Quote:Take the extreme: a person who buys a level 80+ character fully decked out that has completed the game on all three levels. Buyer plays the game for a few minutes, gets bored and quits. Fool or not?
Fool. Obviously. I'd also like to play some poker with him :)
But it is possible that another person might get 10, 20, or even 50 hours of play-time out of that twinked out character. How long does it take to get from level 80 to level 99? I dunno, but I bet it's a lot. And seeing how many level 99s are out there, SOMEONE must be having fun* doing it. Otherwise, why bother?
It's not my cup o' tea, and I think it's extremely moronic, but if someone wants to buy virtual items using real money who am I to stop him? To each his own.
*- fun for them, that is
