RMT Again

[Argh]

Outlawing MQ sales would probably make it much easier for RMT to take place, because every MQ transaction would then have no corresponding plat transaction, whereas now only RMT and guildbank/friend MQs have no plat trail.

I dont follow your logic on how outlawing it make RMT easier.

I'm sure people buy RMT epics already... In which case no play exchange happens anyways.

Currently MQs happen:
RMT - No plat exchange
Guildies/Friends - No plat exchange
MQ sale - Large sum of plat given in an empty trade.

Banning MQ sales:
Same as above but no MQ sales. Maybe some lazy people shift to RMT. Maybe some shift to joining guild/making friends. Maybe some start to give away free epic pieces just to help dudes.

Anywho I just thought it would be an interesting change on the server. Seeing less shitsocking Ragefire or pickpocketting rogue GMs or buying pipe MQs. Maybe more people helping others out and offering those MQs for free to be a nice dude.

I agree with the purpose of your request....but I sincerely doubt it'd have the desired results. Not here; not with this community. There are just too many folks here who would rather burn everything down than act like decent people. Long story short, you can't fix the server when you have a broken community.

Velious armor was MQ tons on lower level toons because there was no level restrictions on the clickies. Nothing like a level 25 necro running around with a robe that had conjure corpse clickie.

JBoots were always MQ'd too. Everybody knew that :P Whatcha talkin' 'bout Ducks?

Yeah MQ of jboots was pretty common. I guess I'm talking about MQ of epics and Other high end items till much later in the time line.

restrict MQ for epics to 46+ would help somewhat

on live alot of the epic npc's wouldnt even talk to you before level 46, and some not even until you were 50+

When I happen to be in EC, which I try to avoid it seems like I get asked often to do a transfer for someone. I guess I seem very trusting. Should I be telling people no, or is there little to no risk doing their transfer?

I know GMs don't really disclose their methods but if I do a transfer unknowingly for a RMT guy, is that going to burn me as well or is it easy for them to spot the difference?

Taxes. Taxes. TAXES. TAXESSSS.. How does noone realize every ban day happens at Tax Season.

These RMT dudes need to fill out invoices and paperwork for every transaction. I am sure this information is not hard to obtain due to the nature of the situation. They may even be legally obligated to give a copy of the 1099's because they are earning through a institution p99 are running.

I'm sure its not where all the banned accounts come from, but I bet its the majority.
