Must have lost a good bit of money to be that mad. This entertains me greatly.

The view is always that good from the kiddies table. Taking risk is never a child's forte

I like how, in this scenario, the people watching you throw a tantrum over losing the pixels on an elf sim that you paid real money for are the children.

There's an old saying "if everyone is thinking the same thing then no one is thinking.."

You should probably stop using this old line. Wise up and realize that whether its pixels, a picasso, or fuckin printed-on green pieces of paper. Its the value ASSIGNED to the object.

I still cannot get my head around RMTers. You have a game which can offer weeks or months of adventure before you reach max level, so you pay someone to let you skip to the end. It's not like any rational human being would see a whole book for £5 and decide they'd rather pay £25 for just the last chapter and a precis, so why do that in a game?

Maybe I'm just a crazy ESAK here, but isn't the value in the journey rather than the destination?

Look at this from our perspective. Nilbog and I have spent a tremendous amount of our free time over the last 5 years to build and provide this server (With the help of many other developers and CSR's) without any monetary gain ourselves. It can't be said enough that donations go to the upkeep of the servers and nothing else. This isn't something like twitch where your "donations" are literally going into the pocket of the streamer.

So to see people to making thousands of dollars selling off virtual items in a game we work hard to provide for nothing is one of the biggest disrespectful insults I've ever seen.

This isn't directed entirely at Stormfist's comment but just my thoughts in general about why we take the stance we do against RMT.

I would totally donate more if I thought the cash was going towards hookers and blow.
