o, bcuz jobs and getting money isn't grind?

Making real money to pay for virtual money is still work, no matter how you hash it. You're turning this into a situation that would shatter the economy and give favor to people who'd pay for the game over time (like a monthly fee), a concept that GW was born off not doing.

His point is that he is experienced, so he knows what he is talking about. We should all listen to him and agree with his idea without question, because he is the expert in such matters.

Now just a few observations:

1. At the age of 26 you really should be able to spell, or at least use a spell checker

2. Allowing people to buy gold is madness. The only reason a lot of loot is so highly priced is because people can buy the gold on websites. If we could stop the selling of online gold a lot more players who simply put the effort into to playing the game could possibly afford some high end items currently out of reach (unless lucky enough to stumble upon something of super high value).

Why does some loot even sell for millions of gold? I regard myself as a moderate player, playing maybe 3 - 6 hours a day and I have never had enough money to buy some of the items at the stupid prices shown. So the majority of people buying these items are probably buying the gold from websites (Yes I know not all, but a considerable number)

The reason why spelling and grammar is such a big deal is that if you're trying to convey a point, I would hope you would want to come across as intelligent. Your attempted barb towards other posters who "are to lazy to spell out a word" (btw, you mispelled "to" in that sentence as well) is hypocritical as you should be saying "sorry my spelling is such a big deal since I am too lazy to spell out words".

Your comments in this thread has shown that you have no understanding of economics, in game or in real life. Everyone came down on you since apparently you posted your idea without thinking through it very far and you posted in a way that was almost unreadable.

Personally, if I were to condone gold selling/buying, I would much rather see it being sold by Anet than one of the internet sites. I really don't think that there is much of a need to buy gold with real money though. I figure that on an average week I can make about 100k just by doing quests, possibly farming ectos a little, and possibly doing a few droks runs. Another easy way for me to get money (if I can stand the boredom) is to go run some HFFF and grab a few leaches. That will result in 8.75k for me in about 40 min (give or take).

After all that ...

Ok so I am done with all of this. I forgot that most people are those people that have nothing better to do than grid away on this game for hours and hours and disregard everything else in life. For me I got college and a future to look forward to. Sorry that If someone has a idea that doesnt involve griding your day away gets downed cause they are not "hardcore" for this game. I am just going to do what I want you all can waste time for all I care.

Good gravy no.

You can get any money you need to buy any necessary items in the game just simply by playing through the campaign. More than likely, you'll have enough for a few vanity items as well.

What is the point of playing this or any other game if everything, and I mean everything, is literally handed to you on a platinum platter? I'm against grinding, and my definition that seems to cover more things than most peoples, but this suggestion is absolutely ridiculous.

Oh really ?

So why does A.Net give you a 72 hour ban & take away all your money if you're caught buying gold?

Because game money is harder to grind for than real life money.

Some people are simply better at being successful at life (lucratively of course, not exactly trying to imply money=better living environment) than others. I'm not just talking about the buyers, I'm talking about the sellers, the programmers, and the people who setup this operation.

Why hate? I don't agree or disagree with Anet's RMT policy, but I am against the companies that string a network of bots.
