guilds buying chars and accounts with DKP

[Jauna]

I owe my soul to the company store..

It would be a stretch and an over reach to mandate that guilds could not award DKP to members that level/power level "guild bots" for whatever purpose. DKP is a token economy that rewards members for their time performing guild activities. At the core of your statement DKP would need to be completely removed from P99 and by proxy all DKP Guilds.

Good read on Token Economies and DKP.

You know you got a hook when they start using lawyer/petition terminology <3

Yeah dkp isnt real money, man

You seem way too immersed may i suggest a break?

How is this different than offering PL services for plat? DKP (funny money) = plat (funny money).

Also, both are ridiculous and pathetic, but as with everything else on a nostalgia box, you have to ask yourself- who's being hurt here?

Hmm good point. If you shut it down then it would hurt someone. Guilds are not corporations whom can own characters and pay their members like employees. I mean it's pretty damn explicit in the rules " Account trading and selling is not allowed on Project 1999 in any form." this was changed for very good reasons. Chardok AoE was shut down for reasons of a similar vein. This is just the newest scheme and while there will always be more it's damn funny to see people get irate when someone knocks over their sandcastle.

I agree with Nexii:

Dkp although flawed is the most fair system.

Just for further clarification, it also says:

Currency includes all forms of real world OR virtual currency (IE, bit-coins, WoW gold, etc) AND real world items (Pizza's, Blooming Onions, Televisions, etc). Do not joke about RMT on Project 1999.

Seems pretty clear that DKP is a "virtual currency" and thus does apply ... although I agree with others that this would be difficult to enforce. Not impossible though: we've all seen what salty neckbeards are willing to do for revenge when they leave a guild.

Terrible post.

By this logic buying any item in ec with plat (“virtual currency”) is a bannable rmt offense.

Plat ingane money. DKP is an out of game digital currency.

Obvious solution is obvious! Ban DKP and all the guilds & players who are participating in this corrupt abomination of a thinly disguised RMT scam.
