Yeah, original EQ had RMT. Unless they start physically creating items to sell I don't see the problem. I quit WoW because they were making so many in game items that I couldn't get without paying for them. From what I understand, you can trade kronos for in game items that have dropped but they aren't physically summoning you Vulak loot because you gave them twenty bucks.

You are correct. You don't open a shop window and buy a Vulak robe. Krono is essentially an ingame item that you can right click to add 30 days to your sub. It has an ingame value just like any other item and is bought/traded/sold just like a fungi tunic or whatever else. That's the only thing u can spend RL $ on. That and cosmetic bullshit in the store that changes your pet appearance and other crap.

Another thing to remember you can only buy droppables. Anyone that knows EQ knows all the best shit is no drop anyway and that's even more true the more expansions that come out.

That's not true. I can sure as hell say I'll give you 5 kronos if you let me loot a vindi BP.

Me too I hate having options

Are you guys aware that RMT was rampant in classic on live? Esp before ebay started cracking down? Which wasn't til like late Velious? Are you aware that RMT has been rampant on every EQ server that's ever existed since day one? Do you know that it happens daily on P99?

Seems like none of are aware of any of this. Sorry to be the one to break the bad news.

Fun fact: We're less than 100 posts away from beating Swish's dumb gif thread and becoming biggest thread on RNF

Yea... I was speaking in regards to myself as a youngin'.

The kronos idea works to deprive third-party entities from making money off the creators IP. I am all for that(if i made it).

Also, the idea of Time vs Money, adding on the familiarity of the matter involved.

Just depends on what you want out of your experience.
