I laughed. But yeah seriously why spend real money on an item that you can farm pp for in a day or 2 at the right camps.

Depends on how long it would take to get the item and how long to farm the money, You say at the right camps, but do you include playtime and the other 900 poeple that maybe camping these "spots" as well? Maybe some people dont have time to play in the "dead hours" and can only play in primetime when population is highest and camps are taken most of the time.

Some of these poeple have jobs where they commit to more then the game, then they make money during these hours, instead of farming plat for two or 3 hours maybe they were at work and made 100 - 200 $'s who knows and decide to spend it on a few items in their virtual game... They broke the rules and got caught, who cares they are no less human then anyone else hell buy items hardly effects anyone its more a legal issue that stops it im pretty sure.

Lol why would you work for 3 hours and spend the money you make on a game, versus playing a game for 3 hours and not spending money?

Because its a hobby for some people, some people spend money on their hobbies, some people dont have the time to camp some items, maybe the camp is always taken when they get on maybe they can only play for a few hours a day from 6 - 9 or something and groups are usually full and waiting lists there are lots of scenario's...

What most can farm in 3 hours < what most can buy for 3 hours worth of wages.

Evidently, and if people continue buying those items.... Those Camps will remain taken....

because it takes more (a lot more) than 3 hours to farm enough pp for what most of us can buy using real dollars.

the problem with EQ when it comes to RMT is that the game is so punishing and exclusive that it lends itself very easily to the RMT market.

the amount of time saved by plunking down a few irl dollars for an fbss on a new char is extremely tempting. the only rational reason not to do it is that you will eventually get banned. and you will. therefore, don't do it.
