The very obvious difference here is that your friend put in more work that you did. He spent time and effort doing an instance to earn money, while you didn't. He earned his money.

getting your money from RMT gives you an unearned (ingame) advantage.

You seem to offer a lot of justification, and excuses for people who buy from RMT. You point out several times that we can't stop them, and that there will always be a market for ingame assets. Yet you also say you are against them, and people who buy from them. So I'm wondering, what exactly is the point your trying to make?

I mean almost everyone in this thread would agree that we will never fully be rid of RMT, and those that buy from them. The fact that there will always be a market for ingame assets does not make it okay, nor does it preclude any further discussion.

And as for aimless, I can sympathize with the frustration. Although your arguments are mostly reasonable. You tend to make them in a very smug/self-amused way.

But I guess that's just a matter of my Point of View
