I just think a major reseller uses/contracts/leverages the same scripters that got/get whacked. To me, that doesnt make folks like this exempt, and actually part of the problem. I had read before in an article that major brokers have deals worked out with others to supply a stream of resources/gold at big breaks to keep both business moving along. Likewise, its also a good money laundering vehicle or fencing operation (I had cited it here before but seems lost in the serverwipe we had). I am not saying this guy is doing it, its a mechanic.
Now that said, its not the same as the burning houses that draconi lit last nite (directly). Folks that buy from scripters tho(items/resources/accounts) are in the cycle, and are culpable to a degree albiet less directly, and isnt it against TOS to buy UO items for $$? Therefore, illegal (ammended/added a couple years ago for Ebay etc). You cannot even sell your account the way you described as it is illegal now (not when you did it).
And this gent goes way beyond UO, and I dont really think its a far stretch to think it stretches into the dark side of the game. (yes my conspiricy, not for general consumption)
This video just resurfaced in light of the current events, and saw it for the first time today. To me, its his honesty regarding the fact he is embarrassed to what he has become and wants out for his kids. Thats really what I got out of it.
I definately didnt get a "way to go dude" feeling.
Just call me spooky mulder
