I am RMT: Response to Tobold Interview with a Gold Seller
PR for Mogs? Yes. Interesting? Sure. Self-righteous attacks against anything RMT as a result? Absolutely.
Full time MMORPG players are pissed off at the mere mention of RMT. Some are even unsubscribing to Tobold's blog (check the comments), lol! I happen to buy virtual currency, so it makes me laugh to see how worked up "serious gamers" get about the issue.
Sometimes I feel sorry for full-time gamers. Then I remember how arrogant and condescending some have been towards me. Then I remember that people need to excel at things. Humans need to succeed, and for some, games are where achievement can be found.
We're all human. We all find achievement in different places. Some of us like to dominate others with accomplishments. Gamers, included, are humans too. :)
Anyways, the article opens up many questions. It brings up a perspective that many won't even speak of. Many of the comments center around questions about the validity of the interviewee. I'd like to comment on the interview, and the interviewee in particular. Mogs.com does have higher customer support and satisfaction than it's competitors. How do I know? I run an independent web site dedicated to increasing game experiences for Final Fantasy XI players, through FFXI guides, along with FFXI price comparisons. I happen to know that Mogs.com recieves high reviews for it's services.
I'm not posting this in order to promote Gilfinder.com, or other RMTs such as Mogs.com. I am, however, stating the obvious. RMT is alive and well - chances are, if you are a serious gamer, people that you know are engaged in the practice.

I don't see what the big deal is. It saves time and in a lot of cases money to purchase virtual currency.
Here's a site that tracks the prices of virtual assets, check them out ffxi gil price comparison
