RMT Again

[mdjungnitsch]

I'd like to again thank Rogean on behalf of DW for not disbanding us.

Even as an officer of DW, I had absolutely no idea we had RMT'ers in our guild. I assume they remained nameless among us after being invited through our mass recruiting efforts to populate the guild, only using our tag as cover to look "legit".

I don't want to say what we are actively going to do to right this situation as our officers and leader have not had any formal meetings, but I can assure everyone that something will be done to weed out whomever Rogean may have missed in addition to prevent such happenings in the future.

Lets keep things civil, ladies and gents.

Best,
Kaewin

I'd be curious to hear how many of the 440 accounts banned get overturned.

It's sounding like several people who sold MQs (and on the GMs side they just see MQSeller A accepts 80k from Player B who trades them nothing in return for this transaction). Then they were able to trace that platinum back to an RMTer. And bam, Banhammer. It's an understandable banning, it's just gonna make some people hesitant to MQ epics especially to these level 20 monks and clerics who have no higher main but 100k+ to throw around.

Which IMO is a good thing. I've had to turn down people for PLs when they were interested in buying 60ks worth when their "main" was the level 10 enchanter I was going to PL... Makes people think a bit more about double checking that the people who are paying you huge sums of plat for a service (which shows on Devs side as them giving you plat for nothing in exchange) are really players who have high level mains and are just looking to skip some annoying quest or slow levels on an alt.

PS - Thanks for the repop. We were on a severe drought of real competition. We got to see who lol trained themselves, who didn't mobilize, and who did. Was some good fun.
PSS - Thanks for Respawn day returning to the weekend somewhat. Having most respawns occurring between 6AM-6PM EST on Tuesday/Wednesday makes me sad.

Prominent members of the erudite community reportedly banned, suspected racial profiling. Expect a call from the reverend Al Sharpton Rogean

^Awesome


Also, great work Rogean and co. Tracking down the paper trail on all these can't be easy or fun work.

I would think GM's are much more capable at policing RMT than a low level guild leader. If you start telling guild leaders they have to screen possible RMT people, won't that make it harder for legit twinks to find lower leveling guilds? Knee jerk reactions are typically not as helpful as well thought out responses. Guild likes Dark Winter make life a lot more enjoyable for those new players (heh, good place for a joke about RMT there eh?) who are clueless and gearless and need help. I would hate to see that institute take a beating for some folks that take advantage of the system.

My toons will stay with Dark Winter. I didn't join it to RMT, so thanks for weeding those cats out.

Btw, what *IS* a whistle in this context?

[Lyrith]

So "Dark Winter" is clean now... They should be re-made as "Bright Summer"

Seriously though Nim, no need to defend your guild non-stop. Play and enjoy the game... It only makes sense that the most newbie friendly guild would have tons of RMT. I've only heard great things about your guild and the people in it. You cannot help if these new people coming to the server are buying shit from a website to get that "Head Start".

Keep up the good work with Dark Winter and, SHAME AND BLAME the bad ones. Do that and you will be around for a long time!

NO to shaming. Not going to happen.

Innocents can also be flagged. These can be resolved through petitions. But if they were shamed, no amount of petitions can fix that.

=(

But we like to shame and blame...

Agreed, but no different then the RNF section spreading TMO/IB names already. Obviously it wasn't meant for this thread.
