This obviously does nothing for power leveling.
These kind of ideas won't work for the same reason that IP bans won't work. And anyway, that kind of setup is basically telling people its OK to RMT and cheat as long as they are willing to pay off their "debt" if they get caught.

i dont really care either way about IP ban but the player himself should be permabanned. in the case of nocturne blatantly admitting he is evelinn his current accounts should all be banned as well. just because he lost 400kp with the first ban doesnt mean his sentence is finished and now its cool that he has 500kp+ that he is probably selling all over again. i also like the idea of associated guild that whos who they are being temporary suspended for like a week. RMT pisses me off and i think a lot of people agree with the sentiment.

I reiterate that my only beef with RMT is that it can cause the shutdown of the server. And honestly, the only thing I can think of to rid of that problem is to hit the RMT'ers in the pocketbook. A crazy gamble could be to let Sony's lawyers take care of business. All it would take is 5-10 lawsuits for intellectual property infringement against RMT'ers to make the rest shake in their boots.

But that would open the door for Sony to take down the server in case the operators are doing something shady, which would really, really suck. I guess doing this would really just depend on how confident Rogean and Nilbog are that their operating expenses are fully legit.

Plus, any time a lawyer gets involved unexpected crap can happen.

I dunno, I guess maybe it's a horrible idea. But outside of hiring Jay and Silent Bob to go around and nutpunch all the RMT'ers I can't think of a permanent solution.

The IRS could make them stop.

When the IRS determines someone has unreported earnings, they estimate..... and girlfriend, they estimate high.

It requires a tax attorney to resolve it. Ever hire a tax attorney? $$$$

So when we play Monopoly you have no problem with me taking a handful of 500 bills from the bank on the sly?

Cause you just like to roll the dice for 4 hours?

This is a game. Even though some people treat it differently, this is still a game.

With rules, just like all games.

If we were banning for RMT we'd have to shut this shit down. Rogean's got dirt all over, but, I suppose we all have our price.

edit: for people complaining about platinum--just duo the fungi king for a few days and you'll have enough plat to gear out your character beyond certain raid items. Shm/anythingreally, clr(bp)/warORskORmonkorEnc..., Lots of good combos, really. And it can be 3 manned with about anyone, though the items must be split a bit more.

You will never see me selling an item for above the market average generally. I think I'd have an easier time sticking my dick in Carmen Electra than getting 12k for an fbss or 90k for a fungi or whatever these retarded prices people are asking for.

If you're seriously getting pissed over RMT in a 15 year old video game, you need to have your fucking head checked. If you just play EQ to have fun in the first place, what the fuck do you care what the prices of anything are or what anyone else is wearing? Sounds to me like this has more to do with jealousy and greed than anything else.

Also, do you think I'd make it known who I was if the GM's didn't specifically say that I was allowed to roll up a new account and start over? So sorry to break it to you but I'm not getting banned as I'm not doing anything wrong so you can start going ahead and getting mad over pixels in a video game you fucking psychopath.
you are so full of shit nocturne. you were just selling fbss last night for 12k. also yeah im pissed because its RMT people like you that make it much more difficult for me to obtain upgrades in a game that i thoroughly enjoy, regardless of age of game. dont try to justify your bullshit with posts like this.

im a psychopath? sure. thats what i am... but if you really want to clear things up here, stop lying to the player base saying you werent actually RMTing and you werent actually caught RMTing because I AM THE ONE WHO GOT YOU BANNED DICKHEAD. and i have the posts to prove it, but i dont need to humor you so ill keep em. glad you got banned the first time, cant wait until you slip up again to get banned the second time. cant say it was difficult getting enough evidence to get you banned considering you are a complete moron and you give the evidence away for free. g'luck with your endeavors now that everyone knows how much of a piece of shit you are.

im done with this thread.

Example: Nocturne/Sonaa/Evelinn. He got caught red handed RMTing and he simply just made a new account and now sells Bard power-levels for 2.5k a pull. He'll be more careful to not get caught RMTing this time, and meanwhile he knows that if he does he knows he can still just do the same thing all over.
