RMT Again

I can only imagine your frustration, but that is just simply not true. I've spent most of my total P99 playtime in EC and have not been lumped in with RMT bans. There was undoubtedly one unfortunate incident you were involved in that was suspicious for one reason or another. Frequent trading or even transferring items does not automatically flag you as an RMTer. Of course the transfers could be dangerous I suppose if they were high value items, but who asks random strangers to help them transer a fungi or 100kpp?

So is it basically safe to transfer items/plat for random people who ask as long as the total value is not too high? Sometimes posts on here make me scared to do transfers for people, but at the same time I like to be able to help. After this last RMT ban wave, I pretended to be afk when someone asked me and I felt bad.

I definitely won't be doing transfers for anyone but my closest friends at this point.

I've done transfers for tons of people through the years but these days its becoming increasingly obvious how bad an idea that may be.

I've transferred expensive shit for random strangers including a fungi tunic and 10s of thousands of pp, presumably these people saw the BDA guildtag on my mule and figured they were safe, without ever getting caught up in an RMT ban wave. Just lucky not to have been used by any RMTers I guess. Staff does seem to be very quick to clear accounts with only a single suspect transaction when the player is polite and can provide the info necessary to clear them (i.e. name of char who received the MQ and logs of the conversations and MQ with timestamps.) Always have your log running and don't be an ass to the staff seem to be the keys.

I.e. guilty until proven innocent? Since when does the burden of proof (that it didnt happen) lie in the hands of the accused. This seems a bit back-asswords as far as modus operandi go.

Let me check the constitution of Project1999.

I don't see a First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, or Fourteenth Amendment. I also don't think P99 signed on to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 11.

You think this is Judge Joe Brown son?

Still waiting on my petition to be resolved. It's been viewed 12 times, no replies from any GMs... very irritating, I've done nothing wrong. What's the hold up on a response? Even just a quick "we're investigating" would be nice, then I'd at least know that SOMETHING is happening...

Do your job GMs!! You started this project, people donate funds to keep it rocking, and you did the massive ban wave... it's now time to exercise adequate customer service skills for your customers. You need to set more realistic expectations for people who join p1999 - have extra accounts or trade too often and you will most likely be scooped into a ban wave. Then you will wait weeks before you find out if your request is even being processed.

I have 18 accounts and none have been banned other then 1 that i got while account trading was legal and the previous owner was a RMTer. Luckily i had gone through Bob and had logs and was cleared. Also Bongs has had more then 6 or 8k transactions or something like that last time i was told and i've never been banned on the account. So no if you do tons of trades or have a lot of accounts you wont automatically get caught up in it. In your case you just RMT'd and decided to come here and whine for whatever reason.

probably best legit upset rant I've read this year...

If I hear another goddamn entitled nerd demand better "service" from a totally free-to-play server and it's operators... I just don't know what I'll do.

P99 Devs and Guides do this out of pocket and with their free time. These people are under no obligation to even continue hosting the project, much less "respond in a timely manner" to petitions. I'm assuming the majority of us aren't raging 13-year-olds playing Minecraft but adults capable of a little more critical thought and empathy.

If you donated it doesn't give you a soapbox to demand anything. The donation is more a gift to your fellow players than anything else to support the world you share.

If you were banned and don't know why, maybe stop trading with strangers and use your nose a bit when doing guildie transfers. If you were banned and you know why, make a new new account and keep your fan fiction to yourself.
