Giving Away 3 Toons Worth of Gear After Ban

Maybe something like limiting it to L1 characters and only in EC, Freeport, Nek, and Neriak. It would get way more people involved in EC trading, increase the availability of gear, and just improve the community overall imo. I'm not going to devote hours to trying to sell a bunch of sub 1k items, but I would if I could do it during downtime in groups or while LFG. I think we'd see a much more healthy and robust economy if players who normally log on to actually play the game could also get involved in the tunnel as opposed to letting tunnel rats control the EC economy.

you can't sell those sub 1k items because people have farmed them for half a decade and there is no demand

putting more merchants in EC isn't going to solve that, because guess what, it will just be more fish and shark

You can sell anything if you're willing to sell below market value, which I am, I'm just not willing to devote hours of my time trying to do it. People are always making alts and you'd be surprised how deep the P99 market goes. People will buy all sorts of garbage items just to fill an empty slot if the price is right.

I absolutely think adding more people will make the market better. EC traders focus on big ticket items, or high demand cheap items that they can turn for a quick profit. That is great for players like me who haven't had to farm plat/gear in years, but the availability of cheap/mid grade gear for new players is abysmal. If even 1/2 of the people who only really log on to raid or group with friends could auction the junk they have laying around at the same time, you'd see a lot more stuff at a lot cheaper prices imo. Some are motivated enough to make threads in the EC forum, but I'd guess a lot are like me and just don't bother.

Either way, 2boxing a trader doesn't really conflict with the objective of the 2boxing rule, and even if it didn't help the economy, it couldn't hurt.

As I understand it, the no 2boxing rule was originally intended to develop the community, and in that respect I think it is a great rule and has made the server better. However, to most people sitting the the tunnel trading is not really playing, and 2 boxing a trader would for the most part benefit the community, so it seems like an obvious place to make an exception. More people trading, more items available, more accurate prices, it just seems like a net positive with very little (if any) downside.

This guy knows whats up and thank you for that. I'm all for the enforcement of the rules and I applaud the GMs for throwing bans out. On me even though I feel I was totally unworthy of a 30 day fcking ban I still agree for the most part with what they did.

However, with the option not to be able to turn your character into an NPC and go /auction mode what you're saying is such a good idea. Easier access for players to buy their gear and not wait 10 days to find that said person selling your items on p99auctions.com and then hoping they log back into that toon some time in the next year. auctioning in EQ is horrendous and i remember how happy people were when they implemented that patch years ago to allow you to /auctionmode or whatever.

My bad if it was, no harm intended!

"I wasn't trying to fuck him over man"
the fuck? that was your sole purpose.. to fuck him over. You're like the dude sitting on the side of the road calling in peoples cars who stay over the parking timer limit. ffs thats bad. And no that wasn't me. I was doing the polar opposite of this in terms of dual boxing. I got on two boxes to xfer items. Xping like that is unfair and should be banned. Except I got the same ban as this guy did JUST for xferring items.

Anyone who agrees with this ban just hasn't had it happen to them yet. Every person who has an IP exemption, does what I did and xfers items. I don't feel bad for this guy tho.. again I hear you "I was just on here trying to have fun not to fuck him over" dude you were there like the guy who wishes he was a cop but didn't make the squad ughhhh. This shit is sooo gay.

90% of Dial a Port people dual box on their porters and get plat all on their second box. Ban them all?
