It's not bullshit. Many people make lots of money through selling currency in MMOs. Just look at any MMO and you'll see how big the RMT problem is. You've got people who sell currency themselves, or big companies like IGE, then you got some that run sweat shops. Paying people to do nothing but farm items and gold to sell to real players.
I know for a fact IGE has thier hands dipped into WOW, Lineage, FFXI, COV/COH, SWG, RF online, EQ, EQ 2, Eve, DAoC, Dungeons and Dragons, Second life, and a few more. They buy currency, accounts, and items from players or RMTers for cheap and sell it back to players for more. They make ALOT of money.
While I find it sad people will pay money for this sort of thing you can't blame others for taking advantage of them. You know what they say.. A fool and his money is soon parted.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
