up until recently, market was around 80-90% of my total weekly gold and l’m sure majority of that came from rmt whales. people just spend too much time on the forums crying about boo hoo market is doomed and its impossible to buy anything!! without doing as much as their time gated content for the week. plus, bots outnumber degenerates like me probably 100:1 and casuals a similar number so while 99.5% is an exaggeration, its probably not far from the truth
l mean just look at how fragile peoples’ egos are. every big name is “f2p btw” “market flipper btw” when in the comfort of their private discords, a lot of them rmt, whale, and bot infinite chaos even to this day
I’ve highlighted the important bit from your post.
It’s very far from 99.5% but there’s no changing any of you supporters of the streamer who cheated minds. If I was AGS I’d be looking into all these people who’s supporting this cheater, since so many of you love to justify taking 500k because; “hurp a durp I can’t possibly know if it’s RMT and I believe the onus to be on AGS to get rid of the money before it ends up in my hands, I have zero responsibilty to avoid RMT”.
You can legally own, buy, and sell a car everywhere.
If you go on the dark web and buy a Mercedes for 20 dollars and then the cop comes to arrest you for possessing a stolen vehicle, you don’t get to say “but I didn’t know”. You knew. Just like you knew that a 900g selling price for a leapstone is stupid as hell.
You can mental gymnastics it all you want.
You just suddenly want to defend it because now you want some special “I didn’t know” exception because you’re going to get banned by your own rule.
What you say makes 0 sense whatsoever in terms of gold. Just like in Real life counterfeit money is in circulation. If you buy something for 10 bucks and they find out that you used counterfeit money most likely nothing will happen to you, because there is no way of telling if you acutally had malicious intent. If you suddenly buy a Tesla in cash and all of that cash is counterfeit money, yeah you’re obv. done for.
Same with Lost Ark. Nobody gives a shit if you buy a leapstone with RMT gold if its only 20g. Especially the seller should not suffer under this since they cannot even check who buys it. If you suddenly get 500k gold from some rando for a bus ofc they are going to investigate this since its such a high amount with acutal impact on the econmy as a single person.
l’m not a fan of alan or his group but l’m not going to deny that RMTs make life easier as a f2p player so as long as someone out there is doing it, l’m benefitting
but my point is not all gold came from bots. there was a time where clearly alot of it did but the guy in the picture said 99.5% for NOW which is wrong.
ive bought everything ive gotten in game with gold i earned from raids. and there are alot of people who have done the same thing.
again the guy in the picture was talking about buying a cheap item with illegal gold not buying a big item for a cheap price theres a very big difference. its more like counterfeit money more then any thing.
theres no mental gymnastic’s on my end so you might want to have a 2nd look at yourself lol
