I'm well aware of how stats works. You should read the book "How to lie with statics". It's a good read on the topic. I did admit above that the results of the poll may be skewed by people not playing SoE. It's my opinion that the majority of the player base are against the "sell&quo...

Aww I just finished making popcorn..

On a side note, I think Prrsha is one of the few people I have met in a while that is equally hardheaded as me. :wink: I do admit I get a bit obstinate about my points from time to time, tho I try to see both sides, I know I miss it here and there. :wink:

The problem is, those poll results are skewed by the fact that alot of people post on numerous forums. Some are unque Id's however I daresay a majority of them are not.

I can give you one good reason against doing this: It legitimizes a practice that legitimate players find abhorrent. If your legitimate players pack up and leave, the game’s days are numbered. For a MMORPG to be successful, you need to have that loyal fan base. That must be part of the reason Sony ...

As for you comment on twinkling, as far as I'm concerned that's exploiting a flaw in the game mechanics and should be a bannable offense like MPKing is. Interesting statement, so you are telling me that when you start a new job in ffxi, you in no way shape or form allow the money from your main job...

Do not ignore the fact that Twinking your character through any means is thus the same and thus falls into the same sphere of argument. If you wish to say Twinking is imbalancing and thus cheating, then you are joining a far more mature debate that has legs...one that is more or less tangential to t...

Ok Prrsha, indulge me for a few minutes if you will. I would like to know exactly why you feel, other then a morality standpoint why a player who buys virtual items has an advantage over you.

Simply put, I define cheating as breaking the rules in a manner that give a player a clear unfair advantage. This is my definition, I have never seen players buying gold or items as having any clear advantage over another player. Perhaps if you compared them to someone who is not smart enough to pla...

Immoral yes, cheating no more then a high level twinking their low level job. It gives no more advantage then you have if you change to a level one job and use your gil to buy all the top gear for that level. Your character has an advantage over every other level 1, should that be considered cheatin...

I understand it fully, and I agree. I have an extremely low opinion of those who buy cash in an online environment. However that belief does not lead me to the conclusion that it makes the playing field uneven, because it does not. I have played games like this for 10 years, never once have I had a ...

It really boils down to this. This is the future of Online gaming, Wether or not any of us like or dislike it, It is here to stay. I don't agree.
