I am not new to the forums, no, but I don't remember reading anything in the forum ettiquite or rules that it is against the rules to talk about sites that sell items. I know that you can't talk about hacking etc, but it never occured to me that these sites would dupe or bot.
I also find your comments about communism, and your suggestion that it is a 'big deal' offensive. I lived in Cuba for 8 months, which is defined as a communism/socialism (same diff whatever). I found the system to work fine; a lot less homeless people anyway.
You say that buying items encourages dupers and botters; well so does trading for items! And I'm sure that everybody who plays Battle.net has traded for items, where as only a small fraction of them have bought from one of these sites.
I understand what you're saying though, and I'm sorry. I think this thread has gone a wee bit off topic, so if we could just stick to heart carver please...
