I think I actually have the VOD recorded when bedroom group in Lower Guk completely lost it when I killed every single mob outside of bedroom because they wouldn't stop stealing exe/cav mobs.

But this will be my last response to you before you're blocked indefinitely because I just remembered who you are and how annoying you are.
Yeah so on P99 that would be actual griefing because it's against the PNP. On P99, winning an FTE race in Sro isn't griefing lol

That's the dirty secret though, I've seen the black market side of jboots too, they don't go for 5k, they go for 3k if you have the right connections.

5k is just the controlled price for the regular market. It's fine for normal market use but the people(hirem) that are perma-camping AC are selling it in backdoor channels on other websites (such as discord) for 3k.

I warned the GMs this was going on too and got told to basically bugger off. Not sure how much more corrupt it could get aside from the GMs getting money donations to "look the other way"

The real sad truth is that naelamru, aka snaccpak, was caught in the middle of all this. I'm guessing he saw the lower prices too and was offering those standards to the open market. The people that immediately started to "shut him down" wasn't because of the kill theft, but rather, because he was breaking the market up-sale.

They can't corner the market if everyone offers the same price. It's money loss to them.

funny enough, I saw the camp recently a few days ago... there were like 7 corpses on the beach, pretty sure I saw like 3 or 4 of snaccpak's alts [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
