You're missing a key part of what I was saying: Intent.
If the intent is to maliciously lock out content that other players are capable of doing themselves for the sole purpose of creating a power monopoly and charge extortion, that isn't right. They are never afforded the opportunity to do anything else BUT purchase rots/epics/whatever.

Complaining about those sorts of things isn't entitlement either, especially when they could take their guilds and go out and kill all those mobs themselves, if they were ever up.

Also, if I remember correctly, a guild fairly recently had 400+ accounts banned for RMT, and before that, 100 or so accounts banned for hacking. It was made fairly public by Rogean himself.

The guild name escapes me however...

400 accounts across the server, all guilds. Well, a lot of guilds

I love how that number gets bigger and the charges are worse every time the story gets told.
BTW, I heard it was 150 people arrested for ritual sacrifice of kittens.

Ok, you were implying heavily that they were from my guild which absolutely isn't the case. One of the motives to RMT is to have nice stuff in game. Guess what? TMO members had the nicest stuff in the game and there wasn't much incentive to risk your account to buy stuff you could get for free. The other motive is to make money. As a raider for 2 years in TMO, I can assure you it's probably the worst way to make platinum. We didn't, most of us, play that casual pleb game in Seb farming plat in the pixel mines. The only people with enough plat to make money off it were the guild bankers and those accounts are under pretty heavy surveillance from staff and not involved in RMT activity. The TMO guild bank still being intact is a testament to that.

So I guess, peasant, my question for you is what exactly are you trying to say?

I'm pretty sure it was 177 for the kitten thing

Regardless of the parties involved, RMT is bad.

Wasn't it all because of one dude who had access to all of the accounts?

It was two very well known dudes, with 80+ accounts, absurd amounts of items/plat, and absolutely nobody knew about it but them. It was completely isolated from any guild activity, because it's extremely easy to pawn of millions of plat within the guild with nobody knowing.

It was blue diamonds, and it was pretty easy to move because I was buying them to give away on the guild resist mules I run.

Petitioning myself when I found out was rather pleasant.
