REMINDER: RL Monetary Trades in-game are a bannable offense

[Vlada]

You know what.......forget I said anything fellas. I was wrong SWGEmu is the place where a working man new to SWG can start cold turkey and in three weeks be outdamaging the campers with legendary weapons at the Acklay. He can do anything at all with his Cdef because BASILISK!!! ANd in the name of all that is decent and holy, Vlada is the Shakespeare of our time and NEVER EVER could phrase something better!

No one said that ever. We all stated that if you put in enough time and effort, for some 3 weeks (but i doubt it) for others 3 , or 9 months or 10 years (just for the sake of argument) they will be able to compete with those camping the high end mobs. Its all about how much time and effort someone puts in to playing. If that "working man" you mention doesn't have time, or just doesn't want to play the game then they wont be able to do it and guess what they don't deserve to do it, because even in a game things need to be earned not handed to you.

So if you're making a conscious choice or just don't have the luxury to pick game over real life, then no, you will not be able to compete with those with uber gear any time soon. So please stop regurgitating the idea that because you are busy working in real life and providing for your family (which is admirable) you deserve the same gear and to farm the same mobs as those that spend more time in game then you do at work, because you just don't. Sorry, playing the real life doesn't give you in game XP, it dont work that way. Never has, never will.

Is nobody actually reading what I am typing? Vlada remarked "everything in game is free and available to anyone willing to put in time and some effort to obtain it by just playing". I disagreed with that statement. I do not think that statement, given the reality of this server, is accurate. Period.....nothing more, nothing less.

It seems that you do not like the answer that you are being given, so you keep asking the same question hoping to get an answer that you like! I see this all the time in students trying to understand a complicated math or physics problem. They ask a question, and are given an answer but when they do not understand the answer they get frustrated and re-ask the same question in a different way hoping to get an answer that they can understand!

Not at all sir.

I have admitted defeat.

Don't expect them to read, understand, or care. High horse hostility is how many folks roll around here. It's always been that way. Don't waste your time.

Nice.... And the cost for ADKs prob just wnet up since they took a bunch of adks with them.

I must admit, the individual arguing against Vlada has a valid point. If someone wishes to trade fake in-game currency for real life money, that should be a choice made amongst the individual consenting parties. The credits are acquired, and distributed regaurdless. If Joey McMoneyBags has the means to purchase in-game currency, that will be wiped eventually, it should be his choice to do so.

no, its logical for the owner of the server to make any rules they wish. if in game items for RL money is against their policy, then so be it. (ie, their server, their rules) Its up to us to follow them, or not play.

no one is forcing people to be here.

[Davickk]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I stated mine, you stated yours. Obviously it's against policy, and being enforced which is great. Rules are rules.

[shilo]

SWGEmu is emulating a game for which they do not own the rights to. As such, all of the legal "i's and T's" have been dotted and crossed. One stipulation of this arrangement is that the SWGEmu nor anyone involved is making monetary gains from a trademarked franchise. Thus the ULA reflects this, and everyone who has logged into Basilisk has agreed to.

[Miztah]

People can believe they have the right to purchase in-game credits and items with real life currency all they want, we have the right to ban them for doing so as we're providing the service. If paying real money to buy credits in an emulated game is something you want to do, do it at your own risk knowing ahead of time that it's against our rules and we're going to do what we can to catch and ban you. Simple as that.

I dont want to trade anything, I just want someone to give me some of this real life money you all are talking about...

[franklin920]

So I cannot bitcoin someone for a slave collar?

[Toxs]

So some people really want to make this game pay to win? Remember if you play with star wars action figures you can win almost every time.

Can I trade naked pictures of my wife for in game credits?
