In-game crime, in-game law enforcement in my opinion

People who think scamming in game loot is a crime because gold can be bought for RL cash then what do you think about this:

You should pay INCOME TAX on all the in-game loot you earn since it can be sold for RL cash!!!

RL = Real Life

Not really, that would be up to A-net and NC-Soft since they retain ownership of all Ingame Items according to the EULA. So NC-Soft then have to pay tax on it.
IRS, where are you when we need you?

How does a guy killing another gamer over a ''WoW'' sword make China go 100 years back? I mean, there's raving lunatics in the U.S. that go postal at schools with semiautomatic rifles killing dozens of their former classmates after playing Doom... Suppose that makes the States go back 1200 years in the eyes of the entire world? :b

LoL, they can only go 250 years back, they are a "baby" nation when it comes to age.

lol that would be quite humorous. Every time you cause an infraction some police appear and throw you in cyber jail. lol Do not pass go and do not collect 200 dollars.
