This is like paying someone to watch television for you.jeffersonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181317496937021099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20160325.post-45908937741909629042008-12-09T06:48:00.000-08:002008-12-09T06:48:00.000-08:00Well, I actually play WoW and NO I WOULDN'T BUY A ...Well, I actually play WoW and NO I WOULDN'T BUY A NO REAL OBJECT. I first saw this kind of transaction for "Ever Quest"; its another MMORPG. I was working at a University and I had watch this girl play Everquest for a good year; her job was Lab attendant. She disappeared for a term and when I saw her again I asked how she was doing in her game. She said she had stopped playing and was auctioning off her game charaters items on Ebay. I chuckled because I thought she was kidding but she wasnt. In the end she was able to get 1,500 dollars back in her pocket after playing the game for two years. I would like to piggy back on Danilo comment and say "It is also sad when we humans pay money for objects that are not really especially when you could play the game yourself an potentially gain the object yourself." BTW: Another market out there is to pay really money to someone for the games money Gold/Silver/Copper.. Again, those that waste their money on something they could gain themselves by playing is a shame.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790098698063757484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20160325.post-3530704785703058322008-12-08T12:46:00.000-08:002008-12-08T12:46:00.000-08:00This is one of the strangest thing i have heard/re...This is one of the strangest thing i have heard/read so far.. it is indeed quite sad what sometimes the human race is able to achieve.Well, we are not supposed to understand everything, aren't we?Danilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691261818720831466noreply@blogger.com
