As of right now the only thing in concrete as far as "virtual goods" and taxes is that STATES(note not IRS) are requiring you to report on your state taxes any internet purchases you make through sites like Ebay, amazon, craigslist and other websites that dont always charge sales tax on items. What this does is calculate…
-
Haha you have no idea. Im a tax preparer and i process a few corporate returns that are NA and Canadian returns and let me just tell you its a nightmare.
-
But NW is Dev'ed by Cryptic(A Cali. based company) and Published by Perfect World Entertainment(Which is the American Arm of Perfect World also based in Cali.) is it not? Honest question here not mocking/trolling lol.
-
Except when youve allready signed over all of your rights to anything that has to do with NW. If they didnt put an ownership clause in the ToC then you would have foundry authors sueing to get paid for there work.

Well if gambling laws are a concern then PWE better make sure they have a games of chance license as MANY states are cracking down on this type of thing. Because operating games of chance without that license is a severe felony. Gambling laws are what stops casino from being able to do that type of thing to people that…

At the same time a VETERAN MMO player would know that if theres a box of goodies to gamble on and it contains an Epic quality item that the chances of getting that item are small. The fact that people got them in 90% of the boxes that were opened is clearly not wai.
-
Im in no way defending the true offenders of this exploit as it truely was an exploit. Im defending the fact that im sure there were innocent parties that did not know it was not intended as is the excuse for not doing anything about nightmare box.
-
Meh the stuff with car is probably true as i dont honestly know how all that works lol. The roll back statement was probably a bit misstated. What i meant was its completely legal for a company to rollback there servers even in cases wher real money was exchanged as long as that money is refunded.
-
But my argument is that this same logic can be applied to the quest sharing(although not the "new player" part).
-
Well liek you said with the f2p model being more in the governments eye now it may be harder to just do it, but when it comes to in game mechanics not WAI and a rollback happens then none of that should matter. With your car situation companies do recalls on vehicles all the time. Toyota did a HUGE recall on there cars…
-
Also, you can simply change the words "cant be bothered to read" to "i didnt see it/notice it" and it would apply the same way to nightmare boxes.
-
Well the difference in someone taking something from them and them taking said item back is that they can refund the money spent on said item, while the person cant give anything back in return since they gave nothing for it.
-
hehe, im talking in theory. Im not saying he is one of the "lucky ones"
-
Just like claiming you knew nothing of the nightmare box exploit after you got 10-20 mounts from them shouldnt exempt you from punishment even though you didnt know about it. again flawed logic is flawed
-
So basicly what your saying is, because real money was paid to PWE in order to execute said exploit they are unable to punish players. That sounds like hush money lol.
-
its actually very valid. Monkey see monkey do. People see others getting away with exploits and in turn do it themselves the next time one pops up expecting no repurcusions.
-
This whole "how can you NOT realise its an exploit" argument is invalid. You say that about the quest sharing but not about people getting 80 mounts out of 90 boxes...how can you NOT see that that is not intended? flawed logic is flawed.
-
Also, this attitude is probably a direct effect of the nightmare boxes. They did absolutely nothing to those people, now people are just saying **** it to exploits and hitting them every chance they get.
-
Sorry but its not my problem that doing this would require actual work and investigation. Its what devs get paid for. Its called doing your job. Its acutally pretty simple to figure out. 1. Check logs from that day to see who got tons of mounts. Step 2 check preview shard for activity from that account. Step 3 check logs…
-
People are spoiled by the f2p model anymore. They look at sub games and think they are worthless because its p2p. Sorry but ill take a sub game over a f2p anyday, at least in a sub game the company has constant income and doesnt need to gouge players in a cash shop for there profit margin and can therefore spend more time…
-
Your ignoring the fact that people DID exploit the lockboxes and focusing solely on the fact that there were innocent parties as well. Well guess what, the fact that ANYONE exploited it should have been grounds enough for a whooping 40 min rollback. To the people that were innocent, lifes not fair, get over it.
-
Agree with everything except the lockbox issues, The bug was known on preview and reported on preview. There were people ready for it to make it to live. i understand that some people WERE innocent but the people that walked away from that with 100+ mounts were not. As i said before, the impact that this bug will have on…
-
Except for the fact that Cryptic did not intend on it to happen. Proof of that is the fact that the servers came down and the drop rate was fixed. They even said in an annoucement that the rate was not intended. Therefore anyone who knew of this from the preview shard was ready with 100+ keys. Dont sit there and try to…
-
Yeah i was spoiled by EQ1 as i played it pretty hardcore for about 6 years. I have never found another MMO that has held my attention that long yet. Im also a big time PvPer and the PvP in NWO is pretty much p2w which is unfortanate. This game had so much potential and still does really. I dont even play anymore but come…
-
I have the same tendacies as i am constantly looking for a MMO that is much like classic Everquest with updated graphics. I tend to find games, play for a while, leave and come back multiple times. Hell, i've even played EQ1 in the past year to see how far its come and its nothing like it used to be =((. People that spend…
-
Ive been playing MMOs since 1999, I played Everquest and basicly tried every MMO since. What i have learned is that on expansion patch days login servers are severly clogged with an influx of new/returning players and lags up the servers quite a bit. Having 2 million accounts is not really that much in a F2P game where the…

This guy goes around posting on any and all threads that are complaints saying basicly saying to shut up and deal or stop crying. My guess is that he is 1 of 2 things. He is either a paid employee of PWE, or, He is some Half <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> person that loves the taste of **** and dirt and is therefore…
