I came, I saw, I RMT'd, I got banned, I tried a brief comeback, Had a great time :)

So first off...

Point blank. I RMT'D, got caught, and banned in the last wave.

I honestly didn't understand how serious that rule was, but when I went to do the RMT transaction, it was perfectly clear to me the community considered it a dangerous act.

I went back, read the rules clearly, shrugged it off, and did it anyways...(not that I am a super renegade, lol, I just honestly didn't think it would end up like this). I didn't even try to be creative or hide it. I didn't buy 1 item and just sell it, or pay real $ for a PL (like EVERYONE has switched too now). I just bought plat (and paid for a PL with it).

I am NOT mad at all at the Dev's, they made it clear. I don't even care about the money I lost. The couple weeks I played with some nice gear was worth it. The only real defense I will offer is I am a father of 4, with a full time job. I make an extremely comfortable living... and when it comes to gaming now a days, I have far more money than time. That's it. No Harm, no foul.

For my part, when I read that the real issue was "The server can be shut down" if it makes money... then I realized.. for that reason alone - it's not cool what I did.. and I certainly didn't want to spoil other people's fun. So in that regard, I am thankful I got banned.

Anyways - the community here is absolutely FANTASTIC.

Tons and Tons of nice people here!

If I don't uninstall now I will eventually buy a PL (been fighting that feeling off for a week or so now) and for that reason alone I am censoring myself and moving on.

But I wanted to Thank the Devs / team for doing something like this. For a brief moment I got to relive some part of yesterday...

Blessings to you all.
