Is buying in game currency wrong?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
???????????????????????
If I make a chair out of wood, and sell it for U.S. dollars, is that wrong?
I know many people believe that it is a bad thing that people buy currency,
and that it hurts the game, and gives players an unfair advantage.
I am on the fence about this subject, as I think it is both good and bad for the game.
For example...
The united states, has a massive amount of illegal immigrants. These immigrants have jobs, under the table, usually doing work that no one else will do because it is generally hard work, such as farm labor for instance.
The majority of people would demand much higher wages for the work that an illegal immigrant would do for a tiny fraction of the price. The farmers use the illegal workers to be able to make a profit, it isn't because they want to make more money, it is because in order to make any profit they have to.
Now applie that concept to the gaming scene. China for instance, many many people there play video games for low wages, farming the gold or currency, or materials, which ever. It is simply a business in my eyes, one that creates alot of jobs and fills a demand, I mean, are you mad at the gold farmers, or the lazy kids that buy the gold? Think about it here, who is trying to feed their family?
