Nordenwatch's Guide: Rags to Riches

[Daldolma]

This isn't about victimhood, it's about the commons.

Is the entire server victimized by RMT? In some small way, probably -- but not any more so than every single person is victimized by a billion minor external factors that make some aspect of their life sub-optimal.

But what we've got here is a genuine commons. It's open to all, and maintained by server staff. We all benefit from the upkeep of the commons. When you RMT, you shit in the commons. When enough people shit in the commons, we all feel the effects. None of us are personally victimized by any one RMTer, but the cumulative effects impact the server's functionality and legitimacy.

So what someone like Nordenwatch does is make extensive, humiliating, life-ruining use of the commons, then when he's decided he's extracted maximum utility from someone else's sandbox, he cashes out and leaves the sandbox a little worse for the people that remain.

Also, you would be much, much better off working a job at McDonald's in terms of cash-out. Rags to riches guide to burger-flipping coming up next.

Please stop using the word reiterate. This goes for all of you. Look up the pre-fix 're'. Look up the prefix 'iterate'. Then shoot yourself.

You have to understand the mechanics behind it: a new player joins p99, wants to get a fungi tunic for his new rogue he has massive plans to level 60 and raid vp.

New player Buys plat online.....buys fungi tunic from quido for example for 100k pp then quido slips that pp in to his bank and funnels it out to say plat lord for 1.50-2 dollars per k, plat lord sells plat for 4 dollars per k to new player who buys another fungi camped etc etc..

Half the time the newbie quits.....the other half holds on fore awhile and quits...etc etc..

It's not rocket science - if there is a demand for something there is corruption involved somewhere so Tiggles get your head out of TMOs collective arse and wipe the brown nose you have =p
