Oh snap get him Phatez!

You heard it here folks. If you played blue and weren't part of a rule breaking, greedy, likely RMT'ing, team of farmers holding the earth staff hostage for a million plat payoff from desperate mages.... you were a BAD EQ PLAYER AND SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

Which is PRECISELY why I've said that the whole idea of "reputation" means next to nothing here on P99.

So many styles of character and play that would have disqualified you from any respectable/capable Guild during Vanilla are downright CELEBRATED qualities on these servers!

Yes it does, it shows that he obviously has more social skills than some unemployed drugees spending all their waking hours farming emu loot to RMT and fund their drug habits/pay rent.

Let's be honest, they aren't paying rent.

People start criticizing RMTers and Phatez is immediately compelled to step in and defend how much "skill" it takes to monopolize camps for RMT. Hmm....

It was equally present back in classic EQ too. Who gives a fuck if someone wants to make a few hundred dollars playing a video game or sell their shit when they leave.. Get over it. RMT moaners are about 5x worse than RMT itself. inb4 ""b bu but it hurts the gameplay since high value items get camped" oh, okay tell me more [You must be logged in to view images.

It's against the server rules, that is fine. But whining about it as if it ruins your immersion or makes the offender an evil person is pathetic. Grow a pair.
You miss the point. It's not about trading real currency for digital items to begin with. It's about the fact that since it existing gives it real value, and when people see that value they never know when to quit. So you show up, and you want an item to play with in the game, and to you that item represents its worth in game and whatever time it takes to get it, but to them, it's infinitely more valuable because it represents real money. Which means they never have enough. They never know when to quit. There is always more, more, more, and because of the difference in perceived value one is willing to go so much further and stoop so much lower in order to get what they want. It ruins the game for people who just want to play as intended. One person is playing a game, and the other person is working a job.

When they go to any lengths to get that dollar over people who are just playing the goddamn game, it doesn't make them evil, it just makes them a complete and total dick.

Exactly. Fuck those people. I want to play for fun and I'm competing with some dollar sign motherfucker. I don't want rmt-driven assholes on this server. Every interaction becomes some high charged affair because of money. People doing super shit moves to keep their camp, never would do it if money wasn't involved.
