The only thing I can think of in this case is that there may have been logs that demonstrate that you knowingly sold a proxy to someone who in some way indicated where their plat was coming from (RMT). This would be guilty by association. Perhaps you don't remember it, or didn't comprehend what someone was admitting to you at the time, but the result is the same.

That said, sellers of anything need to be careful when conducting transactions. If your gut calls into question the source of a buyer's money... perhaps it's better to hang on to your goods until a more trustworthy consumer comes along.

I would think there is a more compelling reason for banning than "he accepted money from someone who RMT'd". With that said, who couldn't see the Chardok scene turning into an RMT/boxing paradise from a mile away?

Note that I said "knowingly" accepted plat from someone who RMT'd (logs). There is a difference.

Your second comment was that people need to be careful when selling, implying that they could get banned for having RMTed plat on them regardless of their knowledge of it.

Which won't happen.

So awesome, I'm fully supportive of instantly and permanently banning all persons related to rmt. It keeps the game fun. Thanks guys

I am aslo but I did not buy plat

This server is about the "whole" EQ experience. Not just the end-game EQ experience. I realize is takes TONS of time to get to the end-game experience, and many of us no longer have that time in our lives, but there is still a fantastic experience to be had at the early stages of the game. I had so much fun coming up through Crushbone, Unrest, Upper Guk.

I know its hard to wait through all of that, especially when you are back to good old EQ in which leveling is so much harder then the average game today. But it is part of the game, there is not an option to just skip that part via purchasing in game items to speed you through that stage.

I do support the GMs decision.

I always hate to see the server lose people though. I realize many of the RMTers were just toxic, and thank god they are gone. I do feel bad for the people though that showed up on the server. Realized how far behind they were, and how inflated all the prices are due to how long the server has been running, and paniced, and made a bad decision.

I wish there was a way we could Just wipe everything off a character, and let them keep their exp, but be naked and penniless. But we would have to know which ones were not toxic, and realize how much it harms the P99 economy.

There is no way to know. The GMs made the right decision to just take a hard stance on it and say it is not tolerated at all.

Just after a posted a noticed a perfect example of who needs to be banned. Neem, trying to stir up drama on his way out.

I am sure they missed tons of people in the first waves because there is plenty of tracking to do to determine who is truly RMTing, and who just got some generous donations or loans. Its not as simple as just seeing a high value item go in a trade window without compensation. Its looking for a trend over time.
