[QUOTE="Tsyr, post: 43204, member: 354"] Your logic won't work Grendel... you're trying to compare apples to oranges. Because Mythic provides services to trade goods in one respect does not mean they allow all forms of trade. In terms of Everquest at least (I play DaoC so very rarely anymore I'm not familiar with all their policies) there are even certain types of "legit" in game trades that will get you in trouble (Scams, for example). Besides, despite what you claim, it's not "precedent". Many companies don't allow employees to smoke on the job. In fact, I'm fairly sure the vast majority do not. However, many of these same companies provide areas, either a room or a space outside yet still on the property, that employees can smoke. However, if you tried to make a case in court that it was OK if you were chompin on a big 'ol cigar while building computers on an assembly line just becuase you could do so in the employee break room, you would probably be laughed out of court. I know you wouldn't win the case. It all boils down to the EULA... Which gives the company (Be they Verant, Origins, Funcom, Mythic, you name it) every legal right to ban you if you violate their rules. Because EVERY SINGLE ACTION you did that resulted in a modification of the data of your character (which, by the way, they own, not you) was done under a legaly binding agreement to abide by their terms, which you were not required to agree to.
