RMT Again

[Sirken]

do you guys even realize i had to be sirken on not one, but TWO sundays over this crap? thats the real crime here.

let me try to help any RG nerds that might read this. RMT logs, like herpes, do not just go away. they might quietly stay dormant for a while, but also like your herpes, will never ever go away.

you can play on this server for free, forever. or, you can spend real money and lose all the time and effort you put into your character when we do our RMT waves. and i promise you, that you will be caught [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i understand that some people have more time than money, and theres TONS of games and servers out there for you, that allow RMT transactions, this is just not one of those servers.

Honestly if you just have too much Real Money, and you feel the need to buy items. Donate it to the Server. We will get velious sooner (Hopefully), big guilds will move to new zones. Your guild will start getting more loots, and before you know it... BAM! In 6 to 12 months from your money being spent you will get items!

Your heard it here first!

I play casually on Takp. Big level 15, three boxing. Crap gear. Can maybe afford one or two spells when I do level.

Hmmm. $20 for 10k plat. And I never have to worry about farming plat to buy spells. That 250 plat sword for sk, that triples my dps?

And you ask why? And you make it sound like tons of money is spent? Not always.

Try a guild just trying to break into the raiding scene. Barely enough gear. But a bit short on dots, for cleric buffs. Maybe need some EEs for emergency necro rez? Everyone in guild is poor. What do you do?

For $50, the whole guild is supported for raiding for next 3 months. Done.

Not everyone is a neckbeard with a million plat in the bank.

Everyones situation is different. So dont be so quick to judge.

However. You get caught. U get banned. Deal with it.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Amen, Haynar. Well said. There are legit reasons to break the rules, but you're still breaking the rules. The consequences are known, so you better be willing to accept them. Nuff said.

I think what all that needs to be said about this situation has been said. Lets move on. :P

[Raijingeki]

Well said, Haynar.

I empathize with RMTers to an extent. They want a leg up and a fast track to the end. I understand how getting a fungi tunic at the beginning of the game changes how you are able to play it. And I get the desire of being able to do that.

However try to remember what you are doing classic when you start here. Just enjoy your ride to the top. Don't try to skip it your first time coming back through classic and Kunark.

I don't have any sympathy for RMTers who got banned though.

Derubael would be sad to not be a part of these bannings. I know he loved smacking down RMTers.

First off thanks to the GM staff for their efforts to clean up the server.


Rogean: Without a list of the names involved this may mean little, but why does it seem the these waves get the middle men and the buyers and not the most important people in the process.

This guy even blames the buyers, sure the process takes both kinds, but the suppliers in the RMT schemes have to be coming from some of the Largets and most advanced on the server, trace the Items and plat back to these people and ban those accounts and we can get somewhere.

If there wasnt a demand there would be no need for a supply.

[VANVEM]

There will always, always, always be a demand. If there was no supply then the demand would just not be satisfied, but the problem would be resolved.

Also this is where the tinfoil hats get there ammunition to accuse the staff. Get rid of the power brokers and the entire server would be better served, get rid of the small potatoes and we have entertainment for one day

So if a crack dealer moved into your neighborhood and started a fairly lucrative ring, do you think that the problem would go away after he got arrested?
The answer is no. There are now crack addicts living in your neighborhood. They want crack. They may get arrested, but they'll be back out. Then they will want more crack. There will always be a dealer for them as long as they want it. Someone else will move in once they realize there is a demand for their product.
Now, if everyone in your neighborhood decided that they were going to absolutely abstain from the crack, then the dealer would have just moved on and went somewhere else. The problem is both the dealer and the people buying. But the solution can only come from the people. Just stop buying!
