Why World of Warcraft is going down the drain

[Ecolem]

Yes well today is another day and...yes i must say i do think about u..hmm i cant really classify it as a nerd
But i will tell you this...ITS JUST A GAME!!!!!!!!!!

[sashok]

Some people don\'t want to sacrifice time to develop in game because they work... Thus they have real cash that they can apply in game.  Since they also want to feel superior in game(natural feelings of uberers) they rather pay some considerate amount of cash for an item or gold...  Ruins economy? No way, this gold was not hacked, it was earned by somebody too, and passed on.

Game? What do you mean \"game\"? You can die and everything... this isn\'t game, it\'s a life!

Ok Draklar follow me towards this nice white room.  Yes you will get used to the sponginess of the floor and walls.  Yes, the dry-cleaners will accept your nice white jacket.

They are. Hey, it wasn\'t said if the equipment was supposed to be real or not

I have to say that you should learn to look for drawbacks in yourselves before looking for them in others.
You are so quick to call others \"idiots\", \"nerds\", \"retards\" and so on, while you are virtually blind to the things that you do.
\"Nerds\"? Hello? You are playing an online role playing game, spending lots of time on it. Many people would consider that being nerd. I could be called \"nerd\" for training in knighthood irl... Should I care about that? No. People saying that are usually half-wits. Seriously, who cares about their opinion? But you people are no better. Make up insults for other people just because their behaviour happens to be different from yours. They spend real money... big deal. Heard of such phrase as \"time is money\"? You waste time, they waste money.
Furthermore some of them might be working hard to earn the money... earn a lot and want to relax after hard day. Having lots of money and little time, one might want to skip the leveling part.
But hey, why don\'t you attack people who pay-to-play? It\'s pretty much same thing.
Ok, but you were using words such as idiots or retards. So I decided to check how it is with your intelligence.
And here\'s a big surprise: Even after I said the gauntlets are real, people were thinking I\'m talking about in-game equipment.

Fine if you don\'t like it, you can express your feelings, but cut it out with the offending. If someone has lots of money and decides to spend them in that way, why do you make fun of them? Are you jealous? Don\'t aprove behaviour different from yours?
Someone could make fun of you for spending hours in front of computer (you don\'t have life). But it\'s all bs. You like it so why not do it?

Yes, I made fun of some of you
but goddamn you deserved it...

I wouldn\'t say they are sick... rather that you are narrow minded...
I mean what is the point of having money? Most likely to please oneself.
There are many ways to spend money. First of all to buy food and pay for other necessary things. But then you spend them on whatever you want. Some might buy even paintings or collect various things. What do they get from it? Well not much. Only personal pleasure.
But some people buy game money with it... actually get to save some time... wow... how sick...

Buying ingame things with real money could also be called a investment...

Huh...$26,500AU for some graphics 8o , and his Australian as well :rolleyes:

[Adeli]

Well this is pointless now, Blizzard will punish anyone selling items, they have announced.
I can\'t be bothered finding a link, go to homepage, then click announcements.

Anothwe interesting game I was looking at called Project Entropia has a system where you pay for in game money, and can have in game money converted to real money again.

[Adeli]

That\'s what they were talking about... where the Aussie guy spend thousands on an island.

[Cybio Kingfist]

Yeah, a few thousand in game dollars. I looked at the conversaion rate foir that game and it\'s one dollar equals 10 in game.

He spent 300 dollars for a peice of in game property.

It did sound cool but that\'s ridiculous. : d

[Caldazar]

Every single MMORPG worth its name out there has had problems with people selling stuff via the internet. UO, EQ, EQ2, Lineage, Lineage2, DAoC, WoW, Shadowbane, you name it.

The fact that Blizzard puts its foot down shows that they are serious about this, but there is no way that they can stop people from trading ingame cash for real cash. People will find different ways of doing it.
