More than likely, somewhere along the line, some of those mesos were achieved from hacking, looting from something that was hacked, or transactions involving a hacker.You're comparing tainted mesos, which are nearly impossible to distinguish, to tainted items which are usually easily possible to distinguish.
Saphien Wrote:What do you gain from handicapping yourselves for the sake of legitimacy? Oh wait, if you've ever traded with anyone, chances are you're already not legitimate. Well, this is an intentional handicap without much of a purpose, now isn't it?See above. And what non-cheaters are doing is not handicapping themselves but rather trying to fix things wrong with the game in whatever way they can. It is the cheaters and the apathetic who are handicapping themselves, everyone else, and the game by not worrying about what is 'legit' and what isn't.
Once again, old cliche of trying to put everyone into the same illegit boat is old and easily disproven and unjustified.
