Looks like is selling stuff on auction sites wont last much longer. And it says that selling money and items  is killing the economy which i agree with.

Blegh, two game companies that I started to hate a few years ago:

- Lucas Arts - because they stopped making good adventure games, and just making StarWars sequels to sequels to sequels
- Blizzard - for complete unoriginality and just playing on the \"everybody knows the name Warcraft\" card :P ...war3 was a disappointment, i don\'t even want to get close to WoW

...but then again, that\'s probably just me - play what you like, it\'s your choice.

I spent 3 years playing wc3, making custom games, playing custom games.. etc.  I believe it\'s best game I played in my life.  Why?  Because like I said, it kept my interest and entertained me for 3+ years.
Blizzard is a company that needs to make some cash, jumping warcraft card is smart thing to do because of previous success.

Damn how brain dead has someone to be to buy game money with real money.

Well, what is the point of having a MMORPG, which costs money and sucks, while you can have a MMORPG which is free and is pretty good.
I want to be a flame, to crumble to ash, but never ever burnt.

I want to rise higher, rise up to the heavens, but sink, just sink down deeper and deeper into nothing,

I want to be an angel, a chosen, a devil, but I am just a creature that ever wants what it wont get.

I actually bought WoW yesterday ( well, ordered, they sold out the day before )
I loved the beta, and I don\'t care about others cheating like that... How will it affect me if I join an RP server? I\'m not going to play against them, so I don\'t care.
I might even join a test server, to have some fun trying new things.

That said, I hope blizzard do stop it, Ebay items etc s pathetic.

I like Red Jelly Beans!

These kinds of things hurt the games economy. ITs pretty sad. You have to be UBER nerd to buy weapons with real money :D

I don\'t think it makes you a nerd...

A cheater is more likely.
It is unfair to buy something others have to strive for...
But if you want to waste your money on it... go ahead
