You even have people in the forum asking for help with gear when they see how high prices are. Then 3 days later they are in the EC tunnel forum looking to buy pretty high priced items. So most people just put out the $50 on 10k plat to get a jump start. Since leveling is a pain in the ass from scratch and most people don't wanna grind on a 12 year old game they put out the money for leveling gear. This is the norm on the server and I don't think it will change any time soon. I don't know why they just dont open a cash shop lol.

Step by Step Guide to Catching RMT Characters

Step 1:
For every account offered on the RMT site, manually query database of characters that fit description (level, race, class, items). Should be relatively few characters that match exactly.

Step 2:
Of the few characters in the query, see which ones are played frequently. If character isn't played often then likely suspect

Step 3:
Look at IP addresses that the character's account logs in from. If the account has a long history of logging in from a single IP then suddenly changes to another IP then likely suspect.

How hard is this guys?

They arn't being paid from us to play this game so WTF do they care. If anything it promotes the game to the outside world. You can't even find a plat seller for EQMAC but they sure do have a website just for RMT any thing in the p99 EQ world. I think most people would just come here and buy the plat for a head start.

They spend time monitoring potential 2 boxers, play(ed) babysitter to raiders, and state that RMT is against the rules, so I assume they do care.

No one but sony can make a profit from EQ, with enough people making profits from p1999 sony "could" find cause to shut down p199 or/and eqemu
This is the real reason rmt isn't allowed

if they ban accounts should they ban everyone that has bought plat or items as well?

if so there goes 30% of the population including some Tmo people.......

Whats to stop me from looking at the forums here, choose a random account and then go to a RMT site and make an identical thread? So that people think the person is RMTing it.
