RMT Again

[picaro11]

Nothing more fail to the realist degree than a bunch of moral high-grounders. Its delusional to think that banning people who actually have money to throw away costs you no opportunity. Your kids gotta eat sometime. Or better yet...they could've eaten better. This assumes some dumbass out there thought you were worthy to survive in the first place.

Didn't really set the world on fire did ya.

So please, spare us the bullshit. Just ban and do yourself a potential favor and shut up. Cause if Blizzard wanted to cut a check for this entire project and flip it upside down...trust me...for the right price...you'd do it. Bank always wins. Welcome to the world. Virtual trooper.

So, once you put your petty idealism aside, you'll realize it isn't the people willing to throw their money away that's nowhere near as stupid as you are for turning it away. Dumbass.

Well, I disagree. And I hope that my opinion does not entice a further ban, as insinuated by several forum posters...

The guys ban almost 50% of their entire users who are online at any given time because..."of the rules"?

Fuckin guys are nuts. And if "ill just take my money elsewhere" doesnt mean anything to these guys, then let it be so. There is a reason why the invisible hand has only drawn me over to the Blizzard camp. Who posted record profits this last quarter. And who..by the way...is benefitting from the greatest fuckin monetary easing boost this country has every seen in history.

How's that "missed opportunities" convo goin over on your end there P1999 staff?

Show me a regression model where the R-squared of that single variable explains the user number you speak of and I might believe you.

Listen. I came back from Costa Rica 2 weeks ago and met an entire group of Blizzard game producers who were staying at one of the best suites out there and partying hard. One of them got married on the beach. I highly doubt that kind of money is sloshin around at P1999. And much less anyone a wife of a P1999 staff being courted to such a wedding. But boy i bet she wished she did. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Another funky fact. Its not even THEIR IDEA. These guys just Emulated this and they can actually mint some money and they aren't. W/e. Just bought another lvl 90 char boost from Blizz for 60 bucks (my 3rd one). Meh.

It doesn't surprise me. Amongst the most resource destitute you'll always find those who try to compensate with the belief in some "morality" conjured out of thin fuckin air. Its a recurring pattern that echos all throughout history. This crowd and these behavioral underpinnings is no different.

Sirken, I don't see what looks bad, I didn't delete any character off of the account I am petitioning, and used no method whatsoever.

hi there, if you had actually read my post, youd notice, i did not quote you, and was not speaking to you.

thanks for playing

Look. Your reality is your perception. You wanna focus on something specific for your own reasons thats your ordeal. You're the cinder block i guess?

All I am saying is there's alot of opportunity to be had. Why can't you guys seem to respond in kind with the right answer for once instead of building all this emotion behind a wrong one? I mean, you're basically saying...
o.k we banned you for breaking a black/white rule" after all this resource spent researching maybe. Only to turn around and spend more resources and say "well..we'll spend an ADDITIONAL amount of resources to judge as to whether your account should be reinstated" and not show a godamn thing for it? Its beyond any "survival" and rational understanding to me.

And yes. Blizz is paid and you are not. Just because you aren't monetizing....I suppose all is lost and you shouldnt think of a creative solution to monetize? i dont get your point. And while the rest of the world is concerned about spurring demand for all this supply...you my friend are taking the world for granted amid all this demand and you just choose not to supply it.

And stop acting like guys like me are the godamned enemy FFS

apple or cinderblock, doesnt matter to me honestly.

rules exist for a reason, and players simply dont get to decide which ones they are going to follow. if we say do not rmt, then that means we are ready to dump our time and efforts into punishing the people involved it in. but for the same reason black markets exist irl, if theres a demand, people will fill that demand (legal or not). no law enforcement force on the planet stops 100% of all crime, and no game company stops 100% of the rule breaking. but i think we do a very good job. for safety purposes, we ban all the accounts that could even possibly be guilty, to ensure we shut down all the accounts involved. sometimes this means innocent players get caught up in the mix. that is the only reason an account would be reinstated.

we have no intent or desire to monetize project1999. we are proud that we offer the best EQ Classic experience to everybody on the internet for free. because we love this game. there are TONS of Pay2Win games, or cashshop games, or games that allow RMT. hell there are even eqemu servers that allow it. and you are free to play on any of them. but we will not allow it here.
