In a truly free market, I could exchange my musings for WoW gold.

Do people really pay real money for WoW gold?

Tell me they do.

They even pay to get items and levelled characters...you know, instead of PLAYING ti get them while having fun.

On the other hand, if they don't find the game fun without that stuff, and they do find the game fun with it...

Why not? Sounds like a game design issue.

I just can't believe that I've been DMing since 1977 non-stop, but I never thought of letting people PAY me for experience and loot.

I am naked & ashamed.

You have to go dark side DM first and create a game experience which is less fun to beat legitimately. Then you can charge for character successes.

Well they pay middlemen, not the company... this means you would be DMing for indian and chinese farming bots.

Who likes being 3rd level?  Fucking nobody.  The character isn't new, but it isn't beef yet, either.

SO...

+2 sword:  $10
Gain a level: n!*10, where n is your current level.
Hand AND eye of Vecna:  On special, $100.  Comes with a new campaign.

Sigh. I'm not gonna sit here and try convince you over the internet that I have a very real, very physical life - one that is very close to nature and society. I appreciate that you feel the urge to "help" me with whatever you think is wrong with me, though. It's the thought that counts, I guess.

And on the topic of "Gold Farming" as it's called in the world of RuneScape: There was a massive community dedicated to taking advantage of those so sucked into the game that they spent real money on it. Me and my friend (and thousands of other people) used a macroing program to automate the completion of specific aspects of the game. We would then sell the rewards to Chinese gold-farming companies for real money. Paid well, until Fagex started banning all the bots. With the fall of the botting community, fell the rest of the RuneScape community. You could go outside, do whatever the fuck you want, and come back to millions of in-game gold a week later, ready to sell for hundreds of real dollars.

Did you just use 'fag' as a slur in referring to the company "Jagex"?
