I am against the idea of selling MMORPG characters. Like it ruins the unbalances the game for other players that put in the hours to get from level 1 to level 60 (or what ever), not to mention epic loot. And then you have some idiot show up with thier ebayed / powerleveled character.

Lots of gold farming spam, mainly. A few have wante t sell their Steam accounts and such, and a few with high level characters. All of these violate the ToS for the games.

By using a blanket policy, we leave no "wiggle" room for anyone to try to do it anyway. Better safe than sorry.

There are many takes on this, I personaly am for it as long and no one gets hurt by it. I have a friend with A.D.H.D. and he cannot stay focused on a specific task for more then 5 minutes. If he wishes to do something that takes a fairly long time to obtain then why can't he just be the service? Well some see it as "Illigal" but I for one am saying there is wiggle room, doing it for profit is wrong but not allowing it to happen at all is also wrong.

While Person A is playing he is paying a fixed rate. Person B is waiting. Person A finishes, and sells to person B, person B begins to play. While the transition may seem smooth and the people behind the game have been making money there is another way. Both player A and B have been playing and paying the fixed rate. There is just soo much more then I have time to disscuss but the point is keep the trading OFF the internet and it's LEGIT.

BTW Nice to see that Trotter is still around. =]
I haven't been online lately. =[
