So funny.

There are people STILL willing to bid accounts on RedGuides.com even AFTER the SWEEP of bans.

Here it comes Rogean. No sleep for the restless! You cannot win the fight against the crowd!

And while you may flex your muscles and no matter how hard. This crowd will push and push till you can no longer or shut this server down!

You cannot stop it. SONY could not stop it.

That may be one perspective. But calling the bluff is certainly another.

Sony couldn't beat it
Blizzard couldn't beat it

Rogean can?

the fact that 400 accounts just got banned. you can't expect to stop it, you can certainly deter it with no tolerance.

also, your time spent here is irrational as are your arguments that are peppered with fallacies. you are mad that you lost an income stream, and you took to the forum to make yourself feel better by trying to convince others of your viewpoints. your viewpoints are in the infinitesimal minority here. sorry you lost an income stream. and sorry to the people that bought from you cause you still have their money, but they have nothing to show for it.

I'm not trying to convince. It's only stating a perspective. Everyone on this forum has a right to discuss that with others on this forum as long as the discussion is within the constraints provided as per the rules of the forum. While you may not have the same perspective as I do, thats ok too. One thing I've learned is that it is a fallacy to believe there is no fallacy.

I never stated I lost an income stream. So I don't know where you got that. What I think you haven't gotten which I have actually HAVE provided with previous statements is that deterring RMT is unlikely to STOP RMT. Even more so in this case.

Again, I'll repeat this so that short-term memory does not fail you again. Is that it is a viewpoint. It is your RIGHT to agree and disagree but certainly not your obligation.

I am only stating that bigger players (Sony/Blizzard) have encountered this RMT issue before in order to maintain game play integrity and have been trampled by the stampeding RMT crowd. The only options in this case are:

1. Continue spending resources fighting it until your resources have exhausted

2. Bring the EMU project to a halt. Cut your losses and walk away.

3. Build a system within the EMU that CO-OPTS the RMT activity

Another note: The mere fact that the player base hasnt actually been cut down drastically as I see how many have been on lately is only a worrying sign that the people banned have more than likely reinserted themselves back into the program only to commit the offense again. This not only evidenced by the people still hungry to buy accounts on Redguides.com and other RMT sites and also the server numbers remaining robust. This, to be netted across the net inflows of new players. Rest assured that the returning "banned" players have learned their lesson and will be looking for even keener ways of exploiting the policing.

Its like trading in the financial markets. There are algorithmic programmed software machines that identify patterns in prices and exploit them, but at the same time these algorithms are also being identified and THEIR patterns will be exploited by real-life traders.

im assuming you lost out because you have never contributed to discourse on the forum. all your forum history is selling very high valued items. suddenly, after a wave of RMT bans, you feel the need to be heard? i call bullshit on that statement.

you are the equivalent of the bum on the corner preaching doom and gloom repent jesus is coming because you figured it out with math. you say it has to come to A or B and while, in this case, both are plausible..they are not the only possible outcomes. the problem with your conclusions is that your evidence and logic is flawed.


you are asserting that the staff's efforts are futile. i think you are dead wrong. im sure they dont expect to stop RMT.. but i bet someone will think twice before clicking send on paypal. kudos to the staff for not standing around and doing nothing. to you.. im not quite sure what else to say because i don't even know what you are trying to accomplish here.
