What has gotten into this world and MMORPGs?!
I was watching TV today, forget what show it was, but they were talking about online RPG item selling. It was said that over a BILLION dollars a year is spent on online RPG item sales. That is frickin disturbing, I'm sorry. These kids need to get lives. Anyone who spends money on something like that is a total loser. I'm not a jerk, or someone who goes around hating on people, but hearing that just makes me really angry. I also know that technically it's not my right to tell people what to spend their money on, but I'm not really doing so. To me, spending big money on online items makes you a disgrace to society. A billion dollars is a lot. But most of it was spent in asia, like China and Japan.
I also heard this, and this is no joke. Some kid in China sold his friend's unique sword and he got arrested for a LIFE SENTENCE. He is going to prison for the rest of his life for selling his friend's sword in some damn RPG. The whole show just made me angry. Some people take gaming way too seriously, and it shows when kids in Japan and China are killing themselves after they lose unique items, and starving themselves to play 60 hours straight of these games. What has gotten into this world? Jam it back in, in the dark.

You know what? You're right probably. He killed him and then got a life sentence. There's nowhere I can't reach.

People say they buy items because they don't have the time to build up their character. What's the point of even playing the game though? That's why MMORPGs are fun. You build up your character. To me it's like buying a game and using a code to start right at the end boss of a game with perfect stats and beating the entire game in a minute.
If someone doesn't have time to build up stats and train your character, then what is the point in even playing an MMORPG in the first place? That whole reason sounds a little odd to me. I'm not buying that the older ones are the ones buying these because they don't have time. I think it's strictly addictions of kids wanting things NOW, rather than training for them. I don't think it had anything to do with older people with jobs taking a shortcut to dominance, because they don't have the time to play it. Again, if that were the case, there would be no real reason to even play the game. It's like buying a book and skipping to the last chapter right away because you don't have time to read the whole thing. How ya doing, buddy?
