The crazy part about this sting mission that they were doing is.... You just didnt help the RMT'ers, you now lost a lot of good people on your server.......I was thinking about it this morning, now prices of pp can fluctuate, people who are new and incoming to the server will just pay a larger unit price for platinum, your not going to stop those who are willing to pay to benefit themselves.. I mean now 1.50 for one k will go up to 2.50, lol RMT'ers or future RMT'ers are pattying you guys on the back now they will even bank more money at the end of the day..... Thanks guys well put

You can remove supply, demand, or both. Supply goes down and price goes up. Demand goes down and price goes down. In this case they did both and I hope they to it again and again. If the staff does perhaps the business case for return on investment will not make it worth it. Perhaps losing the time and real money for buying will no longer be worth the consequences.

I do not judge the buyers. The allure has touched me as well. I haven't due to the thought of consequence. Said consequence has been made real.

Mission accomplished...

Keep at it.

They also have an example of what could happen to them shortly after they do it. I'm glad they punished the RMTers but they should have given the death penalty to the macroquest/showeq crowd too. 3rd party progs are worse then RMT imo.

Goodnight, daddy.

Good players don't need to RMT, they actually play the game. How is hitting up the same, high valued items a sign that someone is a good player? Once you figure out a camp and tackle it with as few possible, you've accomplished something but nothing that someone else can't accomplish. These people aren't special, they're greedy and it makes them feel good to deny someone else and get more stuff. What they're doing is monopolizing that specific content, that's it. (Epic MQing...don't get me started) Sometimes I'm sure such camps are even empty because people simply want to play the game instead of just fill their coffers. (I know it's crazy right?) If they've accomplished anything it's just getting there first, over and over and abusing the 'passing off a camp' rules by gifting a camp to their buds who may not even be in the zone...rinse, repeat. (BTW, the server does not allow this, if you are confronted with it, Petition, if you choose to wait for a camp by being there, someone who is selling in EC is not going to be in front of you as stated by Uthgard on these forums)

My main toon used to be in raiding guilds and he has a pretty decent assortment of raid gear. When I found stuff I know a friend could use or really enjoy, I gave it to them. I didn't roll on it to sell it off. So many people I know need gear and it brings me joy to give them stuff I was lucky to find. I can appreciate that acquiring plat is what some people enjoy doing but such things tend to bore me, like raiding the same stuff for to long. All the raiding *we are awesome* talk *cough* TMO *cough* is well deserved. No other guild could possibly have more people without real lives than those guys and gals. Most of these people do not need to RMT. They are willing to chain batphones around their necks, get up at the crack of dawn to down a mob they've only done, what, 200 times? Wow, real exciting guys! (not really!)

The recent sting did hurt those who deserved to be hurt, at least to some degree. Not good players, not in any real sense of this server.

Met a toxic as fuck level 20ish cleric with MQ'd epic in Kurn's a couple of months back. Pulled trains onto people, pissed most of the zone off...and if anything was said in ooc to him, "welcome to ignore, Soandso".

Hope he was one of the 400 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I would think P99 makes Sony money, in the form of an advertisement for Live EQ.

This is without a doubt the reason Sony lets the server keep going. About 1/3 of the people I know IRL or from back on live who play p99 have relapsed into real EQ addiction and gone and played live for a significant period of time. No doubt Sony considers this like a gateway EQ that will spark peoples' old addiction and make them curious about, "oh I wonder what it would be like to play my old character" and such.

I thought P99's adverts for Live read: "It sucks."

I saw a sub level 35 cleric in HHK with a manastone and epic who had to ask me for directions to WC... I'm thinking... Just maybe... Good bye?
