on one account to ease the pain of leveling doesn't mean I get to just skip the time and effort of making it to the end. When I get to play though, it helped out with slightly less down time and a little faster kills. Almost my whole experience here has been solo, with every class I have played. Why? Because I don't have the time to sit in a group for hours.

Having better gear than the avg player at your level does not mean I won't be putting in the same amount of work and time, and if you think it does, than you are a fool.
