#1 - I don't really care about someone twinking alts, isn't this thread supposed to be about account buying/selling?

#2 - Don't be retarded. If you think rampant account selling/buying only affects you and only you then jeez you are thick.

The tunnel is the most unique feature of P99. Really, no one should be playing here unless their main interest is tunnelquesting, because there are literally hundreds of games that do everything else EQ does better, but there is only one tunnel.

This whole argument boils down to sour grapes. People get jealous when they see others spending more plat than they themselves have, and accumulating things they can't have. Maybe you indigent folks should play the game as it is rather than demanding changes simply because you can't control your own greed impulses.

Nope.

Just noticing some odd reactions, and commenting.

Your reaction here is quite strong, by the way.

Wait what?

Really? You're going with this? Really!?
What is your basis for your claim that all people who don't approve of account buying/selling are just a bunch of greedy children who can't handle their own greedy impulses?

I can already tell you that you're wrong on at least one count. And I'm willing to bet money that I'm not the only one who disapproves of it for reasons you seem to be willfully excluding from your counter "argument".

Who is going to miss the EC sellers spamming up the place? The same pussbags that whined when Sony put the bazaar in the game.

I am not saying to do away with EC or the economy. Player accounts are not part of the economy. They were never intended to be used as such.

Bazaar was the beginning of the end.

Fuck the bazaar.

Heh. I'm a pussbag!

Bracing argument, by the way. You've shaken my world view with such compelling positions.

WARNING: OPINION INCOMING

Seems it boils down to this: Some folks see EQ as a place to have a community. Others see it as a single-player game with real spectators to oo and ah at their "accomplishments".

WARNING: OPINION COMPLETE

Not an opinion, this is just fact. Best post I have seen in a long time.
