I mean just think about it for a second

Before platlord was banned PP was between $3-4 per 1k

when he was banned it dropped to $2/k

and it hasnt gone back up despite the fact that platlord is back

think about that REALLY hard

supply and demand essentially dictates that prices go up as supply decreases and that prices go up as demand increases

but platinum is a self generating currency

and prices arent going up despite the fact that x was removed from the economy

Maybe a shit ton of people were banned for RMT and nobody wants to fuck around with it, therefore no demand.

There are lots (and lots and lots and lots) of shell accounts

Only reason Platlord took such a hit was the spreadsheet

There was a whole hell of a lot more than plat on all of his accounts collectively

His assets at one point possibly equaled more total PP than even existed on the server

Here's one thing the GMS dont want you to know:

They dont really have an RMT detection method

Why? Because its impossible to trace transactions back all the way.

Just because an empty transaction for 500k occurs doesnt mean it was necessarily RMT. It could have been an account sale, it cold have been a mule transfer, it could have been a guild bank transfer so all they can do is speculate.

There was no RMT ban wave. All they did was banned accounts linked to Platlords spreadsheets. People who bought from the other RMTers are completely safe (though I suspect some of them are directly linked to PL anyway)

Not to mention that there are certain RMTers that would never get banned regardless of what happened

If Platlord happened to have been a certain other individual, the whole incident would have been swept under the rug
