Uhh.. yeah. This has become quite the debate in Q&A now too..

Although it doesn't surprize me either. This guy is saying he's selling "the time and effort" he put into aquiring a nitemare scarf. You still recieve the scarf but he's profiting from it reguardless. When it comes down to it he's still profiting from this transaction outside of Gaia and therefore it is against the rules. He's just too arrogant to realize that.

Well, they do sell all sorts of MMRPG items on ebay, be it Final Fantasy XI gils or Lineage II Epic Mounts; The online 'game' Second Life (imagine a 3d version of Gaia, nearly) works directly with real cash so that you buy new user avatars, land, vehicles, what have you. Same said with Gunbound or PangYa (I spent 2000yeni on a full PangYa outfit myself, and let me tell you, it's tres cute :3)

You know a level 60 FFXI character in full fancy armour is worth in excess of $200?

Everything has a price. Everything, even that "everything" is virtual and technically 'doesn't exist'. So there's nothing particularly reprehensible with selling a Gaia item, surely (except that it's against gaia's TOS).

Now THAT's pathetic

The point of getting good items is working for it i.e. posting on gaia or fighting monsters in an mmorpg. That's the point of the game, gives it challenge or an aim.

The point of getting items is to dress up your character.
They should give us everything for free and get rid of the gold system altogether.

Then you wouldn't have kids spending their birthday money on pixelated ebay auctions.

Then we'll just have a sea of over dressed dead accounts and users leaving in droves and still being idiots and going to other forums, including YOURS.

Keep them here and they may learn, and fortunatelyt STAY HERE.

The thing is the god/avatar system is what makes the appeal of this site. Otherwise it would just be another forum like the thousands of boards out there.

i still dont get why people will buy a character... if your playing the game.. the fun in it is building up your own unique character.
