All your questions show that you dont realy undertand what a MMORP is.
I know what a Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game is. I am questioning user ethics in MMORPGs and trying to make a 30-minute presentation to a roomful of bored college women about it. My presentation would be drastically different if, say, I was presenting it to a roomful of Lurkers. But since I'm presenting it to a roomful of bored college women, it's Diablo for Dummies.
My question of ethics are not professional, they are moral. Philosophy 101 students do nothing but tackle moral ethics like these, usually in relation to dead white guys, and usually out on Front Quad.
Is cheating in a computer game or selling items from a computer game online ethical from a moral standpoint? Or is it okay because it's just a computer game?
Im kind of tired of people acting like MMORPs are a society where people have rights beyond what is listed above.
Gotta fight for your rights someplace. :P
Its a product, if you dont like it - stop subscribing.
I enjoy the product. I wouldn't have invested ~$100 in Blizzard merchandise if I didn't. I'm making an attempt at impartiality, but comments like that make me long for the Ashideena and the +2 warhammer power it brings. "For the glory of Lathander!" *SWACK!*
