YOU ARE DELETED!
The purpose of playing a MMOG to gather the rewards and avoid the risks that come with real life (like death, maiming, loss of capital).
If you buy something on e-bay you are not only avoiding real life, but your avoiding the purpose of playing the videogame altogether. You dont even want to work WITHOUT THE RISKS! DELETED.

you know what they say about people who are overly phobic towards any particular agenda
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
my point is:
You're taking it too seriously.

lol
like I said....you're taking this too seriously. It's going to be A-ok

First of all. Why in your topic do you assume the reader pays for online items? If you want to do that you should change your topic to "If you.." instead of "Do you..".
I don't buy online stuff and I work for what I want in a MMORPG, but I don't care what people do with their money. Some people buy drugs with their money and they know it's wrong, but it's not my money. You don't need to care about what other people do with their money. You are just wasting your time caring.
Also Nerf, your not making a good debate. Your acting like a kid. BTW, control yourself around Old Man.
So what is the main point of your rant? Are you going about the ads or somthing? Seems like there is more behind this.

RISING DRAGOON ~AION US ONLINE LEGION for Elyos
allrighty ill give u my point of veiw..
i find nuthing wrong with it.. never done it before and never will but i find nuthing wrong with it
its for lazy people to start having fun in the game as a higher level rather then to work hard like the rest of us..
im lazy but i still dont do it lol
My guess is this dude been playing some Mmo then his friends went out and bought some in game money/items and show off around him.Thats why he got pissed off and he prolly doesnt have any friends gotta come into this forum and acting like retard ,because his mommy wont give him money to buy it or w/e reason it is.
People play game for entertainment , which means they use MONEY to buy the game to entertain themself and if they going to use their hard earn money to buy items/money or w/e they want to entertain themself so let it be . It's not like they are using your money to buy those stuff.
Buying online money on ebay can also be failure on the side of the game. For example EVE Online takes FOREVER to become powerful and getting the fun stuff, so people buy money so they can *experience* it now as opposed to waiting another month or two.
For example, the newcomers to EVE are at a disadvantage to pretty much everybody and because of the way skills work will be forever. So they buy money to even the playing a field a little bit and for the costs of getting pwned a lot.
Sounds like a pretty depressing game but im enjoying it. I don't buy online money btw. I don't mind it either, because some people have lives they need to live and these mmos right now are making them choose one the other.
Of course there are those who just do it to become extremely powerful. Well let him become super powerful because thats how he has fun. Otherwise he might be bored and so whats the point in playing?
Is it his fault he is bored with the grind or the games fault?
In conclusion, the games where people buy money for (pretty much all) do it for...well two reasons come to mind:
1. The buyer has a very busy life offline and can't grind for hours.
2. the games lower-mid content sucks and people just want to be high lvl quicker. So they buy money to get good gear to get there faster, for example.

I think the only thing pathetic about this topic is the people that whine so desperately about it. Have you ever stopped to think that there actually may be an understandable situation for why some people buy virtual items and currency. Consider the fact that some online gamers may actually have a very busy schedule in that other place called REAL LIFE. Some are single, full-time fathers who also work full time and though they have a love for the massively multiplayer online gaming experience, just don't have the time to grind for hours and hours on end the way many online games require gamers to do in order to stay on par.
Luckily there are gamers with a bit more time on their hands to help them suffice their characters for a small fee. Even for those that do have the time but would rather spend their money just to deck their characters out. Who are you to judge them? After all, time is money. They go hand in hand, so the exchange of the two shouldn't bother any of us.

Nerf, seriously, you need to shut the DELETED up. No one is at all affected by your opinion. One measly forum post is not going change a god damn thing. Not only is this one of the most retarded posts ever, but you have no say in how people use their money. Call them failures at life, super nerds, or whatever the DELETED you wanta call it. People like you piss me off because you think that showing you're supposed "superiority" in "mental stability" will earn you kudos with the rest of the forum go-ers here, and cause them to flock and agree to your opinion. Listen, why don't you do the rest of the world a favor, and jump off a DELETED bridge, like the rest of the DELETED of the word eventually end up doing.

hasn't this horse been beaten into a pair of shoes or a leather coat yet?
a) it doesn't affect you so why get so upset over it?
b) i think maybe you need a break from the mmo and need to go outside for a little bit.
you do realize that the people who buy and sell gold don't give a crap what some idiot says on a internet forum? what, are they going to one day read your post and think "omfg! wtf am i doing? this is sooo wrong. that one guy is so right! i'm going to kill myself now!"
not gonna happen, you're just wasting everyone's time
you also need to stop being so jealous over what everyone else has in a game. if anyone is pathetic, its you for getting this pissed over a video game.
If you are avoiding life AND THE VIDEOGAME, DELETED

Anyone who defends buying videogame items on E-bay is probably one of those types of losers.
I admit, playing a MMO myself, I am a loser. But there is a class of losers far below me, completely wallowing in loserdom.
I admit Im lazy too. Im playing a MMO, avoiding the risks involved with real life, I admit it. THESE PEOPLE ARE AVOIDING THE RISKS IN THE VIDEOGAME! GOOD GOD THAT IS SOME DELETED

you could have summed that up in one post
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
Buying coin & characters in game is against the TOS in every MMORPG's last I looked, so there is no justifying it. Every single person that does it should be banned, regardless of their rationable behind buying their way out of the grind everyone else is going through.
Maybe that is not a popular opinion on a site like this, which is plastered with ads from the coin-selling and powerleveling companies, and probably thrives on their filthy, corrupt ad revenues, but thats the truth of the matter: people who rationalize & encourage cheating are the cause of the decline of decency & integrity in online games today.
Don't try to justify rmt. If there's nothing wrong with it, then why will no one admit to it? People who use rmt will swear on their mother's life that they haven't. I'll admit that anyyone who spends as much time as i do in fantasy worlds is somewhat patheic. But people who cheat in these games and then lie about it to try to look better than other players are pathetic on a whole 'nother level. The truth is that people who participate in rmt have only one goal, being more "uber" than the next guy. They have no desire to accomplish anything in these games.
There is no best MMORPG, only favorites.
You know what people are when they avoid life AND THE VIDEOGAME?! Whats next? Do you want somebody to turn your computer on for you because your too lazy to do it yourself? YOu might break a nail in the process too god forbid.
OR, they buy stuff on E-bay so they do not HAVE to avoid life?
Not going to argue with you because you obviously have the intelligence of a shower curtain, but for future reference, think then write.
