Has anyone seen groups of these?
Possibly driven by "platinum selling" companies, these would be a group characters, going around killing /con grey mobs, all of them wearing their IoR armor and weapons.
Or maybe they arrive at a camped area, and agro a mob onto the first group, then scoop up the special spawn.
A person can 6-box a group, run around killing easy mobs, putting the fangs, pelts, and saliva in their backpacks to sell to the merchant.
Multiple operators could generate quiet a sum of cash per day. Then the desperate folks that MUST HAVE cash right now use PayPal to buy virtual cash with real money.
I also took a trip to eBay, seems there are many auctions for gold at various prices. I noticed the location of many of the sellers: China.
Are these operations legal? I don't know, but it seems so, since there are so many of them and there are no warnings (that I know of) from SOE.
Does SOE have any leverage in taking action against these groups? Don't know that either, but I certainly hope so. Maybe we can report them as we would an inappropriate name.
I guess everyone is entitled to make a buck, even if it means exploiting the system.
Thoughts?
