So when did everyone make 100 alts to camp every raid target at once?

Account sales is the root of most evils.

What stopped me from being a dick in game on live? The fact that it took me so long to level my character and I couldn't just re-roll on a whim.

Lets do a server wipe so people learn not to take this all so seriously. Would probably benefit the health of a lot of these people to go outside.

Definitely this ^^

The fact that it's free to play, that you can reroll with another free account and sell your old one with its terrible reputation (or buy another ready made account for similar plat) promotes bad behaviour.

Reputation really was a thing on live. With RnF and stuff here its almost encouraged to be a bad guy...be immortalised in a thread with your name on it. Infamy is much sought after it seems. I don't get it, too much of playing Fable.

Some of us choose to stand by our terrible reputations! =)

Another thing is that I relied on groups exclusively in order to advance my character (get XP) on live. I knew that if I wanted to not stay LFG for hours then I better be good at my class role in the group and have a decent rep. Not only is rep irrelevant here, but there are more Fungi Tunics than actual players on the server. Fungi Tunic was completely unheard of on live.. Whenever I saw someone wearing one it was jaw dropping.

Here 80% of people are wearing them and soloing to 60. And most don't know shit about how to play their class.

I only played up until a few months into Luclin, but someone bought my Fungi tunic (on live, NOT here) for $500, and as a 13 or 14 year old or however old I was that was fucking awesome. Although I'm against RMT here and now because it's just lame. But yeah, if it had been as common as it is here, I would not have gotten that much money.

And the rep thing is an issue too. People that sucked or were douchebags on live were either driven off the server, had to start over, or just had a shitty time.

All i'm saying is when account trading gets banned inflation will be huge. People thought it was bad over the last month or 2. What does everyone think people are gonna do with their plat they have from not buying accounts? Buy all the twink gear they can for all the toons they want to level up and then pay people to PL them. Any zone with good XP is gonna be gone for casual players to use. Personally i buy/sell accounts because its easy to flip them and make a profit. To each their own.

I suck at math and this probably doesn't make sense anyhow, but couldn't they decrease everyone's plat by a certain percentage? I don't know if that works either because I guess some people are still going to be ridiculously rich compared to others.

Really wish there was some solution to this other than "RESET THE SERVER!", because it's not cool for those of us who've worked hard for our shit without cheating and buying accounts. Also, it would be a MASSIVE clusterfuck, there were not this many people here at the beginning of the server, picturing all of us leveling at once... ugh.

I think GM's should stop account trading/selling NOW while they figure shit out, because it's only going to get worse.

Reducing everyone's platinum at the same time only makes it "easier" to keep track of money, but does nothing to combat inflation. I think of the example of Mexico's Nuevo Peso, but its pretty much the same as when people say "85k" instead of "85,000". Its just lopping off zeros to make it easier for everyone counting.

Say we reduced everyone's plat by 90%, so if I had 10k, I now have 1k. I still have the same currency value, since 1k of the New Platinum would be worth 10k of the Old Platinum. Items would be listed in New Platinum prices, but that would correlate to Old Platinum values.

It was a while ago now but I do remember a well geared SK in his 50s asking what the command was to get up from FD... just sad [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Their are a lot of things about this server that gets on my nerves. I have no idea why they allow account selling which wasn't classic or allowed in 1999 but they ban dual boxing which was allowed and classic. Would be nice to be able to duo level some alt characters and avoid having to group with morons who bought their characters and have no idea what the heck they are doing. The high amount of soloers with epics and fungis makes finding or forming a group hard at times.

The raiding on this server makes me puke at how train infested, multi-account camped, emo drama fest it is. Most of the top guilds would be disbanded or banned from the server if they tried half the crap they do here on a live server.

I would be all for some sort of server revert to Kunark release or a new blue server without account selling and with 2 boxing. This would get rid of all the epic wielding fungi wearing twinks and even the playing field again. If you want to have multiple 60s to camp raid bosses then level them from 50-60 your self. Now without your fungis and epics you will have to group more often.

It doesn't help that the GM's have unbanned characters that have gotten banned if you tell them it happened "before you bought the account"

Too lazy to search for the threads
