Since there's no subscription fee to play P99, the value of plat to a potential buyer is how much he is willing to pay to not farm it himself. As EQ becomes more enjoyable, this value goes down. Therefore, plat sellers are measuring how unfun EQ is.

i think the next time I invest my time into an MMO, i'll likely invest some $ too and take the low/easy road.

at the end of the day, fuck it. it's your time, your money to do with what you want.

Not when your arrogance and self entitlement infringe on a companies business model that affects the rest of the consumers.

Yes, please explain business to me, of all people.

We have already been over this earlier in the thread.

Being a free server doesnt distract from the multi faceted damage of a live server.

Dupe/mudflation seeing rampant goldbuying leaves as just a sour taste in players mouth and detracts new recruits.

There is also the potential of legal repercussions through an unlicensed 3rd party service setting up shop. In a world of ever changing and mind blowing legislation, the last thing you want is to find a letter seeing some guy that got ripped off in a deal is taking you to court.

Bottom line being Rog/Crew say no and its their server and their vision as long as it doesnt hurt ip legal action.
Edit: +1 to kassel

nah Gustahn, i think you misunderstood me, though I wasn't clear overall.

RMTing on P99 is like stealing from a Mom & Pop store - it makes you a literal shithead irl for doing it.

RMTing on Sony, Blizzard, Verant, etc's bill? That's what I'm saying. I'd never think twice about stealing from Walmart.

Its a 3rd party profit without consent. Thats illegal.

F2P is legal as its the company itself that makes the transactions, which is more an ethical question based on the model itself. As their model is based around rented items and not producing curreny from thin air.

What if everybody thought that way about walmart?

What if everyone stole from walmart with the thought oh they make millions its ok. Then walmart would cease to make money, the company would go under and welfare of those who worked for it would be in limbo.
