I prefer playing a P2P MMO that does not ruin their economy by having sanctioned RT trading. I have not had a game I was this interested in in years. And I love the fact that it is P2P because I believe this creates the best conditions for developing a true AAA MMO.
There are hundreds of F2P MMO's around, are these not enough? Online gaming is a luxury good, I dont see the logic in all of them being F2P clones. There is a market for different types of games, pay models, etc.
Eve does this and has one of the best economy systems in an mmo.
In fact the games that don't do it and rely instead on loot drops being the "best" equipment usually have terrible economies compared to how it all works.
You can't really compare, shit gets blown up in Eve and/or stolen. It creates a big risk and reward factor. The plex alone or whatever it's called isn't responsible for the economy. In fact, if I decided to go buy $1,000,000 worth of plex and hand it out to everyone I guess that might make them worthless.

You have to delete your account when you are trying to scam free stuff out of ppl on online forums - the poor guy has to cover his tracks. I'm sure he will be back with a new account, gathering more free stuff, in the near future. /thread lock
SOE changes name to Daybreak games, cause dey break games.
I have a problem with the idea here. Why is one person "entitled" to have something for free while others are not? While I can totally feel for the truly afflicted, I can not have sympathy for anyone that use said affliction for personal gain. If I give someone money because it is truly needed, I am doing so NOT because they have come to me and said they "deserve" it. And I do not ever buy into the idea that people only must be "low income". If they have the guts to come in here (or anywhere) and beg for handouts, then they have the guts it takes to better their income.
By the way, I have given people free games before but never because they begged me. I did so out of kindness and because of their own high regard for their own pride. Those of you that think you deserve something because you just don't have the income or because you are afflicted in some way but don't have enough self pride NOT to beg can just forget about any sympathy from me.
