people are making 50k + a year from kr farming on teek and all you have to do is be in a kr farming guild, at this point im not sure whats worse the people who buy kr or the people that sell it

The people that sell it. How's this even a question?

because what happens is that

kr farmers sell to a "safe" flipper who buy for say 5 dollars and flip it for 8

these flippers. are the main issue because these people essentially just act as the middle man between the supplier and the buyer.

If you didnt have these intermediaries kr farming wouldnt be worth it and its current scale

Krono farming exists because people buy krono. Just like powerleveling exists because people buy it. If there wasn't a market for it, you'd only see a minimal amount of the activity typically associated with these things. The only really degenerate aspects are monopolies, like if someone locks down an epic mob and forces payment to get past. The dudes plowing sg for cash or aeing the back of a velks pick for xp aren't really toxic unless you get stuck on the concept of it. Easy to avoid.

A lot of the hacking is quite the opposite. Many many many people who run software would gladly put it down if they thought everyone else had to also. Most guilds relying on afk automation to do open world - pretty much a requirement - would likely be happy to not have this escalation.

So for me its pretty easy. For kr and plvl I blame the buyers more. For hacking and botting etc I blame the program creators the most. I blame the hackers a LOT more for eq problems too.

If you're talking about flippers, then yeah they're both shitty. If you're talking people buying a kr for a piece of gear here or there, then they're retarded and lazy but not nearly as toxic as people turning this into a really sad career

one group of boomers living in trailer parks wasting their disability check on krono to buy plat/gear farmed by another group of boomers two trailers over, who's disability check isn't enough to support their percocet addiction.

they are both to blame but I agree the buyers are more so.

either way ending the dole kills everquest

That could have something to do with the lack of a strong server population?

must be that. It’s insane how little chat there is in general. Dead server for sure and it’s not even to the 3rd unlock. I mean the good is no botters the bad is the bazaar is empty and market is shit.

I saw 1 or 2 guys advertising 1-51 or 36-51 boosts a few weeks ago but its nowhere near the magnitude of what teek/mischief was
this server is so boring though lol

They shut down the PL spam advertising on Teek too. Theyve started ip banning the accounts that do it from using chat channels at all. One actually decent thing they did recently.
