I see that it are the gamers who are professional sell the stuff.. and to be able to sell the stuff you got to first be a high level which is just hard to attain without the aid the others get.

A game in my opinion is a way to escape from the real world. Winning from someone who owns a thousand fold of money could be done, but now that guy would just be too strong.

I don’t think it would ruin the game. The game would merely become an extension of reality.

At the moment we hire a lot of specialist to do our jobs. We don’t build our own houses, cars, washing machines, computers etc… We let other people build them and we have use them. Some people do a lot of DIY, others let other people do their chores for some money.

Why not let a gamer get you a nice charachter, nice items or something else and then you buy it and have fun with it.

But if that would become the trend you’ll end up with people only being able to have a decent amount of fun and level in a game if they buy additional goods.. that would in my opinion ruin the game.

I don’t think it is that foolish. It takes time to gain gold and items in online games. Time is worth money.

If players would like to have the gold or items, but don’t have the time to play they naturally would want to pay for these things.

It doesn’t really matter whether they are ‘real’ or not.

OMFG… Only paying every month for playing a game online is very stupid. But paying for WoW gold and items. Couldn’t we make money out of it?
