you threatened him with sanctions.
you dont need a smuggler ID to carry anything that the game does not consider contraband. You cant be sanctioned for trading diamonds etc, just RP consequences apply here.
There are some real RP jerk offs out there. I was threatened to be killed for 'smuggling' diamonds in my rhino when i was <l30. If you trade diamonds you have to pay the piper. Nowhere in the rules does it say you can be sanctioned for trading in rheinland. The embargo is RP.
What if I bought a Outcast Dreadnaught and didn't register it? would i be OORP? no, i would be defying the OC request and placing myself on their KOS intentionally or inadvertantly. Thats My business. Same with trading with a trader ID. If you arent smuggling contraband you can have a trader ID. Thast server side not player side. The embargo is stricly player side.
I didnt twist your words. you told this person they could be sanctioned for something they could not. Good day.
