"Publisher-sponsored cash shops are a good thing if it means I can get away with not paying a monthly subscription to play. However, it can be a very bad thing in a competitive game when one's success starts to be measured by the size of one's donations. Trading real money for virtual currencies is very bad. That turns me off a game in a big hurry if the game masters don't keep it in check. Or even worse, if they officially endorse it."

"I think its inevitable, it cant be moderated, you cant legally go after the companies doing it, so it needs to be addressed through game design. The RMT exists to relieve players who dont want to waste time doing boring, repetitive tasks, why should those exist in something designed to entertain? Lenghtening gameplay can be done in more creative ways, by adding content, updating the game regularly, adding events, creating tournaments, etc, etc. That being said the RMT can ruin a game, it encourages botting, it encourages account hacking and it encourages other forms of cheating."

If the cash items added for example +10% or lower accuracy to a weapon as opposed to +20% or higher, then I would be fine with that."

"Well it is a waste of money, but so is gambling. We do spend money on points. It's ok because we count this as our entertainment money in our budget. However, what I don't like is gold spammers. I don't like the fact that a third party would sell people gold for real money to play in a game or pay them real money for their gold. Drives me absolutely crazy. "

dhochsta said 10 days ago:

"There are valid places for it, depending upon the game and the TOS of the provider. It really depends upon how the developers think about that when they develope the game (most didn't until recently). It is unavoidable, as people with money, who want to buy something will find a seller, just as those who see a way to sell items for money, will also find a buyer."

Stickypurplecat said 10 days ago:

"I think gold and item farmers perpetuate an abusive economy that damages gameplay. If I were to buy virtual items for real money, I would want it to come directly from the developers of the game, and I would want an item that doesn't expire, serves only for aesthetic purposes and is cheap. I believe that offering items for real currency that affect gameplay provide an unfair advantage for players who have more disposable income."
