RMT vs transferring money to other characters

[Herpa Derp]

Unless you RMT'd, no. Everyone's paranoid that if they hold any sum of money they'll get banned though because of how RMTers have been operating. I got ignored for about two hours in EC the other day just trying to transfer 325p for a jboots MQ just to give you an idea. That was from an anonymous ec trader though.

Edit: For everyone out there, all I can suggest is any time you are about to transfer plat for anyone, even friends, just /log any and all of the conversation if you plan on doing it. Just a precaution, you never know.

I've been playing here since 2009, and never had an issue finding help with an xfer in EC. Can't say I understand what you're trying to say bro.

sirken basically said on his podcast that people shouldnt transfer unless its someone you know because you could be aiding rmt plat laundering

not saying i agree with his statement, but he did put it out implying they might get popped for rmt if they do

Maybe it was just bad timing then I guess? I probably asked probably 15 different people that had been moving around recently (trying to avoid people who were sitting afk) and I didn't get a response from anyone, not even a no. I asked in OOC and didn't get anyone to offer for like 5 min after that. Maybe I'm the minority sample in this instance but I've had it happen on a few chars only within the last few weeks.

RMT'ers have been using random people to transfer RMT plat lately which has been leading to a lot of innocent people catching bans, that's where some of it may be coming from. I mean Sirken specifically said on his stream that if someone asks you to hold plat for them and you don't know them to just tell them no or ignore them, period. Again this is also a very recent thing as far as I've noticed, so citing when you made your account is kind of a moot point.

Even if it's a small amount of people ignoring pleas of help for transferring money when before they would normally help, it's still a change whether or not everyone notices.
