nah Gustahn, i think you misunderstood me, though I wasn't clear overall.

RMTing on P99 is like stealing from a Mom & Pop store - it makes you a literal shithead irl for doing it.

RMTing on Sony, Blizzard, Verant, etc's bill? That's what I'm saying. I'd never think twice about stealing from Walmart.

Its a 3rd party profit without consent. Thats illegal.

F2P is legal as its the company itself that makes the transactions, which is more an ethical question based on the model itself. As their model is based around rented items and not producing curreny from thin air.

What if everybody thought that way about walmart?

What if everyone stole from walmart with the thought oh they make millions its ok. Then walmart would cease to make money, the company would go under and welfare of those who worked for it would be in limbo.

The parallel you're making between doing RMT on a live server and stealing from Walmart doesn't really work, at all.

I traded a manastone on the silk road for a full bottle of 30mg adderall.
