I'm sure most of the RMTers are from AM / Tempest / Core / Riot / Awakened and all the other guilds that had dominated any content "worth paying for." Should be easy to track it down.

Or just track anyone selling things for 500k+ and probably safe to assume they're one of em too.

There have been a -ton- of high end items hitting the market in the last few weeks. Liquidating to hit the RMT market like the IB boys did.

Not a defender of RMT by any means, but it is inaccurate to suggest it isn't classic. EQ items were being ebayed from shortly after launch, leading to the various articles and academic papers about how the EQ economy was situated somewhere between Bulgaria and Russia in terms of GDP - e.g. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sci/tech/1899420.stm Anecdotally, I met a guy at a party at U of M in 2001 who claimed to have made >$100k ebaying fbss' in the early days when he could charge $3k a pop. Probably an empty boast but not impossible...

Then, as I understand it, the plat to dollar conversion plummeted after the whole rog dev/fake banker in befallen scandal. https://www.takproject.net/forums/in...befallen.4337/

Prohibiting RMT is definitely better for the game, but there are those moments when I think about the time I spend farming guards for my fungi as contrasted with my billable rate in the real world. I have to take a second and remind myself that I actually enjoyed smashing guards, or the napkin math would be seriously depressing.

Fantastic articles. I remember that and remember the whole eBay thing and seeing items for sale. Blew my mind that people did that. Crazy times for sure. Glad it’s being cracked down on here because it really is unfair for the rest of us.

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.
