Got the link from ED forums.

Well. My position on this is simple.
#1 Fuck gil sellers. They are helping screw up our economy BAD.
#2 If you lived in China and could have this job, what would you do?
#3 Bottom line, it is SE's job to police there virtual world.
#4 I will fuck with the gil sellers at any given opportunity. If I could, I'd fuck with SE...



PS: Copy and paste the link into your browser, it works. IDK why it isnt just appearing as a link.

OK First of all I can't believe someone is justifying this behavior and
Second of all I can't believe someone DIED from playing video games too long. O.O

Sick people, that's all there is to it.

If e-commerce becomes a legitimate thing I am quitting the game. There's no way gil selling can be legalized. NO WAY!!!!!!

I find the korean man dying from playing too much very funny anyidiot who sits ona game more than 50 hours deserves to die im sorry. And abot the virtual econom arguement i think its a load of crap maybe if SE would pursue and try to make a lawsuit againts these big companies liek IGE who sell gell for rl dollars maybe their wouldnt be as much gil selling, but of course its all about the money and SE dosent want to upset that 1/3 who pay rl money to advance themselves or whatever

well, it sux on ffxi that for gil sellers to make money, they get in the way of the "real players", and that it's a forbiden thing by the TOS
if that was not the case I wouldn´t give a damn, on ultima online u could do w/e u wanted and I used to sell gold, items and train chars for people... why? just because one time in 2 hours I made more money playing that I did working 15 days
the diference was that in uo u didn´t have to screw others to make money and selling gold didn´t really fuck up the economy
ya, brazilian exchange rates and wages suck ass TT
