So much morality BS here.

RMT doesn't make you a bad person any more than speeding on the freeway. Someone breaking the rules doesn't give ANYONE reason to get up on their high horse and condemn.

Everyone has broken rules for their own convenience, we're all human. The real crime is acting like a righteous person when someone else did something wrong.

Ah, I remember being 14 years old.

Well when someone smokes weed and it's against the law, I couldn't care less. Enjoy!

Unless or course they're driving, or flying a plane, or are supposed to be protecting the rest of us(e.g. if they were on guard duty at a compound I worked at), and somehow my person, property, or time was disrespected as a result of them being stupid, then I think I could indeed get on my high horse and condemn.

That's the thing with RMT: It harms everyone. For those of us who are still beating up HHK guards for fine steel to make platz, we have to now face prices that have been artificially inflated to meet the greed of those who were turning plat into real money. That means more time slaving away at the plat farm to afford things like items needed for epics that are camped 24/7. I'm sorry you can't see the bigger picture.

RMT'ng on P99 does makes you a shitty person. You have no right to charge money for pixels provided by Rogean and co's hard work and charity getting p99 up and keeping it running. It's like taking from a food pantry for the poor and then trying to sell the stuff out of your food truck for profit, shitting all over everyone's generosity in the process to satisfy the greed in your rotten soul.

Everquest: Still the #1 MMO Destination for Sociopaths 15 years after release!

You came and played on a server created by people with no expectations on you other than following the rules. You then proceeded to break the rules with no regard for the rest of the people on the server and helped create an environment that the majority of the people would be against. And now you're trying to rationalize your behavior by pretending that the real assholes are the people that are happy you're gone. Please quit trying to play the victim and just leave.

Fair enough.

You voluntarily entered an extremely high-risk transaction whereby your legal tender was exchanged for an intangible good that carried a high chance of being removed from your possession, or your access to said good denied, at any point in time.

In smaller words, you paid real fucking money for nothing.

Moral high ground? Yeah, I have a little bit of that. Mostly because I'm apparently in a select group of people that wouldn't dream of doing something so utterly fucking stupid. You do not belong to this group, clearly.

Actually, we paid real fucking money for a good amount of enjoyment. If experience and enjoyment aren't worth money, what is? Nobody is going to keep their items forever. The server will die. We just lost them earlier but we still got to have fun with them.

I have to agree with Daysprung here. Although I agree that RMT ruins the server and that it should never be done. The people that do it, until their accounts get banned, get some kind of enjoyment from having good items.

@Spitty, it's kind of like telling someone that they are stupid for buying tickets to a concert or a sporting event. You don't really get anything out of it other than enjoyment from watching some entertainment. These guys didn't get anything other than enjoyment from having good items.

That being said, RMT is dumb, especially when you know it's not allowed on this server and it ruins the economy of the server.

I'd just like to say that these threads have really fulfilled my semantic satiation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_satiation) for the word 'ruins'.

Just keep saying it, you're like, Ru-ins? Runes? Ruins of Kunark? But you ruin-ed the server?

Also the Runed Mithril Tunic.

ruin ruin ruin

Well, that is pretty stupid if the number of Beibers onstage or Bears on the field exceeds zero [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Levity aside, ok - someone bought plat to increase their personal enjoyment on P99. I accept that.

It's still a remarkably stupid decision, given the risk involved. I would draw an analogy of buying a ticket to a concert where there's a 90% chance you'll get inside the venue and the band won't be there. You still get to drive to the concert, fight for parking, get your stub scanned, buy an overpriced beer, the whole live music experience - but when it comes down to the actual entertainment, the curtain never rises and instead you're shown the door.

Dude, learn to read? Did I ever express any outrage over being banned? I can accept that. I just think the hypocrisy is palpable. I won't address anything else in your post because like the majority of the other holy rollers here you're full of spite and misplaced rage.
