Basically yes. Everyone complains how RMT ruins camps,economy, and creates an unfair advantage. These camps will be taken whether the PP is sold for real cash or not. Reality is the majority of the kids kicking and screaming are the ones that can only get ahead in a game tilted into their own favor. EQ classic is not a skill based game, more time=more success. Every unemployed Tom, crippled Dick, and disabled Harry will be the real "winner" in EQ, time is in their favor. For others that have obligations and priorities over an EMU server, one way to catch up when starting out without feeling completely left behind in a Norrath dominated by twinks and alts, is to spend a couple hours of pay. This scares the crap out of people that stare at their toon for 12 hours a day because it means people that earn a living and have lives can actually compete with them. I digress. You can conjure up hundreds of reasons why RMT is da devil, fact of the matter is it't wrong for only one reason. Because its in the rules.

That's very sound logic, but I too am a desk jockey with just a few hours of game time a week and I still wouldn't turn to RMT or condone those who do so. The primary reason is that it's against the rules you agreed to abide by when using this free service that is P99. If there is any gray area within these rules, it's for the staff to decide, not the players, and certainly not the person breaking the rules. As an aside, if being competitive in a 15 year old MMO bothers you so much that you find yourself breaking these rules and spending RL cash, maybe it's time to find a more casual MMO, or at least a more casual EQEMU server. There's quite a few out there now.
