I love this line:
“They argue that as long as players in wealthy parts of the world continue to provide a market for buying and selling of virtual currencies, there will always be someone willing to sit 10-12 hours a day gathering it for them.”

Kind of like how as long as someone provides some loser grindfest, there will always be someone willing to sit there playing it for a monthly fee. It’s such an interesting juxtaposition; people wanting to buy gold always imply that they have some sort of value system for time, money, and quality of experience, yet the very act of paying a premium monthly fee for an MMO directly proves otherwise.

But as for the rest of it, i’m mixed. On one hand, RMT can suck my balls. On the other, legitimizing it sounds like a way to eventually force MMORPG devlopers — who may also suck my balls — to take some fucking responsibility as to the time and effort players put toward earning things ingame.
