ethical question for MMORPG players
yes this is going to be about gill sellers, platnium sellers, gold sellers or whatever your game uses for ingame currency. A little background about the situation. Yes i know that money buying/selling is illegal, but i still almost did it back in january. My little brother used to play FFXI with me and was having a very hard time keeping up with the equipment demands of his job/level, so i was gonna buy some for him for his birthday. I had looked around online at various sites and the cheepest prices i found were jsut under $40 US for 10mil gill. I went as far as to create an account with the company and put a 10mil stack in my shopping cart. If it wasn't for a very important phone call i would have gone through with the transaction. Well fastforward a few months and i went back to the website to close the account i had opened because they kept sending me emails about all thier 'great' sales. When i logged into my account and was about to cancel it i saw that the order status on that 10mil stack was not canceled as it should have showed, but was actually showing as proccessing. about 6 hours, 3 online chat sessions, and 2 phonecalls to the business itself, boy they were freaked i got thier number since the one they list on the site is out of service, i convinced them that not only did i already pay for the gil, but that it had never been delivered. I just scammed them out of 10mil gill, which also happens to have raised in price from the 40ish bucks in Jan to almost $150!! If you guys were in the same situation, would you keep and use the gil, distribute it among friends and/or random people, or just get rid of it. I honestly and stuck on this little quandry, and am looking forward to my fellow gamer's input as well as anyone else who reads this.
