now stop spamming our forums with your crap, and wait for Rogean to respond to your petition thread. but having just reviewed the logs surrounding your account ban, i wouldnt get your hopes up.

You need to set more realistic expectations for people who join p1999 - have extra accounts or trade too often and you will most likely be scooped into a ban wave.
I can only imagine your frustration, but that is just simply not true. I've spent most of my total P99 playtime in EC and have not been lumped in with RMT bans. There was undoubtedly one unfortunate incident you were involved in that was suspicious for one reason or another. Frequent trading or even transferring items does not automatically flag you as an RMTer. Of course the transfers could be dangerous I suppose if they were high value items, but who asks random strangers to help them transer a fungi or 100kpp?

Still waiting on my petition to be resolved. It's been viewed 12 times, no replies from any GMs... very irritating, I've done nothing wrong. What's the hold up on a response? Even just a quick "we're investigating" would be nice, then I'd at least know that SOMETHING is happening...

Do your job GMs!! You started this project, people donate funds to keep it rocking, and you did the massive ban wave... it's now time to exercise adequate customer service skills for your customers. You need to set more realistic expectations for people who join p1999 - have extra accounts or trade too often and you will most likely be scooped into a ban wave. Then you will wait weeks before you find out if your request is even being processed.

/endrant
I have 18 accounts and none have been banned other then 1 that i got while account trading was legal and the previous owner was a RMTer. Luckily i had gone through Bob and had logs and was cleared. Also Bongs has had more then 6 or 8k transactions or something like that last time i was told and i've never been banned on the account. So no if you do tons of trades or have a lot of accounts you wont automatically get caught up in it. In your case you just RMT'd and decided to come here and whine for whatever reason.

So is it basically safe to transfer items/plat for random people who ask as long as the total value is not too high? Sometimes posts on here make me scared to do transfers for people, but at the same time I like to be able to help. After this last RMT ban wave, I pretended to be afk when someone asked me and I felt bad.

I've done transfers for tons of people through the years but these days its becoming increasingly obvious how bad an idea that may be.

If you didnt do anything wrong and you have logs on then there is no worries except for maybe some days off while everything gets settled and figured out.

I've transferred expensive shit for random strangers including a fungi tunic and 10s of thousands of pp, presumably these people saw the BDA guildtag on my mule and figured they were safe, without ever getting caught up in an RMT ban wave. Just lucky not to have been used by any RMTers I guess. Staff does seem to be very quick to clear accounts with only a single suspect transaction when the player is polite and can provide the info necessary to clear them (i.e. name of char who received the MQ and logs of the conversations and MQ with timestamps.) Always have your log running and don't be an ass to the staff seem to be the keys.

Yeah I just did a big red-blue plat transfer for myself and randomly xfered a AON for some random paladin in EC on blue. Not banned. Sounds like the staff got it handled.
