As far as I know, the server only exists as long as it's free to play, lest it be shut down by Sony. So the clear victims here are a) the giant amount of staff time wasted instead of say, working on Velious and b) possibly the entire server being shut down by asshat lawyers.

Please explain to me what effect this had on the economy? And how was this made at the expense of others? The only argument you can possibly make is that you're mad because BUYERS were able to improve their character quicker than you were. Oh no. Sky is falling. Sure as fuck don't want that happening!

I think the correlation between people raging about this and people who could really use 20k is probably 1.

Haha, this! I promise you the people enraged by this also LOSE THEIR SHIT when somebody gets PL'd in Unrest. That is a 1:1 ratio as well I can PROMISE you.

Ill explain it to you; the man selling platinum to characters in game is also selling items in game.... So he over prices his stuff to the point only an RMT'er could afford to buy from him. Thus further entrenching his tunnel rat scheme and further perpetuating his RMTing.

It was an endless cycle of madness, the saddest part about all of this is; the loser still lies about how much they made and continues to defend themselves on a game they are completely banned from now.

Time to go outside and start your life!

The server is free to play on...what's your point?

By increasing demand RMT increases the price of items, thus making it harder for ordinary players to get them. This is pretty obvious.

No, I make far more than that every year. You may find this difficult to believe, but not everyone likes to move to the top by stepping on other people.

I shouldn't have to explain why an RMT-tolerant model and an utter disregard for the staff's efforts to enforce their own rules harms the server, and bothers people who care about right and wrong- both as a matter of principle and practicality.

It suffices to say that if RMT were both ubiquitous and accepted on p99, I would stay miles away.

Considering that your post is completely unrelated to mine . . . what's your point?

Also for gods sake lets get this thread moved to RNF

gtfo with this buy at your own risk stuff

the majority of people buying plat are new to the server, and dont understand the context or actual risk of banned accounts on p99

taking advantage of the uninformed or misguided doesnt invalidate their status as victims
