RMT Again

[quido]

60% of my plat magically disappeared by buying like 5 sets of gear on red =)

Meh, MQ epics/item recharging was available/known to less than 1% of classic live. Could easily argue that in the same way boxing was available yet rare (and disallowed on project 1999) MQ of epics should be prohibited also.

Character sales and RMT both hard to track but it doesn't stop them from being against the rules.

Less than 1% eh - did you do a poll?

Way to completely avoid the valid point I made regarding the scarcity of some of these "classic feature" and be a dick all at the same time!

Please introduce any evidence whatsoever supporting a claim that any of previously named mechanics were in any way widespread or common.

No... It wouldn't.

Just view it the same as Account Trading.

It may be difficult to track but it would remove them from EC Tunnel and the forums. I'm sure there will be under the table agreements going on, but if the server rules against it and says you cannot do this, it becomes a lot more difficult for a buyer and MQer to meet up.

When they do the devs can see a 30k trade then 10min later see a Jagged Diamond Dagger trade then 1min later see a level 1 Rogue complete an epic.

MQs wouldn't be banned, just the sale of them. It may even lead to... *gasp* uncamped Ancient Cyclops and free Chardok or KC pipe MQs, looted by people who just want to help others.

PS - This comes from someone who has sold several epic piece MQs and bought a few piece MQs as well. I just thought it would be an interesting scenario to consider.

or some asshole sitting there all day selling loot rights, as would be his right to do under the proposed rules

Possible... Yes.

But that's far more inconvenient and volatile of a market to be sustainable. The minute someone isn't there and the piece drops or mob spawns, you lose out on your platinum because they aren't there.

If AC spawns and no one is there who wants to buy loot rights, then what? Can't really just kite him around. Or I suppose you could if you're a dick.

Same goes for most epic pieces.

Would be very interesting if they banned the sale of MQs and transference of platinum from blue to red...

That would be great. Red server wide /ooc is flooded with offers looking to trade 90k blue for 30k red or selling Trak BPs.

Shits annoying.

[Argh]

They'd have to nerf the ability to MQ rather than implement a ban on that sales of them for it to make any difference. It would probably have a bigger impact on guilds than it would farmers.

they specifically did a lot of work to make MQs functional - would be retarded to disable them now

shit's classic bros - great way to facilitate alts and keep people on the server who otherwise might be a lil spent
