Remember all those massive WTS threads by Nizzar?

[oil]

didnt say banning folk = problem solved. in fact youre talking about a serious limitation in ban punishment, im saying it helps the situation

not everyone has the resources to jump right in the game. if you buy from a rmt "crime lord" as you say, you still should be banned equally. it will deter the next guy from making the same mistake

as for distributors, ip bans are possible. force the fuckers to play under VPN. it doesnt really solve the problem but it makes it that much more difficult for them. it wont stop them from playing but at least theyll be reminded theyre scum everytime they set up their connection

better if a more advanced detection method was invented so that buyers and sellers equally can be banned automagically

i can think of a few methods to implement it, but im sure the staff is a step ahead of me in trying

[oil]

oh and by a simple rule: no "buyer" should be banned if there isnt a "seller" banned as well.

if you can prove RMT took place, there should be two parties and therefore a dual ban.

im not fully aware of the ingame limitations, but from a logic standpoint, that should be applicable..

only problem i see is people selling out of mule accounts.. still ips might lead in the right direction, or there may be some kind of pattern of selling

lol no

I'll explain why what you said doesn't make much sense.

There is big difference between someone Buying gear for their character then Selling massive amounts of gear for profit. Just like the law treats having drugs differently than selling them.

Hence the different crimes Possession and Distribution. You wouldn't treat a crime lord the same way you'd treat a guy you found with a dime bag now would you?

Did Sektor single handily destroy the economy? Did Sektor buy and trade so many goods that the economy was inflated and practically destroyed?

Was Sektor's crimes abolished the minute you banned the character he bought the goods for?


And let's not play stupid if you can restrict dual boxing you can certainly restrict someone from ever connecting here again.

But let me guess your going to ignore all the logical and sensible points I illustrated and only respond to flamers.

Your post doesn't even make much sense, and I'm not even sure if you understand who is who in your metaphor. I'm also pretty sure I responded to your points already in my last post. Nizzar and Sektor RMT'd. Nizzar and Sektor got all their characters banned. Nizzar and Sektor are being punished as much if not more than what is usually done for RMT on these servers.

Also, yes, we can restrict people from connecting to the server, but we have to do it manually. That means we reserve that list for a very small and select number of people.

WTF are you talking about VPN this isn't the movie hackers, it's an MMO the mobs and players load from server side, not client. The server has to know your correct traceroute or mobs won't load. You would have to hack the server literally to play on a banned IP or Mac, VPN IP masking does not work when the world loads from client and mobs load from server side.

Otherwise everyone would override the dual boxing rule by VPN masking IP or ghosting IP address.

If they want to fucking ban you for life, trust me they can!

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Speaking of which, do you guys still get the occasional hack attempt from Jessica Soules? She was in tight with Nizzlet. No one was ever quite able to explain how she was able to get staff account names and passwords without any failed login attempts.

Nice...
