Yeah that's what it sounds like. I posted a "burn in hell" comment that is likely to be deleted, but it doesn't matter.
This guy is a professional capitalist; out to make a buck apparently regardless of ethics or consideration for others. I hope I meet him on a PvP server some day.
Basically his statements on the economy in his responding comments essentially lead me to this conclusion:
Isolated economies in games are bound to be destroyed because people have excess wealth outside the game and means of transferring that wealth in game.
Yeah, I can see that. What I don't understand is why people don't understand that this is a game and should be treated as such. This is an opportunity for people without excess loot in the real world to compete based on their merits. That is what it is designed to do. If you don't like that, go to Second Life or another game which permits trading.
Don't invade the realms where the rules say you can't do that. We're happy with those rules and cheer Blizzard and other companies who back us up and enforce them.
