Given plat..

[Ravager]

Yep. There's nothing suspect about being handed 56k for no reason whatsoever.

That literally happens to me all the time.

Same thing happened to me. GMs aren't going to believe you and people on the forum refuse to believe that someone would give away 56K (my amount). I e-mailed and spoke to a RMT'er before about this, and they said it was a common tactic to unload some plat like that to throw off the transactions, but doesn't always work as you can tell.

BTW you guys' reasoning that he hadn't bought anything yet for 3 days being a sign of guilt confuse me. Not everyone plays every day.

And don't you guys think he probably posted on the petition forum first?

Guy handed me a cool million in cash the other day. Now the cops won't believe I had nothing to do with the bank robbery. There is no justice man!

That doesn't make ANY sense whatsoever. How is unloading large amounts of plat on random people making their transaction history look any less suspicious?

Yes, and the GMs either ignored him or gave him an answer he didn't want to accept, which is why he's making a last-ditch effort to try to appeal to the general public and praying to find a way to squirm out of the hole he dug himself.

Even in the very unlikely (almost impossible) scenario that someone hands you a bunch of plat at random, you are still an idiot for accepting it without asking any questions.

It's more that he knew he got banned within a day but was looking for 10k's worth of gear for over a day.

Admittedly maybe he found out the date he was banned through petition rather than logging into the game, but to me it looks like he planned on getting 10k, was looking on things to spend it on in advance, then when he received the 10k he got banned.

Of course, I could be mistaken.

Jimmy, and we will call you Jimmy, as your for certain you are rustled.

Jimmy, if you had a random benefactor, the staff can see what occurred. Down to the food you eat, and when you click /gems.
So hit up the petition forum and see what happens.

The Deru, the Enom, and the Sirk will sort you out if it merits love.
If they think for a moment you RMT.... done, and will be sacrificed to the Rogean's gas pedal in his car he drives way to fucking fast.

Just FYI... they give zero shits if you are a butt head RMT, if you are honest, they will fix you up.
If not, dust in the pixel wind......... blows............ sparkles....... *******************
Oh you are gone.

When I started playing on this server I remember wondering if something like this could happen. I mean, I'll make a pit stop in FoB to hand out 30p for spells to random necromancers. But I get the feeling it isn't common practice to hand out 10k to random mules at your local bank.

The thing I really don't get though, is if these kinds of "problems" can't be resolved with petitions...what are we, the members of a public forum for a game we don't even pay for, supposed to do about it?

Then I remember that I read these forums for entertainment and I feel a lot better.

It's not unheard of: once I actually had a really awesome player that I had just met give me a 22k item. The thing is though, Derubael and Sirken have a ton of information at their disposal, so they can tell an actual player who happens to be generous from an RMTer pretty easily. Anyone claiming that they were a "victim of generosity" is full of crap, because if that were really the case the GMs would know (or, worst case scenario, the GMs would make a mistake and then fix it in response to a legitimate petition).

I've probably given away 100k or so of stuff over the years; I always try to make sure it's new players who get it, but it's never a lump sum cash payment of several k. Usually it's just 1k at a time or some items worth a few k, and I always make a game of it, the first noob to jump off the spires, etc.

Nobody honest gives away 10K+ without making some kind of post about it on the forums and making a public spectacle of it. At least that's what I've seen in my time here.

Haha by 'given plat' dude scammed it offering to trade red for blue. No RMT was involved. Whats funny is he got his account banned over 10k and then tried to run to the boards and throw himself at the mercy of the community like it would do anything. I wish his story would have included more details like the '2 brothers afk boxing' guy or any of the other dumbfucks that get caught being dumbfucks.
