I don't think it's a matter of hate. It's more an irritation than anything else. For most of us it's just a pass-time to identify them and grumble about it. You can't spend all your time playing FFXI^^.

As to why some people really hate RMT'ers, let me give an example... true story.

Camping King Arthro with my LS. Everblack and 4 others that some people call "gilsellers" are the only competition. We outnumber them 2:1, which is the most important factor in claiming (fuck skill, it's mostly luck and numbers). When the Knight crabs spawn, a sign that KA is next, the gilsellers stall the last one. Right after they kill it, Everblack comes into the spawn site with a huge train of non-aggroing mobs (snipper and sheep)...

If you don't know it, there are no mobs in that area to train. Zero. Nada. The only way to do it is to teleport hack across the lake, gather up a bunch of them, then teleport back. The mobs can follow you anywhere as long as you don't zone. So that's cheat/hack #1.

Next, all the mobs are purple (claimed) by this one guy. We can't touch them to get rid of any stray targets. Hack #2.

When KA does pop, we are trying to tab through about 10 new targets, but they voke and claim instantly. You can do this by removing .dat files so you cannot target the files (mobs) removed. Hack #3.

About 9 GM calls are made, complete with screen shots for evidence. People wait for hours to get a chance to report these pieces of shit. No one is ever contacted by a GM.

This is the problem with RMT. Real money means real incentive to cheat. Everyone promises to play by the rules every time they log on. These people are lying everytime they click "agree" just because they sell gil for dollars. It's not that hard to see that they would cheat in other ways as well. RMT=hacks/cheating 100% of the time. I've never seen it otherwise.

Basically, these RMT'ers are saying, "You want to play the game that you pay money to enjoy? Fuck you, give me real-life dollars or fuck off." Hacks/cheating is the "big stick" that goes along with the threat. It doesn't assure the gilsellers of victory, but it swings the odds in their favor. For those of us that refuse to give in and buy gil, it adds hours each week and days each month, of frustration as our limited playtime is made less enjoyable by people actively trying to force us to pay them in order to play a game we already pay for.

Now, I don't know you Paddinton, but I've got no problems with you. Lots of people disagree with me, I know it doesn't make them bad people... it just make them wrong^^. But you should understand a person's point of view even if you end up disagreeing with them. I hope I made things clear to you about the opposing opinion.
 
Osse....I agree with everything you've just said. I saw a couple of people do that teleport thing right in front of me a week ago....one second they were at Bune and *POP* they were at Capricous Cassie....it was Lamatilecat and Kriesmann, all ForgottenShadows members btw.

I agree RMT'ers have a massive incentive to hack and cheat and every other dirty thing they can to get that claim. The GM's total lack of action isn't surprising at all...they don't respond to about 50% of all the calls now and when they do it's tell you they will "look into it" (ie "Don't call us and we won't call you!").

My point is that complaining and grumbling are all well and good but it's been going beyond that....MPK'ing, racial slurs, threats and open hatered leading to consequence beyond the game even. This is a great game, can't wait for the expansion, and I don't want to see it ruined this way. The economy and the whole RMT'er thing will always be with us I guess. But like you said it's all our own POV and to me Breezer has always been alright...just like some people think Vang is alright...heh...go figure.
 
breezer is fishin in cape terrigan if you wanna mpk. fishing devil mantas
