Why don'y you just deal the final blow to RMT?

and just do what every other EMU server does to curb it, by creating your own donation/credit market for items; I'm willing to bet people would donate $50 for some Trak BP's or some shit like that.

Before people go "oh no it ruins economy and population" those WoW servers that do that have 5x P99's population and use that same method; it seems like a win//win/win, people that want to pay to win get to do that, the server gets an influx of donations, and third-party sales websites are effectively shutdown because they can't compete against the server itself.

While what you say would eliminate time spent on rmt operations and may increase the population 3x, it cheapens the entire eq game experience by much more than that

Why the delusion?

How many people on red and blue actually play for the "experience", how many people rush to max level just to raid targets all day, every day.

Think about that for a minute, for a lot of the people here getting to the top is their experience because back in 2001 they were probably 14 years old and couldn't get a toon past 35 until PoP

Probably 20% or so.

I see the point you're making here, and I agree with it. I still don't think a P99 version of the Station Exchange is a good idea. I think the idea of P99 is not to foster the max-level-raid-lawyering, but to appeal to players who are interested in a classic experience.

My guess is that once people have put in the time to experience the classic game, they're not left with a lot else to do but raid and bicker. There's not an RP community to speak of, and very few people enjoy crawling through dungeons just for the experience of doing it (and little chance of loot). There's always a camp, and it's always the camps that drop something. Runnyeye is barren of groups. So is Befallen, Kedge Keep, Sol A... This isn't a sign of a server population that is largely devoted to enjoying a classic experience.

No thanks. Pay to win would make me leave this server.
