If you think about it for say, 4 seconds, it becomes obvious why they allow it. They provide an outlet of sorts for the types of players who would otherwise try to sell for real money and get it all shut down.

Insofar as I am concerned I have no problem with an excuse of "Bored with this char, lets try another" but when it's all about e-peen (plat in bank) I think you're a fool. Nobody will ever really give a shit about your bank in EQ in RL.

On the other hand.. If your goal/joy in EQ is to have a bank acct of x plat and then you declare victory, you go man, you go..

I could see if real money was allowed because that's the kind of bullshit sony sells, but that's not even the case here
well, I said why I care. I saw it on live and it ruins the game imo. This is classic, why dont you go to live if you wanna trade characters all the time? Why even bother playing the game if you get bored? Its just an easy way and I hate easy way. Get bored, buy new account? Thats BS for WOW consumers.

Just my opinion.

P.S. I remember this uber Warrior from Zek who changed owner like 10times. You never knew who was actually playing him. He was like a cheap ho' with no integrity.

Selling/buying toons is for pussies.

If you can farm enough plat to buy an account, you will know how to play it.

It doesn't compare to live where people would us actual cash to buy the accounts. It's a small server. I rather someone trade an account and stick around than get bored and quit.

I'm glad you added that in there. Now can you guess my next question?

In the time it takes people to farm enough cash to buy a well geared level 50 I can level up a well geared level 50 and have money in the bank for it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] And I have the added benefit of understanding the class.

What amazes me is people don't have anything else to worry about in their lives other than people trading accounts in an everquest emu? I am fully aware that this is some people's life, but come on. I seriously doubt with a population size here that it's going to make a significant difference whether some dude trades an account or not, especially in high end raiding. People try out for guilds, know if you're terrible or not, and then it's up to them whether you stay or not. It's not as big of a deal as people are making it out to be, and you would just be creating more work for the GMs if they were to police every single person trading/selling accounts when there is no reason to.

Just to clarify, these account transaction do not involve REAL MONEY, for anyone new and posting on this thread. Obviously, RMT transactions go on in almost every online video game. However the character trades permitted here are bought/sold for in game currency.

My only problem with the whole issue is that from Guild Recruiter standpoint I just need to dig into applications a bit to determine the source of the toon.

Ya'll let me in so you obviously aren't very good at screening applicants [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

It's also pretty obvious if someone doesn't know how to play their class and they tend to not get invites to groups/good guilds/etc.

I will RMT my character for 20k...cash, no Paypal, checks, or money orders accepted. 20k in US Dollars, cash. This amazing deal expires at midnight tonight [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. I'll give 5k to the devs and they'll let this one slide haha.

If you honestly think that RMT doesn't go on, you need to get out of under that rock.
