A game developer can't satisfy both groups though. As one of the players from the "earning it " group, I will never play a MMOG which condones and/or sponsors RMT. It's a basic principle of design which makes the game unplayable for me. Most of us"e…
Why bother to earn anything when you can just outright buy it?
This comes down to a difference in MMO game-play philosophy. On one side are the folks who demand the whole point of an MMORPG is to 'earn' every thing- that's point of the game, gri…

ya know, I hate to break it to you, but I've seen mmo companies do just that. You HAVE heard of SWG, right? Granted it wasn't micro payments that buggered their games, but various other "new systems" they introduce…

maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't an item mall basically guarantee that crated items would be a waste of time, and thus crafting itself be completely pointless?
Absolutely, yes. I'm sure that one of the m…
All I can say is, "Long overdue!" Way to go NCSoft! Nice to see some large developer of U.S. games is finally taking the plunge into the RMT- fantastic business model.
Can't wait to see how they will implement NCcoin in Guild Wars and CoH!

That is an old press release, just before BC came out. It does list in the breakdown that majority of subs are in China alone. Coincidence that mo…

Well, if it is the core issue of your argument, then your argument is poorly based. I didn't state why it is irrevelant simply because in my perusal of these forums I have seen the exact point made before. T…

When it comes to getting the high-end gear, yes the game is more fair in the way that it rewards players.
Well at least you can see the game is lacking here, nice to hear the admission, jedimario. Per…

If you believe WoW to be a long leveling process or a grind, then apparently you have never played a older MMORPG like EQ where levels meant something. EQ is now garbage but it use to be a great game.
EQ was my firs…

That's it. Those are the only facts. The rest is opinion.

Buying gold does not wreck the economy. If it did, WoW would not have 10 million subscribers.

The lack of unpredictability in the world.
After playing for a short amount of time, the "newness" factor wears off. I always know where said MOB is going to be. I always know what loot it's going to drop. I always know my major city is safe. …

I definitely fall into the Co-op. PvP has never been my thing in RPG's for some reason, maybe I've just never given it a chance. I love single-person FPS and multi-player FPS but never gone there in an MMORPG.
I solo more than co-op though, exce…
