Just a reminder for new and old players regarding Real Money Transactions (RMT)

[Ravager]

Could probably put a dent in RMT by nerfing multi-questing and AE exp. They're probably making more money per hour selling Chardok pulls for five bucks a pop than they are selling toons and gear.

Really shit can way to handle the situation. People put a lot of time into video games, and to be banned because of some stupid script would really suck. Especially if it took weeks to reverse.
I'll never play EQ enough to attain this amount of plat so it would never effect me either way, but I could see it being highly annoying to those who are legit and get banned over laziness, which is what a ban wave script is tbh.
You guys have the logs, go through and ban each one at a time.

How so? Either because you don't want to level the classic way or you don't want to get your epic the classic way.

Is that why we're here? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Top 3 reasons people RMT.

1) Epic MQ payment (many epics are now held for ransom)
2) PLing service payment
3) Chardok AOE payment

Remove those three things from the game, and you'll greatly reduce the perceived need to RMT.

Until then, admin really isn't serious about the matter imo.

This has been stated for years. However you may note that the individuals who permacamp all the Epic MQ pieces as well as the individuals who permacamp Chardok w AOE groups are PERSONAL FRIENDS with Sirken.

Is it not odd that the GMs can track down simple RMTs involving as little a 3,000 platinum pieces being bought, yet somehow they're unable to finger the individuals who are shoveling MILLIONS OF PLATINUM PIECES to the RMT sellers?

Hmmmmmmmm

I regularly turn down gifts and click off high level buffs. Some of us like the struggle that starting naked and poor provides.

I play naked all the way also my char is naked.

Clerics can bitch all they want. Click of buffs too because I like to struggle.

IMO I'm the best MT ever - aiming to tank AoW in Velious naked and buffless wielding a feather in main hand and a fluffy pillow in offhand.
