I don't know where this thought process comes from but you cannot buy power in the overwhelming majority of today's MMO's. This is true about nearly every western MMO (certainly every western MMO I can think of).

Rift, WoW, EQ, EQ2, Wizardy Online, TSW, SW:TOR, etc do not support RMT for currency (bannable offense) and do not allow you to purchase power with cash shops. There is no way in hell the OP got the idea that it is OK to buy pp with real-world currency from playing modern MMOs. Shit gets you banned there too, if they catch you.

There's plenty of games where you can buy gear, potions, and items that make the game easy mode. The point I was making is that if that's how you want to play, then why not play one of those games instead of cheating on this one?

Just to the few of you out there who knew me well enough from grouping, etc. My account was banned for RMT, in retrospect I feel like an idiot for not trying to find out if it was against the rules or not. (I legitimately didnt know) I had multiple other players I grouped with along the way tell me about Platlord and figured...well if other people in game are doing it, why can't I.....it must be ok.

I bought 15k (twice) and twinked a lowbie rogue and got some gear for myself...I finally wasnt the only twink in groups. I had no interest in doing any more RMT, no reason to go crazy but for once I felt I wasn't undergeared in every group I was in.

I guess a lot of people probably already know RMT is a bannable offense, I didn't...again I guess that is my own fault for being ignorant/not being on the forums all the time. I just relied on information from players in the game....you know kind of like back in P1999.

Just wanted to say goodbye to those of you I shared good times with, I don't have enough time to think about leveling up another character from scratch after already doing it once. I am really going to miss this game, I hope this saves someone else from doing what I did.

I hate to this happen, if you decide to come back, i wouldnt mind throwing you a few thousand plat, and maybe a plevel or 2 .

You're not the only person who has expressed similar beliefs. It's a common thread around here. People think F2P games mean you can drop cash and have a maxed-out character, and that's the opposite of true because that would destroy their entire business model.

It's also a cop-out excuse used by people like the OP who cheat in other MMOs and don't get caught because the systems aren't in place to police them the way they are here.
