Adam, Interesting post.
They sold codes but money came into game by alt farming.
They were effectively buying in game money for real money.
Auctions, not often mentioned, seems to be an area where people might have reasonable complaint about the money some have. But not part of mnf, a private arrangement.
100m is ridiculous and useless. But with 6 AVs allowed on a prem account I can see an argument for 1.5 – 2m.
Why did she get warned/banned?
Jenna-X, Sorry if I offended, not my intention. We basically agree but maybe at cross purposes.
Player B took advantage of player A's cash. That is true but my point was that Player A got rid of cash that was no use and saved $25 real money and B got more in game cash than buying in game money. Both win and mnf still sells code. No guarantee A would have bought code and B house otherwise.
Nobody needs a house unless they throw parties. True, but you don't need a design to use apartment; or multiple outfits. People just want and why not?
It didn't impact the economy, non premium players or premium players. It does impact those unwilling to spend $25 on a video game for a 3 month sub. Agree with first part but don’t understand second.
Maybe we should ask if we really care about those who won't spend $25 or should we cater to those unwilling to support the game?
Good point. I would say we need a mass of players. Maybe some will get prem but I started off non-prem; we don’t want to discourage players. I don’t think non-prems cost game anything; ok, server space.
There has to be a big differentiation between prem and non-prem to make paying worthwhile. But some things could be opened up to non-prems without eroding this. Maybe by opening things up at a certain level, like baths. But this is not really the thread for it.
